Further, as the material of the core material 6, aluminum, synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride resin, virgin pulp paper, recycled paper or the like can be used, but recycled paper can be preferably used from the viewpoint of resource protection.

The surface decorative plate 8 is a surface material for giving a design feeling due to the texture of wood, the texture of cloth, and an abstract pattern, and has a veneer coated on its surface or a veneer coated with a decorative paper. (Board) or veneer plywood, wood fiber board, metal plate and the like can be used. As the decorative paper, printed on a resin film such as vinyl chloride resin, printed on thin paper, or impregnated with a synthetic synthetic resin such as urea / formalin resin or melamine resin on thin paper, and then printed. A thing, a veneer, etc. can be used. The thickness of the surface decorative plate 8 is not particularly limited in the present invention, but is usually 2 to 1 for example.
It is 0 mm.

As the paper board 7, it is preferable to use a paper board having a very small expansion and contraction due to temperature and humidity.

The adhesive for adhering the paperboard 7 to the core material is not particularly limited in the present invention. For example, a synthetic resin water-based emulsion type adhesive, a hot melt type or a solvent type adhesive is used. Etc. can be used.

The transparent plate 3 may be made of transparent glass, translucent glass, frosted glass, shaped glass, stained glass, or the like, which is used for incorporating light or for decoration. The present invention is not limited to glass, but a transparent polypropylene resin plate, a colored resin plate or a translucent polyethylene resin plate, a decorative plate different from the surface decorative plate, a surface material for obtaining a design feeling, and the like. It is also possible to use a pattern or the like.
