An unhardened inorganic board is shaped by press clamping the surface of
an unhardened inorganic mat having a colored surface layer using an
embossing template. A semi-hardened inorganic board is obtained by
performing primary curing of the unhardened inorganic board, and coating
the surface of the semi-hardened inorganic board with a primary sealer.
The semi-hardened inorganic board coated with the primary sealer is
autoclave cured to obtain a hardened inorganic board. The surface of the
hardened inorganic board is coated with a powdery or granular material
fixing sealer and, thereafter, an ornamental powdery or granular material
is dispersed onto the surface of the hardened inorganic board. The
surface of the hardened inorganic board on which the ornamental powdery
or granular material has been dispersed is coated with a finishing
transparent paint.
