Abstract
Abstract A laminated structure for use in wall construction is disclosed which comprises a rigid support and an integrally self-lined textile material having a front surface and a rear surface and adhesively bonded on its rear surface to the rigid support. The textile material comprises, in one embodiment, (i) a nonwoven spun fibrous batting constituting the rear surface of the textile material and capable of being stitched-through without substantial loss of strength by knitting thread; (ii) a layer of filling disposed upon the batting; (iii) one or more warp elements disposed upon the filling so as to constitute the front surface of the textile material; and (iv) a single system of knitting thread wales, each wale comprising a multiplicity of warpwise looped stitch courses which engage and hold together the batting, filling and warp elements into an integrated unitary textile structure.
