A glass fiber wall covering is made by sequential application of aqueous dispersion and an image coating to selectively create an image for painted effects. The image pattern is based on a spatial expansion of second image coating upon heating during the drying process.

Volumetric effect glass fiber wallcoverings

An improved strippable glass fiber wall covering and process for its formation are provided. Initially, both sides of a glass fiber fabric are coated with a first coating applied from an aqueous dispersion of starch binder and polymeric latex binder. In a preferred embodiment a cross-linking agent and pigment also are present in the first aqueous dispersion. Following the drying of such dispersion to form a first coating on both surfaces, a second dried coating is provided on one side only that serves as a separation layer. The second coating is applied from an aqueous dispersion comprising paraffin and a rheology modifier. When applied to the wall in conventional manner, the separation layer facilitates the removal of the wall covering with ease when its time of usefulness is concluded.
