Abstract

Flexible base web of a construction covering comprises a main layer extending at least over the greatest part of the thickness of the web and is constituted of a non-woven mineral fiber mat containing predominantly discontinuous mineral fibers. Said mat contains further blend fibers. The mat is manufactured using a dry method by means of an air stream whereby said blend fibers have become blended inside the mat during the dry method forming of the mat. The portion of said blend fibers is greater in the proximity of one of the surfaces of the mat than in the middle due to subsequent needling of the mat.
