[0044] In shoji screen 100A, the second coating layer 3 conceals the color of the adhesive layer 4. The first coating layer 2 is a layer coated with organic paint, which allows for a wide range of colors to be achieved. Since the first coating layer 2, with its diverse colors, is visible through the glass panel 1, the aesthetic appeal can be enhanced.
[0045] The first coating layer 2 contains multiple types of organic paints. Because the first coating layer 2 allows for delicate and complex colors, it can further enhance the aesthetic appeal.
[0046] The second coating layer 3 contains a colored organic paint. This effectively conceals the color of the adhesive layer 4.
[0047] Preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described above with reference to the attached drawings, but it goes without saying that this disclosure is not limited to these examples. The shapes and combinations of the components shown in the above examples are just examples and can be modified in various ways based on design requirements, etc., without departing from the spirit of this disclosure.
[0048] In the embodiments described above, the glass body 100 of an entrance door was used as an example, but the invention is not limited to this. The glass body 100 can be applied to other types of joinery, such as sliding windows, casement windows, side-sliding windows, back doors, and fixed windows.
[0049] In the embodiments described above, the organic paint of the first coating layer 2 contains multiple types of organic paints, but is not limited to this. The organic paint of the first coating layer 2 may contain only one type. In this case, the paint mixture does not take time and can be manufactured easily.
[0050] In the embodiment described above, the first coating layer 2 is a single layer, but it is not limited to this. The first coating layer 2 may consist of multiple layers.
[0051] If the glass panel is double-glazed, the first coating layer 2, the second coating layer 3, the adhesive layer 4, and the main body of the joinery 5 should be applied sequentially to the surface 1c of the glass panel 1 located on the innermost side Y2. [Explanation of Symbols]
