Glass textile fabric

Abstract

Provided is a woven, glass textile fabric comprised of glass sliver in the weft or cross direction and air texturized glass yarn in the machine direction having a titer of from 20 to 80 tex. The resulting fabric is aesthetically pleasing in appearance, strong, yet lightweight. The fabric finds excellent applicability as a wall covering.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A glass textile fabric comprised of a glass sliver in the weft and a 20 to 80 tex, air texturized glass yarn in the machine direction.  
     
     
         2 . The glass textile fabric of  claim 1 , wherein the titer of the air-texturized yarn is from 30 to 50 tex.  
     
     
         3 . The glass textile fabric of  claim 1 , wherein the titer of the air textured yarn is from 60 to 80 tex.
