Travertine

The quality of carpet is judged by its density is this true or false?
True.
carpets quality is judged by its density
Weight: The number of fibers in a carpet.
The more fibers, the heavier the weight, and the better the carpet quality. Density: The number of fibers in a pile. The more fibers, the denser the pile, and the higher the carpet quality.
Carpet density refers to how close together fibers are stitched into the carpet backing. Higher density values generally indicate more durable carpets
Which carpet fiber is considered inherently fire resistant?
Wool
Wool carpets are naturally flame retardant because of its high protein content. If ignited, wool only burns weakly, limiting the spread of the flame.
