Textile fibres can be bonded to the respective carrier layer via the so-called "laminating" process. Dispersion lamination is used for warp threads, fabric lamination for fabrics.
Dispersion lamination for warp threads
The carrier layer is coated with a dispersion glue to ensure strong adhesion. The adhesive is often dyed and matches the background colour of the wallpaper. Textile fibres or yarns can then be applied to the thin adhesive layer in a longitudinal direction. The lamination is permeable to air and prevents mould growth on the wall.
Fabric lamination for textiles
The threads of woven fabrics run lengthwise and crosswise (warp and weft), which makes the surface structure denser. Woven fabrics are also bonded to the carrier material by a thin layer of dispersion adhesive. Depending on the type of fabric applied or the manufacturing process, seams may become visible, but this is in no way to be considered a quality defect.
