Disclosed is a textile sliding surface with a functional layer (1) and a base layer (2), which are connected to each other by filament yarns. The functional layer (1) is formed of pile loops, whereby the height of the pile loops in the functional layer (1) has a height (4), depending on the sport, in the range 4-1 4 mm and the functional layer (1) has 400-2400 pile loops per dm.sup.2. The yarns are bound into the base layer (2) in the lower part of the pile loops by W-bonds (10).

A method for weaving pile fabrics with pile-free zones, in which, on a weaving loom, in successive series of at least two successive weft insertion cycles in each case at least one ground weft thread (1) and at least two effect weft threads (2),(3) having mutually different appearance-determining properties are inserted at well-defined weft-insertion levels, in which the effect weft threads (2),(3) in each series are inserted in successive weft insertion cycles, and in which, in order to create a predetermined effect in at least one pile-free zone, the warp threads (4-7); (12-22); (101-104) are positioned with respect to the weft insertion levels such that at least one effect weft thread (2),(3) runs on the pile side substantially uncovered.

An artificial turf mat includes a backing and a number of protruding artificial grass blades divided into rows and connected thereto. The mutual distance between successive blades in a row is substantially equal to the distance between adjacent rows and amounts to at least 10 mm. Such an artificial turf mat can be used to form artificial turf fields, for example, on which sports, and in particular ball sports, are played.

Disclosed is a woven product adapted to be used as a primary backing layer for a surface, ground or floor covering comprising artificial or synthetic grass or turf. The woven product comprises at least a first woven layer and a second woven layer, wherein the first and second woven layers are interwoven, the first woven layer comprises a plurality of warp tapes/threads and a plurality of weft tapes/threads, the warp tapes/threads and the weft tapes/threads of the first woven layer being substantially perpendicular to one another. The second woven layer comprises a plurality of warp tapes/threads and a plurality of weft tapes/threads, the warp tapes/threads and the weft tapes/threads of the second woven layer being substantially perpendicular to one another.
