The present invention provides a composite backing suitable for use in the manufacturing of carpeting, particularly tufted synthetic turf carpeting, or any other fabric product where dimensional stability in the presence of thermal or moisture gradients is desirable. The composite backing comprises reinforcement strands integrated into a woven backing fabric. The reinforcement strands may be laid in an open network structure needlepunched into a woven backing or may also be integrated into the woven backing by directly weaving the reinforcement strands into the woven backing as it is being fabricated. A synthetic turf product may be constructed by tufting the composite backing. |
