Rigid composite laminates of paper and glass layers, suitable for use as ouflage, are provided. This combination of components allows for great versatility in the final design and utility. A strong bond is obtained between paper and a fiberglass layer due to formation of a resin-cellulose matrix which allows interbonding between the paper and fibrous glass. The composite laminates may include other coatings or signature control layers and can be used as simple appliques or construction materials. A method for preparing the composite laminates is also provided wherein the paper is treated to enhance porosity in the formation of the resin-cellulose matrix.
