According to the reinforcing structure, a thick portion that is bent and overlapped is formed at an end,
Although a reinforcing effect is obtained by this, when the interior material is relatively large such as a ceiling material, the rigidity of the end portion becomes insufficient. Therefore, when used as a ceiling material, it is necessary to take measures such as partially increasing the weight per unit area of the base material, the so-called base weight of the base material, or adding a reinforcing material such as an iron plate to the end. . In addition, when the ceiling material has an opening for the sunroof, the hanging of the opening cannot be prevented only by providing the reinforcing structure according to the proposal on the periphery of the opening. Therefore, it is necessary to separately attach a hook-and-loop fastener or the like, thereby suppressing drooping.
