FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the wall material, the frame, and the fitting member as viewed obliquely from above.

[0015] The wet unit room 100 shown in Fig. 1 includes a floor material 10, a frame 20, an adhesive 30, a wall material 40, and a fitting member 50. The wet unit room 100 is, for example, a bathroom. Therefore, the wet unit room 100 further includes a bathtub 200. The wet unit room 100 is, for example, a home unit bath (system bath).

[0016] The flooring material 10 is, for example, a washing area floor. The wet area unit room 100 may be, for example, a hotel unit bath in which a toilet bowl, a vanity unit, etc. are attached on the flooring material 10. The flooring material 10 may be the floor of a hotel bathroom. The specific configuration of the wet area unit room 100 is not limited to the example in FIG. 1 and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the wet area unit room 100 may be a shower room that does not have a bathtub 200.

[0017] The floor material 10 constitutes the floor surface of the bathroom unit room 100. The floor material 10 is formed, for example, in a shallow container shape (pan shape) with the peripheral portion folded upward, and has waterproof properties that prevent hot and cold water from leaking outside the room. The floor material 10 is supported by support legs 110. The floor material 10 has a floor portion 11 and a wall-mounting recess 12 provided on the outer periphery of the floor portion 11, on which the wall material 40 is placed.

[0018] The upper surface 11a of the floor portion 11 is exposed to the room and is the portion actually used by users as a washing area. The wall-mounted recess 12 is provided on the peripheral edge of the floor portion 11 and is formed in a concave shape that is open at the top. In other words, the wall-mounted recess 12 is recessed downward from the upper surface 11a of the floor portion 11. The wall-mounted recess 12 is provided, for example, along the entire three sides of the four sides (outer edges) of the floor portion 11 that are not adjacent to the bathtub 200.

[0019] The frame 20 is attached to the floor material 10 and extends upward. The frame 20 is formed in a concave shape that opens to the indoor side. The frame 20 connects adjacent first wall material 41 and second wall material 42, which will be described later. The frame 20 is located between a second steel plate 41c of the first wall material 41 and a second steel plate 42c of the second wall material 42, which will be described later. The frame 20 has a concave portion 21 and a pair of folded portions 22, 23 that are folded back from the tip of the concave portion 21 toward the inside of the concave portion 21.

[0020] An opening 24 is formed between the pair of folded-back portions 22, 23. An insertion portion 41a2 of a first wall member 41 and an insertion portion 42a2 of a second wall member 42, which will be described later, are inserted into the opening 24. The insertion portion 41a2 of the first wall member 41 and the insertion portion 42a2 of the second wall member 42 are sandwiched between the pair of folded-back portions 22, 23. As shown in FIG. 7, the frame 20 is attached to the floor material 10 by screws 27 via mounting portions 25.

[0021] The adhesive 30 is provided on the frame 20. The adhesive 30 is provided inside the frame 20 across the vertical direction. The adhesive 30 is fixed to the frame 20, for example, in a factory. The adhesive 30 may be fixed to the frame 20 on-site. The adhesive 30 is located between the frame 20 and a wall material 40. The adhesive 30 is removably adhered to at least one of a first wall material 41 and a second wall material 42, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. 4, in this example, the adhesive 30 adheres to both the first wall material 41 and the second wall material 42.

[0022] The adhesive 30 has adhesiveness. "Adhesion" is a phenomenon commonly seen in high-viscosity liquids, which adheres without undergoing a change in state and closes or fills gaps (exhibits sealing properties) simply by applying slight pressure for a short period of time. In other words, the adhesiveness is pressure-sensitive adhesion. The adhesive is, for example, a pressure-sensitive adhesive. Note that an adhesive is a material that does not dry out completely even over time and always has adhesiveness, and is different from so-called adhesives that dry out completely over time and lose their adhesiveness (adhesion approaches zero).

[0023] The adhesive 30 also has elasticity. The adhesive 30 has elasticity, and therefore even if the wall material 40 is removed from the floor material 10, this elasticity allows the adhesive 30 to restore its original shape. Therefore, the wall material 40 can be attached to the adhesive 30 again. In other words, the adhesive 30 can be removably attached to the wall material 40. The adhesive 30 may be, for example, a gel (gel-like substance) that has adhesiveness and elasticity.

[0024] The wall material 40 is inserted into the wall-mounted recess 12 of the floor material 10 and extends upward from the floor material 10. The wall material 40 constitutes a side wall of the bathroom unit room 100 that stands upright from the outer edge of the floor material 10. The bathroom unit room 100 is assembled by inserting a plurality of wall materials into the wall-mounted recess 12 of the floor material 10. In the embodiment, the wall materials 40 arranged adjacent to each other will be described as a first wall material 41 and a second wall material 42. In addition, the bathroom unit room 100 is provided with a door DR between the wall materials 40 for opening and closing the entrance. In addition, a ceiling 120 is provided at the upper end of the wall material 40.

[0025] The wall material 40 has a first wall material 41 and a second wall material 42 disposed on the opening 24 side of the frame 20. In other words, the frame 20 is located on the back surface side of the wall material 40 and disposed facing the boundary X between the first wall material 41 and the second wall material 42. The first wall material 41 and the second wall material 42 are supported by the frame 20 via the adhesive 30.

[0026] The first wall material 41 has a first steel plate 41a exposed to the indoor side, a base material 41b fixed to the rear side of the first steel plate 41a, and a second steel plate 41c fixed to the rear side of the base material 41b. The first steel plate 41a has an exposed surface portion 41a1 exposed to the indoor side, and an insertion portion 41a2 that is bent from the exposed surface portion 41a1 toward the inside of the frame 20 and is inserted into the inside of the frame 20.

[0027] The exposed surface portion 41a1 is a decorative steel plate. The insertion portion 41a2 is formed so as to extend from the left and right ends of the exposed surface portion 41a1 toward the outside of the room and bend back. The base material 41b is formed of, for example, gypsum board. The second steel plate 41c is a reinforcing member that reinforces the first wall material 41.

[0028] Similarly, the second wall material 42 has a first steel plate 42a exposed to the indoor side, a base material 42b fixed to the back side of the first steel plate 42a, and a second steel plate 42c fixed to the back side of the base material 42b. The first steel plate 42a has an exposed surface portion 42a1 exposed to the indoor side, and an insertion portion 42a2 that is bent from the exposed surface portion 42a1 toward the inside of the frame 20 and is inserted into the inside of the frame 20.

[0029] 3 and 4, the insertion portion 41a2 of the first wall material 41 and the insertion portion 42a2 of the second wall material 42 abut on each other inside the frame 20. This abutting portion is a boundary X between the first wall material 41 and the second wall material 42. As shown in FIG. 4, the adhesive 30 adheres to the insertion portion 41a2 of the first wall material 41 and the insertion portion 42a2 of the second wall material 42.

[0030] The adhesive 30 closes the boundary X between the first wall material 41 and the second wall material 42 from the back side. In this way, the adhesive 30 prevents hot and cold water from leaking from the inside of the room to the outside through the boundary X. The adhesive 30 is sandwiched between the frame 20 and the first wall material 41 and the second wall material 42, and seals the boundary X between the first wall material 41 and the second wall material 42 in a watertight manner. In other words, the adhesive 30 adhesively fixes the first wall material 41 and the second wall material 42 to the frame 20, and also functions as a waterproofing agent.

[0031] The fitting member 50 is provided on the frame 20. The fitting member 50 is fitted into the frame 20. The fitting member 50 is provided between the frame 20 and the first wall material 41 and the second wall material 42. The vertical length of the fitting member 50 is shorter than the vertical length of the frame 20. The vertical length of the fitting member 50 is, for example, about several centimeters. The insertion portion 41a2 of the first wall material 41 and the insertion portion 42a2 of the second wall material 42 are fitted into the fitting member 50 at a part in the vertical direction. The fitting member 50 has a pair of engagement portions 51, 52 that engage with the folded-back portions 22, 23 of the frame 20, and a connection portion 53 that connects the pair of engagement portions 51, 52.

[0032] An opening 54 is formed between the pair of engaging portions 51, 52. The insertion portion 41a2 of the first wall material 41 and the insertion portion 42a2 of the second wall material 42 are inserted into this opening 54. The insertion portion 41a2 of the first wall material 41 and the insertion portion 42a2 of the second wall material 42 are sandwiched between the pair of engaging portions 51, 52.

[0033] That is, the insertion portion 41a2 of the first wall material 41 and the insertion portion 42a2 of the second wall material 42 are inserted into the opening 24 of the frame 20 and the opening 54 of the fitting member 50 in the up-down direction. In this case, the width of the opening 54 is smaller than the width of the opening 24 of the frame 20 by the thickness of the engagement portions 51, 52. As a result, the insertion portion 41a2 of the first wall material 41 and the insertion portion 42a2 of the second wall material 42 are sandwiched more strongly by the fitting member 50 than by the frame 20.

[0034] 3, an adhesive 30 is provided between the connection portion 53 and the recess 21 of the frame 20. The fitting member 50 is adhered by the adhesive 30. Note that an adhesive may be provided between the connection portion 53 and the insertion portion 41a2 of the first wall material 41 and between the connection portion 53 and the insertion portion 42a2 of the second wall material 42.

[0035] The fitting member 50 prevents the first wall material 41 and the second wall material 42 from peeling off from the adhesive 30 when the first wall material 41 and the second wall material 42 are assembled on the floor material 10. In this case, the fitting member 50 is preferably provided above the center in the vertical direction of the frame 20. In this example, the fitting member 50 is provided at the upper end of the frame 20.

[0036] As a result, the upper ends of the first wall material 41 and the second wall material 42 are tightly fitted into the fitting member 50. Therefore, the first wall material 41 and the second wall material 42 can stably stand on their own on the floor material 10 even if the adhesive strength of the adhesive 30 is weak. The fitting member 50 may be provided below the center of the frame 20 in the vertical direction. Furthermore, a plurality of fitting members 50 may be provided spaced apart in the vertical direction of the frame 20.

[0037] The cover 60 is formed in a concave shape and covers the outer peripheral surface of the frame 20. In other words, the frame 20 is provided inside the cover 60. The cover 60 is located between the second steel plate 41c of the first wall material 41 and the second steel plate 42c of the second wall material 42. The cover 60 supports the frame 20, for example.

[0038] The wet room unit room 100 according to this embodiment has the configuration described above. Next, the work of assembling the wall material 40 to the floor material 10 in the method of assembling the wet room unit room will be described.

[0039] 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a first step of the method for assembling the bathroom unit room, in which the cover 60 is omitted. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing a second step of the method of assembling the bathroom unit room.

[0040] As shown in Fig. 7, in the first step, the frame 20 is attached to the floor material 10. The installer attaches the frame 20 to the floor material 10 with screws 27 via the mounting parts 25. In this way, the frame 20 is fixed to the floor material 10.

[0041] 8, in the second step, the first wall material 41 and the second wall material 42 are erected on the floor material 10. The installer inserts the lower end of the first wall material 41 into the wall-mounting recess 12 and presses the upper end of the first wall material 41 in the direction of the arrow (toward the frame 20). As a result, the insertion portion 41a2 of the first wall material 41 is inserted into the frame 20 and the fitting member 50, and is adhered to the adhesive 30.

[0042] Next, with the second wall material 42 adjacent to the first wall material 41, the installer inserts the lower end of the second wall material 42 into the wall-mounting recess 12 and presses the upper end of the second wall material 42 in the direction of the arrow (toward the frame 20). As a result, the insertion portion 41a2 of the second wall material 42 is inserted into the frame 20 and the fitting member 50, and is adhered to the adhesive 30. In this case, the insertion portion 41a2 of the first wall material 41 and the insertion portion 42a2 of the second wall material 42 are sandwiched between the folded-back portions 22, 23 of the frame 20 and the engagement portions 51, 52 of the fitting member 50. The adhesive 30 also seals the boundary X between the first wall material 41 and the second wall material 42 in a watertight manner.

[0043] The first wall material 41 and the second wall material 42 are kept in a self-supporting state by the adhesive force of the adhesive 30. In such a case, for example, if a force is applied to the first wall material 41 or the second wall material 42 or if the adhesive force of the adhesive 30 is weak, the first wall material 41 or the second wall material 42 may shift or fall over.

[0044] Therefore, in the bathroom unit room 100, a fitting member 50 that fits the first wall material 41 and the second wall material 42 is provided on the frame 20. The fitting member 50 is provided on the upper end side of the frame 20, for example.

[0045] As a result, the upper ends of the first wall material 41 and the second wall material 42 are clamped with strong force by the fitting member 50. Therefore, even if force is applied to the first wall material 41 or the second wall material 42 or if the adhesive strength of the adhesive 30 is weak, the first wall material 41 and the second wall material 42 are prevented from shifting or falling over. Therefore, the bathroom unit room 100 can be provided with stable assembly precision.

[0046] Moreover, the fitting member 50 is provided on a portion of the frame 20 in the vertical direction. If the fitting member were provided over the entire frame 20 in the vertical direction, the wall material 40 would have to be pressed with a strong force in order to fit the insertion portion 41a2 of the first wall material 41 and the insertion portion 42a2 of the second wall material 42 into the fitting member. In such a case, there is a risk of noise (slapping sound) being generated when the wall material 40 is pressed into the frame 20.

[0047] In this embodiment, since the fitting member 50 is provided only on the upper end side of the frame 20, the insertion portion 41a2 of the first wall material 41 and the insertion portion 42a2 of the second wall material 42 can be inserted into the frame 20 with a weak force. Then, finally, the insertion portion 41a2 of the first wall material 41 and the insertion portion 42a2 of the second wall material 42 can be inserted into the fitting member 50 with a strong force. Therefore, the noise generated when assembling the wall material 40 can be reduced as much as possible.
