[0036] The outdoor side left - right direction extending plate part 332 is formed in a plate - like shape that extends outward in the left - right direction from the middle of the indoor - outdoor direction of the left - right outer engaging protrusion 333 among the pair of engaging protrusions 333. The outdoor side left - right direction extending plate part 332 is arranged at the end of the outdoor side X1 of the attachment vertical frame 33 and extends in the left - right direction (the finding direction). An attachment plate part 81 (described later) of the outdoor side side part decorative cover 8 is fixed to the outdoor side left - right direction extending plate part 332 by screws 83.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 9, the vertical decorative cover 53 has a finding - direction extending plate 531 (finding - direction extending part), a pair of engaging protrusions 532, and a protruding piece 533.

[0038] The finding - direction extending plate 531 has a width in the left - right direction and is formed in a plate - like shape that extends in a long - strip shape along the longitudinal direction of the attachment vertical frame 33. The finding - direction extending plate 531 is arranged to cover the surface of the outdoor side X1 of the attachment vertical frame 33. The finding - direction extending plate 531 is arranged on the outdoor side X1 of the outdoor side left - right direction extending plate part 332 of the attachment vertical frame 33 so as to cover the outdoor side left - right direction extending plate part 332. The finding - direction extending plate 531 has a surface facing the outdoor side X1.

[0039] A pair of engaging protrusions 532 are arranged apart from each other left and right on the side where the shoji 10 is arranged in the left - right direction of the finding - direction extending plate 531, and protrude from the surface of the indoor side X2 of the finding - direction extending plate 531 to the indoor side X2. A pair of engaging protrusions 333 of the attachment vertical frame 33 are engaged and attached to the pair of engaging protrusions 532.

[0040] The protruding piece 533 protrudes from the end on the side opposite to the side where the shoji 10 is arranged in the left - right direction of the finding - direction extending plate 531 to the indoor side X2.

[0041] Next, the configuration of the outdoor side portion decorative cover 8 attached to the attachment vertical frame 33 will be described. The outdoor side portion decorative cover 8 is composed of general-purpose parts instead of dedicated parts of the remodeling fitting 1 so as to be applicable to various sites. As general-purpose parts, a plurality of types of parts with various shapes are prepared in advance as parts for covering gaps or members caused by various on-site circumstances.

[0042] In the present embodiment, the outdoor side portion decorative cover 8 is selected from a plurality of types of general-purpose parts prepared in advance and has an L-shaped cross-sectional shape. The outdoor side portion decorative cover 8 has a mounting plate portion 81 (mounting portion) and a shielding plate portion 82 (extending portion in the prospective direction).

[0043] The mounting plate portion 81 is formed in a plate shape, has a width in the left-right direction, and extends in the up-down direction. The mounting plate portion 81 is fixed to the outdoor side left-right direction extending plate portion 332 of the attachment vertical frame 33 by screws 83. In a state where the mounting plate portion 81 is fixed to the outdoor side left-right direction extending plate portion 332 by the screws 83, all of the outdoor side X1 of the mounting plate portion 81 and the screws 83 that fix the mounting plate portion 81 of the outdoor side portion decorative cover 8 are covered by the vertical decorative cover 53. By covering the outdoor side X1 of the outdoor side portion decorative cover 8 with the vertical decorative cover 53, no reduction in design property due to attaching the outdoor side portion decorative cover 8 occurs.

[0044] The shielding plate portion 82 extends from the outer end portion in the left-right direction of the mounting plate portion 81 toward the indoor side X2. The shielding plate portion 82 is arranged to cover the side portions of the existing vertical frame 63 and the attachment vertical frame 33 so that the existing vertical frame 63 and the attachment vertical frame 33 are not visually recognized from the outside and the side. The shielding plate portion 82 is formed in a plate shape, has a width in the indoor-outdoor direction (prospective direction), and extends in the up-down direction. The shielding plate portion 82 extends from the building 100 to the outdoor side front decorative cover 53 in the indoor-outdoor direction.

[0045] The procedure for attaching the outdoor side cosmetic cover 8 and the vertical cosmetic cover 53 to the attachment vertical frame 33 will be described. First, according to various sites, the outdoor side cosmetic cover 8 is selected from a plurality of types of general-purpose parts prepared in advance so as to correspond to the wall thickness and the like.

[0046] Then, using the selected outdoor side cosmetic cover 8 of the general-purpose parts, at the site, the attachment plate portion 81 of the outdoor side cosmetic cover 8 is fixed to the outdoor side left-right direction extending plate portion 332 of the attachment vertical frame 33 with screws 83. As a result, the shielding plate portion 82 of the outdoor side cosmetic cover 8 can cover the side portions of the existing vertical frame 63 and the attachment vertical frame 33 so as not to be visually recognized from the side from the outside in the left-right direction of the existing vertical frame 63 and the attachment vertical frame 33.

[0047] Next, the vertical cosmetic cover 53 is attached to the attachment vertical frame 33 by engaging a pair of engaging protrusions 532 of the vertical cosmetic cover 53 with a pair of engaging protrusions 333 of the attachment vertical frame 33. As a result, the vertical cosmetic cover 53 can cover the outdoor side X1 surface of the attachment vertical frame 33, the attachment plate portion 81 of the outdoor side cosmetic cover 8 disposed on the outdoor side X1 surface of the attachment vertical frame 33, and the screw 83 that fixes the attachment plate portion 81 of the outdoor side cosmetic cover 8 so as not to be exposed to the outdoor side X1. By covering the outdoor side X1 of the outdoor side cosmetic cover 8 with the vertical cosmetic cover 53, the design property is not deteriorated due to the attachment of the outdoor side cosmetic cover 8.
