Abstract: The present invention concerns a textile support for bituminous membranes, particularly for waterproofing roof surfaces of buildings, characterised by a high dimensional stability. The support comprises at least two layers (1, 2) of non-woven polyester or polymeric material in general and a plurality of longitudinal reinforcing filaments (3). The reinforcing filaments (3), preferably of glass, have been treated in advance with a size which allows the formation of stable chemical bonds, not strongly influenced by temperature.
