Abstract: A breathable decorative layer is laminated onto a multilayer fiber composite, i.e., a breathable material, constituted from many layers of fibers. Between the breathable decorative layer and the breathable material, a substantially unbreathable film or a breathable sheet or film having through holes is interposed. Thus, a decorative multilayer material having high acoustic absorbing capability, processability, lightweightness, rigidity, heat resistance, thermal formability, recyclability, and designability can be provided at low cost. By laminating this decorative multilayer material on a laminated closed-cell foam material, a laminate for interior materials having acoustic absorbing capability can be provided at low cost despite the use of the laminated closed-cell foam material.
