Abstract
A building material for use in forming exterior surface coverings. According to a preferred embodiment, the building material consists of the combination of a paper material, bonding agent, and water. The building material can either be formed directly upon a substrate, such as a wall or ceiling, or otherwise formed as a sheet of material or molding that can thereafter be affixed to a given surface or substrate. The building materials can be customized to have a specific type of color, shape and texture, and can further be utilized in a wide variety of building applications.
Claims13
A process for forming a building material for application to a substrate consisting of the steps:
- a) selecting a first paper material;
- b) combining said paper material in step a) exclusively with water to form a first pH-neutral admixture;
- c) blending said first admixture produced in step b);
- d) straining said blended admixture produced in step c);
- e) combining said strained admixture produced in step d) with a bonding agent to form a second admixture;
- f) mixing said second admixture in step e) to form a mash;
- g) providing a substrate selected from the group consisting of plywood, hardboard and drywall and applying said combined mash produced in step f) to said substrate;
- h) sculpting said combined mash applied to said substrate in step g);
- and
- i) drying said mash sculpted upon said substrate in step h) to create at least one raised pattern consisting essentially of said paper material in step (a) and said bonding agent in step (e).
