PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide such a joining method and joining apparatus for a laminated glass at a time of manufacturing a laminated glass as enables to realize the cutback in the energy consumption for heating an interlayer and the reduction in the processing time. SOLUTION: The method comprises joining plate glasses 3 and an interlayer 4 by irradiating the raw material 2 for a laminated glass 3 consisting of two sheets of glasses 3 and the polymer resin-made interlayer 4 sandwiched therebetween with a near-infrared ray by means of a halogen heater 6 to thereby heat and melt the interlayer 4, and thereafter pressing the interlayer 4 onto the plate glasses 3 by means of a press means 5 to join the plate glasses 3 and the interlayer 4. The near-infrared ray, which is irradiated most efficiently from the halogen heater 6, has a high permeation through the plate glasses 3 and is absorbed efficiently in the polymer resin used for the interlayer 4 and hence changes to heat; consequently utilizing these features, the suppressing of the increase in the temperature of the glass plates 3 and the preferential heating of the interlayer 4 reduce the heat loss and shorten the time required for the processing.
