A process for preparing a complex sheet including a layer of drylaid glass fibers and a layer of organic fibers. The process includes mechanical needling or fluid entanglement, e.g. hydroentanglement, of a nonwoven fabric of continuous organic fibers and of a veil of non-preconsolidated continuous glass fibers, the nonwoven fabric of organic fibers and the veil of glass fibers being juxtaposed and needles being sent from the same side as the nonwoven fabric of organic fibers, to make a sheet, and then application of a binder to the bilayer. The so obtained complex fibrous structure shows a low tendency to delaminate and can be impregnated with asphalt or bitumen, and can be used in the field of roofing, sealing covering, or membranes.

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for preparing a complex sheet consisting of a principal layer of drylaid glass fibers, a principal layer of organic fibers, and optionally an intermediate layer of yarns or a grid placed between the two principal layers or within one or both principal layers,

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for preparing a complex sheet consisting of a principal layer of drylaid glass fibers, a principal layer of organic fibers, and optionally an intermediate layer of yarns or a grid placed between the two principal layers or within one or both principal layers, the process comprising: mechanical needling with a number of penetrations per cm2 less than 75 stitches/cm2, of a nonwoven fabric of continuous organic fibers and of a veil of non-preconsolidated continuous glass fibers, the nonwoven fabric of organic fibers and the veil of glass fibers being juxtaposed and needles being sent from the same side as the nonwoven fabric of organic fibers, to make a sheet; and application of a binder to the sheet. 2. A process according to claim 1, wherein the number of penetrations per cm2 is less than 50 stitches/cm2. 3. A process according to claim 1, wherein the number of penetrations per cm2 is higher than 15 stitches/cm2. 4. A process according to claim 1, wherein the mechanical needling is applied by barbed needles crossing the juxtaposed layers, wherein the needles are moving in the direction of the structure during the time that they are in the structure. 5. A process according to claim 1, wherein an intermediate layer made up of yarns or a grid is placed between the layer of glass fibers and the layer of organic fibers, or is included in one or both of these layers. 6. A process according to claim 5, wherein the intermediate layer is made of polyester or glass fibers. 7. A process according to claim 5, wherein a binder is applied by application of a binder precursor followed by a heat treatment. 8. A process according to claim 1, wherein the nonwoven fabric of organic fibers is not preconsolidated before juxtaposition with the glass-fiber veil. 9. A process according to claim 1, wherein the complex sheet has a mass per unit area ranging from 63 to 840 g/m2. 10. A process according to claim 9, wherein the complex sheet has a mass per unit area ranging from 115 to 550 g/m2. 11. A process according to claim 1, wherein the complex sheet contains: from 20 to 150 g/m2 of glass fibers; from 40 to 500 g/m2 of organic fibers; from 3 to 190 g/m2 of binder. 12. A process according to claim 1, wherein a production rate is at least 10 m/min. 13. A process for preparing a complex sheet consisting of a principal layer of drylaid glass fibers, a principal layer of organic fibers, and optionally an intermediate layer placed between the two principal layers or within one or both principal layers, the process, comprising: mechanical needling with a number of penetrations per cm2 less than 75 stitches/cm2, of a nonwoven fabric of continuous organic fibers and of a veil of non-preconsolidated continuous glass fibers, the nonwoven fabric of organic fibers and the veil of glass fibers being juxtaposed and needles being sent from the same side as the nonwoven fabric of organic fibers, to make a sheet; and application of a binder to the sheet.
