Diablo Flooring,Inc  has 3 locations in Pleasanton,CA - Danville,CA - Walnut Creek,CA

HomerWood manufacturers hand-crafted, premium hardwood in a number of unique styles using hardwood from the Appalachian Mountain region.

Hardwood flooring that is considered sustainable, reclaimed or otherwise green is awfully popular these days. Consumers want their home remodeling and construction products to have the least amount of impact on the earth’s natural resources. And a wonderful way to achieve just that is with sustainable wood flooring.

Our friends at Homer Wood offer just that. Their line of reclaimed hardwood floors are prefinished with a beautiful oil finish that shows off natural wood grain patterns and a rich patina.

From original nail holes and cracks to streaks and splintering, Homer Wood’s reclaimed floors are as authentic as they come. The wood dates back to 1800 in the Appalachian Mountains. Lumber was used to build barns all across Pennsylvania, Ohio and Virginia. Barns that have been abandoned are then inspected and treated to renew the old wood and create this spectacular line of reclaimed wood floors.

Mon, 07 May 2012 12:30:00 -0700 Diablo Flooring,Inc : Carpet Installation - costs, advice, & local pros http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-carpet-installation-costs http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-carpet-installation-costs

The Softer Side of Diablo Flooring,Inc

Carpet Installation

Carpet remains the most popular residential flooring out there and the only true soft flooring material on the market. Of course, it's also one of the more difficult floors to maintain. Particularly, carpet is poor at withstanding the stress of water and mud tracked in from the outside. Thus, the vast majority of homes have some areas of home carpeting and other areas of hard surface flooring. No matter where carpet is being installed in your home, making the right decisions about your new carpet and its installation are imperative to getting a quality, cost-effective carpet installation.

Some of these decisions are pure common sense. If you have a new puppy that isn't 100 percent house-broken, you probably don't want to spend an extra thousand dollars for a higher quality carpet that will still be ruined in a few years. On the other hand, in general, trying to skimp on your carpet installation tends to be a costly mistake in the long run.

Options for your San Francisco Bay Area Carpet Installation: Fibers and Pads
Besides different quality standards among manufacturers, you'll need to make some basic choices about your carpet installation, most notably fibers and pads. Natural carpet fibers such as wool tend to shed, but they will also retain their color and be easier to clean. Synthetic fibers vary in their imitation of these high-quality natural fibers. Most, however, will last longer than natural fibers, despite their degrading appearance. Because synthetic fibers don't shed, they also retain the grime that clings to carpet fibers. This means more frequent carpet cleaning.

You'll also need a carpet pad to protect the integrity and lifespan of your carpet. Basic carpet pads will help keep your carpet fibers together. Higher-end carpet pads will also make your carpet feel softer and more forgiving. Some carpet companies will tell you the thicker the carpet pad, the better. The truth is, the density of a carpet pad is a much better indicator of the overall quality of the pad.

Thu, 03 May 2012 16:03:00 -0700 Diablo Flooring,Inc : Pleasanton,CA - Danville,CA - Walnut Creek,CA : Carpet Buying Checklist : http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-pleasantonca-danvilleca-wa-71294 http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-pleasantonca-danvilleca-wa-71294

Before rushing to the nearest carpet retailer to purchase flooring for your home, it is important to take time to consider which kind of carpet is best for your home and room situation. There are several different things to consider, including: style, color, carpet fiber, the size of the room, the anticipated traffic, lighting, and more. Taking time to ask yourself these questions and considering the answers will make it easier to purchase the right carpet.

Selecting the Right Carpet for Your Home

 

These questions are designed to help you think about the available options and how to narrow them down to choose the carpet that will work best for your home.

What style, color, and type of carpet fiber do you prefer?

 

Your preference should be the first thing you consider, because depending on the answers to the following questions, the first thing you like may not be the best choice. Choose a few favorites to work with as you narrow your options down. Considering style, color, and carpet fiber type will also help you determine what feasibly fits within your budget.

 

What kind of cushioning will you need?

 

Carpet cushion plays a role in comfort when the carpet is walked on. Cushion and padding is important, because it also helps keep the life in carpet and provides a certain level of stain protection. Purchasing optimal padding will make a great impact on how well the carpet looks and feels in your home.

 

How will the room be used?

 

If the room is going to be a center hub for activity in the home, more use will likely mean more maintenance, especially if a light color is selected. Using a loop pile option will help the carpet stand up to more activity.

 

Will the room be heavily trafficked?

 

Heavily trafficked rooms will naturally be subject to more dirt and dust, so lightly colored carpets are not the best choice. If the room is not used often, a lighter color may be a good option because it won’t require as much work to maintain.

 

Does the room have direct access to the outdoors?

 

Rooms with direct access to the outdoors will be subject to additional dirt and grime tracked in. Darker colors will do a better job at hiding the dirt. A loop pile option will provide a bit more strength, allowing the carpet to last longer. Using different styles and light colors may make the carpet harder to keep clean and presentable, and may cut its lifetime.

 

Are there indoor pets in the home?

 

Pets will add wear and tear on the carpet, so it is ideal to choose a cut pile carpet because they are easier to maintain. It is a good idea to select a carpet with a solution dyed fiber in case the pets have accidents in the home.

 

Are there stairs in the home?

 

If there are stairs in the home, carpeting them may lead to cleaning and maintenance hassles later on. Consider how often the stair case is used, and what it looks like without the carpet. If the stairs are wooden, why hide the natural beauty of the wood? Consider using a small piece of carpet on each stair rather than completely carpeting every stair.

 

What is the size of the room?

 

The color of the carpet will create an illusion about the size of the room. For larger rooms, a darker color carpet will help the room by giving it a “warmer” feel. If the room is small and you want to open it up and make it appear larger, a lighter carpet is the way to go.

 

What is the lighting in the room like?

 

Consider whether you will be using natural light in the room, or rely on the use of electricity to produce light. The natural light will allow more of the carpet’s true color to show. In rooms where there is a lack of natural lighting, it may be necessary to use a lighter shade of the color you want, because the carpet will look darker than it really is. When selecting a color, consider warmer colors will help give the room more energy, while cooler colors will invoke a sense of calm.

If you have a small room with direct access to the outdoors, you may find you need the light color to enlarge the room, and the dark color to hide dirt. You could either: use a light color with a door mat and require no shoes in the house, use a dark color and deal with the room looking small, or you could use a medium color to get the benefits of both. While the answers to these questions may not give you a foolproof answer to which carpet to choose, you will be better armed with knowledge when you make the purchase.

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 10:23:00 -0700 Diablo Flooring,Inc : Six Tips for Picking out a new area rug ( Shaw : Masland : Fabrica ) http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-six-tips-for-picking-out-a http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-six-tips-for-picking-out-a

Rugs are really affordable décor enhancers for any living or work space. After a year of your first decoration, rooms need a little change and most of the time; little changes make a big difference. Rugs can definitely brighten up a room and give a whole new look for the new season. With so many rug choices out there, finding one that works best for you and looks great against the room can be pretty brain-wrecking.

Here are some tips to help you decide what area rugs goes best for your home:

Choosing the Location

When buying a area rug, one thing to know is where you would want to place it. This also needs to take into account the amount of traffic that will use the room and the spot where you’d want your rug to be on. For areas with high-traffic, an idea rug should be of high quality and durable. Style and taste isn’t a high priority compared to the quality unless of course that are is low in traffic. Rugs for high traffic areas need to be of good quality as it will experience more wear and tear.

Deciding on a Focal Point

You would also need to decide if the area rug is going to be the focal point of the room. If it is, then choose a rug with a design or pattern that screams attention. Rugs with plain colors or simple designs are better suited for areas where you’d like it to be in the background and if there is a furniture item that you’d rather focus on.

Pets & Children
Pets and children are other considerations to take into account. Pets have fur and most of them prefer to make the rugs their home, which can cause serious damage to your rug, especially if it’s expensive. If the rug is in high-traffic area and where kids and children are normally around, better to get a stain resistant rug. Most stores now offer rugs with stain resistant components apart from looking chic and stylish.
Deciding on your budget

Before you begin the process of shopping for your rug, you would need to determine how much you are willing to spend on the rug. All the items mentioned above will help you into determining your budget. You definitely do not want to overspend on an area rug especially when they come in a variety of prices. An area rug can start from as low as fifty dollars and can go up to a few thousands of dollars depending on the quality. If you are on a tighter budget, synthetic rugs are a good option. Synthetic rugs normally have fibers that are punched.

Decorating with a rug

When deciding on the size of the rug, always leave space between the rug and the walls. You do not want an area rug that pokes into the walls of the room. There should be a comfortable space between rug and wall. Some of the popular places to place a rug are under the dining table.

Area rugs that are used for the dining table usually measure up to 4 to 5 inches from out the table on every side. You will definitely have even borders around the walls in the room and even have enough space for the chairs. Seating comfortably at the dining table while looking chic will definitely increase your appetite.

If you know what to look for and know what you want, area rugs are beautiful season updates for your home.

Thu, 16 Jun 2011 08:17:00 -0700 Diablo Flooring,Inc : How to keep Your Carpet Looking Great All Year Long ! http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-how-to-keep-your-carpet-lo http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-how-to-keep-your-carpet-lo

Taking care of your carpet is extremely important if you want it to maintain its look, and feel. There are two things that make you carpet look bad. First is general wear and tear. The second is dirt, grime, food stains, etc. If you want your carpets to look great it is important to avoid both of these carpet destroyers.

To control wear and tear remember less use means longer life. How can you use your carpet less? Place rugs in high traffic areas before, they have traffic lanes. Runner rugs can save the hallway, which inevitably gets the most wear. Remove your shoes your shoes are much more abrasive than slipper or socks. Which will wear your carpet out. Shoes also often carry dirt and debris that get tracked onto the carpet. Dirt and sand will act as sand paper and wear down the carpet fibers. Leave your shoes at the door and you carpet will thank you. Vacuum, this is extremely important. When you get your carpets cleaned make sure the home has been vacuumed because it gets up about 70% of the dirt and grime. Vacuum often before the dirt can sink deep into the carpet. When you vacuum it will slow the wear because the carpet fibers are not being ground by dirt and sand.

As mentioned before taking off your shoes will cut down on the amount of dirt and other grime transferred to your carpet. Place rugs where the carpet meets hard surfaces such as tile, linoleum and hard wood floors. I have watched my kids walk though the kitchen step in some milk and continue on into the living room drying their feet on the carpet. For stains, clean it up immediately; don’t wait for it to set. As soon as you see the spill or stain, first dab up what you can with a dry rag. Then get a damp rag and clean up the stain. Then dab up the stain with a dry rag, repeat until the stain has been removed. An alternate is to use a wet dry vac and some warm water to clean up the stain. If the stain is blood or a protein type stain, use cold water instead of warm water.

The carpet cleaner should come about every six months; depending on the vigilance and upkeep you give your home.It always amazes me how much dirt grime and goop is trapped in carpet. Carpet cleaners have special formulas and chemicals to leave you carpet clean.

So keep your carpet looking great all year long !

Fri, 03 Jun 2011 21:41:00 -0700 Diablo Flooring sells the world's finest hardwood floors. Mirage Hardwood http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooring-sells-the-worlds-finest-hardw http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooring-sells-the-worlds-finest-hardw

Mirage hardwood flooring is alot more than just good looks.....................

There are several prefinished hardwood floors on the market that may look alike but, in terms of quality and performance, they can be quite different. The Performance of MIRAGE floors are the result of the care given in the drying process, the manufacturing of the strips and the finishing of their surface. Investing in the most sophisticated technology available in the world, and using experienced employees in the manufacturing of hardwood flooring, BOA-FRANC™. has established new QUALITY standards with both its MIRAGE Classic Floor and its new Mirage Engineered flooring for over radient heating and on concrete slab installation.

Mirage Classic Hardwood Flooring:

 

  • Solid 3/4" Wood- 2", 2 1/4", 2 1/2", 3 1/4" & 4 1/4"
  • Great for above ground nail down applications.


MIRAGE Classic is made in 153 standard choices, 8 different hardwood species (oak, maple, cherry, ash, birch, beech, walnut, Brazilian Cherry and tigerwood), 5 widths, 3 grades, 14 colors and 2 types of finish (semi gloss & satin)

Mirage Engineered Wood Flooring:
3/8" x  2 9/16" & 3 5/16"   & new wide plank 1/2" x 5"

Boa Franc has specially designed this Mirage hardwood flooring for glue down applications over concrete and/or radient heat. ... and where you'd like to install a wide plank hardwood floor but need something with greater dimension stability then what a traditional solid wood floor can offer.

 

MIRAGE HARDWOOD FLOORING: Manufacturing Benefits

Drying of the Wood:
The MIRAGE factory operates on site, all the kilns to dry the lumber to exacting standards necessary to produce their flooring, thus controls everything from log to finished product. Before it is made into flooring, every board is then tested for the correct moisture content! This avoids cracks showing up afterwards, when unusually wet boards decide to finish drying in your house. All warehouses and production facilities are humidity controled to maintain the correct moisture content in the flooring while waitng to be delivered to your job site.

Milling the perfect tongue & groove:

The strips are always manufactured perfectly straight, with a constant thickness and width offering you a perfect tongue and groove fit. These high manufacturing standards and quality control assure an easy and worry-free installation and you save on installation time. Wastage is virtually eliminated.

Sanding that brings out the beauty of the wood:
All flooring is premounted into panels for table top style sanding. This offers superior sanding accuracy with the smallest and most uniform MICRO-V joints in the industry. Each board then becomes the exact same thickness as its partner, laying a floor that feels good on your feet.

Staining to highlight the diverse grain patterns:
Stains are applied uniformly across the wood, as well as in the MICRO-V joints, to bring out the beauty of the grain in each native and exotic wood species.

Each colour is tested with a digital camera, to guarantee the accuracy of colour match with the previous batch of flooring. This is a great advantage, when you want to install some flooring today, and continue the job further down the road. MIRAGE guarantees the accuracy of colour from batch to batch, thus it is not necessary to get all your flooring from the same "dye lot".

The Finish, for maximun durability:
An aluminium oxide compound is suspended in an ultraviolet cured polyurethane, for amazing protection and more abrasion resistance to wear then the historical polyurethanes. Ten coats of this finish are applied to every strip of flooring. The finish is sanded, buffed and UV cured for maximum adhesion to the wood and long lasting durability. The finish is tested for adhesion, thickness and shine level, guaranting you the same quality and shine on every batch. This is supported by a residential 25 year finish warranty.

Today they have gone one step further and become the first hardwood flooring manufacturer to use nano-technology in their floor finish... this is well beyond my technical knowledge to comprehend, but what I do know is that it eliminates much of the shatter crack lines typical when something is dropped on the surface. Again offering great durability!

Mon, 16 May 2011 17:20:00 -0700 Diablo Flooring,Inc (925) 988-WOOD What You Should Know Before You Buy Carpet http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-925-988-wood-what-you-shou http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-925-988-wood-what-you-shou

What You Should Know Before You Buy Carpet

You’ve decided on new carpet, but you want to shop smart. You already know how carpet is made and the difference between carpet styles, but what else is there to know before you buy? Lots.

Here are some tips to give you the upper hand on what will soon be underfoot!

Seams

Unless your room is narrower than 15 feet, you’re going to have seams. Most carpet comes in widths of 12 feet and 15 feet — and on occasion, 13 feet. The degree of visibility of your seams depends on the texture and color you choose, as well as the lighting and furniture placement in your room.

Bending

When you carpet your stairs, its backing may show on the bends. And if it’s a looped carpet, it can snag — especially at the seams or transitions. Check our Carpet Care section for information on how to properly care for looped carpet.

Nap

A carpet’s nap runs in a single direction, making pile reversal or the shading you see from a vacuum trail, completely normal for most cut pile styles. If you’re not a fan, window treatments and furniture placement can minimize the effect.

Quality

Let’s face it. You get what you pay for. If you want your carpet to have a great pile density and tighter twist construction (which leads to improved durability), then you’re going to want to go with a higher quality (and more expensive) product. New carpet adds value to any home, so it’s an investment worth making.

Color

Carpet covers a large part of any room, so it’s vital that you consider some basic rules when selecting its color. First off, know that once your carpet is installed, it’s going to look lighter in color than the sample you saw in the store. Don’t ask us why, that’s just the way it is — kinda like losing a sock in the dryer.

Next, recognize that color can affect the apparent size of a room. Call it a visual illusion or a trick of the light, but lighter carpet makes a room look larger and darker colors make a room look smaller and more intimate.

If you like to redecorate often or plan to move soon, go neutral. It’s much easier to imagine furniture in a room that is decorated with neutral colors.

Stains

It’s going to happen, no matter how long you hold out from sipping wine or munching on chips and salsa in your freshly carpeted room. Stain protection is an important consideration when buying carpet. Products come with various levels of protection and warranties. As the quality of a carpet increases, so does its stain protection level and warranty coverage.

Padding/Cushion

Padding or cushion is the layer of spongy material between carpet and floor. It’s the padding — not the carpet — that determines whether the carpet feels good or great under your feet.

A quality padding can help preserve a carpet’s look and can extend its life and comfort by providing tougher protection against wear and tear.

Padding is sold using quality specifications, not color specifications. The color of the sample you see in the store may not be the same color as what’s installed in your home. But as long as it feels good, who cares?!

Warranty

It’s a good idea to read the product specs and warranty coverage on the back labels of your carpet prior to purchasing. Doing so will give you the information you need to protect your investment — and eliminate any surprises down the road.
