  • Patent number: 11549261
    Abstract: [Object] To provide a building material, a stacked body of building materials, and a building-material construction method capable of improving the construction properties while suppressing a design surface from being damaged. [Solution] A building material includes a substantially rectangular plate-shaped building material body 2 that includes a first face 2F and a design surface 3 within the first face 2F; and a protective sheet S1 that is affixed to the building material body 2 in a peelable manner. The design surface 3 includes a covered region C1 that is covered with the protective sheet S1 and thereby protected and an exposed region B1 that is not covered with the protective sheet S1 and that extends along a first design end portion 3D, which is an end portion of the design surface 3.

  • Patent number: 10800139
    Abstract: [Object] To provide a building material capable of solving the problem of peeling-off, turning-up, and displacement of a protective sheet from a coating during storage, transport, and construction and capable of solving the problem of degradation of surface finishing of the coating as a result of the protective sheet being peeled off from a coating surface of the building material. [Solution] A building material 10 includes a base material 1 having a design surface on a surface thereof, a coating 2 that is formed on the design surface and that has a surface having a 60-degree specular gloss of 80 or greater, and a protective sheet 3 affixed to the coating 2 so as to be peelable. The coating 2 has a pencil hardness of HB or higher. The adhesive force between the coating 2 and the protective sheet 3 is 2 to 8 N/20 mm.
