[0035] FIG. 1 schematically shows in FIG. 1a) a view of a first exemplary embodiment of an inventive carrier material in the form of a web material with a strip-shaped longitudinal graining structure and in FIG. 1b) multiple carrier material webs, which are arranged adjacent to one another on a (hatched) spackle layer,

[0036] FIG. 2 schematically shows in FIG. 2a) a view of a second exemplary embodiment of an inventive carrier material in the form of a web material with an essentially chequered graining structure and in FIG. 2b) multiple carrier material webs, which are arranged adjacent to one another on a (hatched) spackle layer,

[0037] FIG. 3 schematically shows in FIG. 3a) a view of a third exemplary embodiment of an inventive carrier material in the form of a web material with a strip-shaped transverse graining structure and in FIG. 3b) multiple carrier material webs, which are arranged adjacent to one another on a building surface with window openings, and

[0038] FIG. 4 schematically shows in FIG. 4a) a view of a fourth exemplary embodiment of an inventive carrier material in the form of a web material with a graining structure over its entire surface and in FIG. 4b) multiple carrier material webs, which are arranged adjacent to one another on a on a (hatched) spackle layer.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0039] FIG. 1 shows in FIG. 1a) a view of a first exemplary embodiment of an inventive carrier material in the form of a web material with a strip-shaped longitudinal graining structure.

[0040] In this first exemplary embodiment, a carrier material web 1 comprises longitudinal strip-shaped sections 2 with a graining that is indicated in a dotted manner. In addition, the carrier material strip 1 also comprises strip-shaped sections 3 without graining.

[0041] For example, the carrier material may also be delivered in the form of material sheets rather than a web material.

[0042] In FIG. 1b), multiple carrier material strips 1 according to FIG. 1a) are arranged adjacent to one another on a (hatched) spackle layer 4.

[0043] FIG. 2 shows in FIG. 2a) a view of a second exemplary embodiment of an inventive carrier material in the form of a web material with an essentially chequered graining structure.

[0044] In this second exemplary embodiment, the carrier material web 1 comprises sections 5 with a graining and sections 6 without graining.

[0045] FIG. 2b) once again shows multiple carrier material strips 1, in this case according to FIG. 2a), which are arranged adjacent to one another on a (hatched) spackle layer 4. Since the graining should form the surface structure of the spackle layer 4, the graining in this case also slightly protrudes from the spackle layer 4 just as in FIG. 1b). However, the spackle layer 4 is provided in all regions and therefore illustrated everywhere in the form of a hatching (as in all other exemplary embodiments).

[0046] FIG. 3 shows in FIG. 3a) a view of a third exemplary embodiment of an inventive carrier material in the form of a web material with a strip-shaped transverse graining structure.

[0047] In contrast to the first exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1a), transverse strip-shaped sections 7 with a graining and transverse strip-shaped sections 8 without graining are provided in FIG. 3a).

[0048] FIG. 3b) shows multiple carrier material strips 1 according to FIG. 3a), which are arranged adjacent to one another on a building wall. A spackle layer 4, in which the carrier material webs 1 are embedded, is also provided in this case and illustrated in the form of a hatching. Alternatively, an adhesive could also be used in all embodiments. Furthermore, exemplary window openings 9 in the building wall are indicated in this figure and incorporated into the inventive building surface design.

[0049] FIG. 4 shows in FIG. 4a) a view of a fourth exemplary embodiment of an inventive carrier material in the form of a web material with a graining structure over its entire surface (10).

[0050] FIG. 4b) again shows multiple carrier material webs, which are arranged adjacent to one another on a on a (hatched) spackle layer (4). This is the most simple way of using the here claimed invention resulting in a surface structure over the entire surface of the building surface where the invention was applied.
