 Masland Carpet & Area Rugs

Find your own private paradise in the heavenly comfort of Shangri-La. A deep and densely textured cut pile, Shangri-La reflects a lifestyle of casual elegance, with rooms that speak the language of luxury. Made of 100% STAINMASTER® Luxerell™ BCF nylon, a fiber known for resilience and enduring beauty, Shangri -La is available in 25 colors. Shangri-La can be finished as an area rug.

Is your family room the kind of space where children – and even adults – spend as much time on the floor as on the furniture? If so, how about choosing an area rug that is as much for comfort as style?

Whether you have wood, tile or carpeting, an area rug can warm up a floor and make perching there to watch TV or play a game extra cozy and appealing. Whether your home features a modern or traditional style, you can make your floor a comfy place.

Start with a good rug pad. This is particularly important on tile and wood. Pads are made to go over specific kinds of flooring, so make sure you select the right one. Choose the thickest and best quality pad you can afford. A good pad will make any rug feel softer and better.

When you rug shop, make sure you take the time to touch the rug and run your hand over it. That’s a good basic test of comfort. Watch out for wool rugs if any members of your family have a wool allergy. Even the softest rug can seem scratchy if you’re allergic to it.

Place the rug on the floor and push down. Does it have any thickness and give? The long yarn in this rug helps to make it a great place to stretch out and watch the game, but even rugs with shorter naps can still feel good depending upon the construction.

Once you’ve brought your rug home, add a few large floor pillows for additional comfort. With these few additions, you can create a floor your family can’t resist!

Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:07:00 -0700 Yelp Reviewers Slice And Dice The Politics Of Diablo Flooring http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/yelp-reviewers-slice-and-dice-the-politics-of http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/yelp-reviewers-slice-and-dice-the-politics-of

When Brian DeOliveira welcomed the President to his flooring shop Sunday with a massive bearhug, it was the beginning of the end of his anonymity.

Brian DeOliveira, a registered Republican who plans to vote for Obama in November, found himself — and his Flooring company — entangled in a political firestorm, with reactions displayed in the form of Yelp reviews. So far, Diablo Flooring has received more than 3,000 reviews from partisans on the left and right.

The Danville,CA flooring company  reportedly had 43 reviews on Yelp before the president dropped by. One of them, from Aug. 31, 2010, called it "one of the best places to get flooring in the area!"

But after images of Diablo Flooring embrace went viral, the Yelpers got political. Some reviews have reportedly been taken down because they didn't meet Yelp's "content guidelines." Those that remain posted show that during an election year, everything — even a slice — is fair game.

A sample vitriolic, one-star review comes from ........  If you were a real republican you would have body slammed the socialist President Obama."

Of course, the president's supporters have also rushed to "rate" Brian's carpet store. One five-star review even attempted to bring the conversation back round to the flooring before swerving back to the politics: "I have never had my flooring done by Diablo Flooring ...but the people who have seem to LOVE IT!", wrote "Acton C.," adding: "Scott...you are exactly what this country needs...A hardworking independent minded voter!"

All of which has left Diablo Flooring with what yelpers cheekily called the "least helpful Yelp profile ever.

Why buy your flooring from your locally owned and operated flooring business is a good question to ask when it is time to purchase flooring. There are many benefits to shopping with a locally owned and operated company.Of course the first thing needs to be addressed is getting the consumers the best value & being competitive.When we say competitive, we don’t necessary mean the cheapest flooring options.

At Diablo Flooring we aim to give the customer what the want.  Sometimes price is the primary want and we try our  level best to be the most economical choice. Many times it's the total package deal.We still aim to be extremely competitive, but not to sacrifice the service we offer.

 

At Diablo Flooring we believe in our community and we like to think that we are a benefit when servicing our fellow neighbors.When buying from a locally owned and operated company it helps to keep your money flowing with in your own community. Locally owned and operated companies normally have the interest of improving there community and being apart of the communities heart beat.Also when you work with your local company you will find a pride in doing the job right and a true interest in the neighbor they are serving. 

 
The local business seem to operate on a different level than the corporate groups that are more interest in the numbers for there stock holder.Working with the  local business just seem to be more the American way.  It is much more personable.It normally offers more value.  You are reinvesting in your community.So before buying your flooring, stop by your local floor covering businesses to see how we measure up in value to the corporate companies.

Wed, 22 Aug 2012 09:56:00 -0700 Diablo Flooring,Inc - Pleasanton,CA 94588 - Real Reviews By Real People ! http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-pleasantonca-94588-real-re http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-pleasantonca-94588-real-re

44 Reviews of Diablo Flooring - Pleasanton,CA - Danville,CA - Walnut Creek,CA

" Pam K " Pleasanton,CA " Brian is the best! He was on time to meet with me to give me a quote to refinish some wood floors that probably had never seen the light of day for over 20 years. His estimate for my 1500 sq foot house was very reasonable. He couldn't fortell if there were any water damage but it was an estimated quote.

Brian knows the business. There is a way to refinish floors while having the house painted and he gave tips to make sure that refinishing the floors and wall painting isn't going to either dirty the painted walls, or damage the painted floors.

He worked with me in scheduling around my needs. While he estimated that it would take 7-8 days, I needed him to finish in 5 which he worked around.

He is very easy to reach on the phone. Always returns phone calls. Keeps you informed of what is going on. Gives honest and good advice.

When I made the decision to not repair some wood in the dining room because I was going to put a rug over it, my husband thought we should repair.
This happened on the final walk through. When I asked Brian if the repairs could be done, he said, yes but that it would cost him more money but he would eat the cost. I didn't want to put Brian in that situation and even though he told me that it is NOT about the money, but about the customer being satisfied, I was grateful knowing that Brian would have made the repairs for me. I decided not to since it was my fault I didn't make the decision earlier. But I just wanted to tell you what a great guy Brian is. He is willing to make the customer happy.

When I questioned some additional costs that a couple of his workers had listed for repairs, Brian got right on top of it. Brian came to the house with the workers and had them point it out and calculate the costs. Also, I made the mistake of not knowing to take out the baseboards as I had someone else pull up the carpet and dispose of it. Brian was reasonable in redoing the additional costs because of the misunderstanding.

I would highly recommend Brian for your wood floors. I had other people look at the estimate and they said that my price was pretty reasonable. Brian is an honest and hardworking person.

" Lori S " Pleasanton,CA " We are extremely satisfied with the great refinisihing job undertaken on our floors by your amazing team. The difference is dramatic - and every room in our home that has wood flooring, looks like a new room. The attention to detail is obvious, as 90% of our home is wood flooring, and the level of quality to which the restoration was completed, is excellent. And we were very pleased at the teams efficiency, as the work was finished per the original schedule - well done!

" C.M " Pleasanton,CA " I know it wasn't the biggest job in the world, but Diablo Flooring did help me with replacing the carpet in my small condo in Pleasanton. I just need to say that they did a great job. Jeff was a great help, and the installers were really good.

Anyways, just thought I'd share!

" Janet M " Pleasanton,CA " I get the impression dealing with service people is like throwing darts. You focus on the goal, use your best finesse-let that baby fly and still just hope for the best. I'm usually happy to hit the board but this time I got the bulls-eye!

Diablo Flooring is the service company you hope to get. The work is premium. Done thoroughly, done timely and done well, passing all inspections along the way. Brian is the owner you don't mind inviting to your home. He is descent, honest and true to his word. He is dependable, diligent, communicative and easy to deal with.

My task was to install new hardwood throughout my house. Brian descended into my dark dingy looking home. The floors had old vinyl and brown 70's shag from the previous owners. I ended up installing DuChateau Hardwood throughout the house. The crew arrived when they said they would. No showing up super early and surprising you, no coming to work at noon. Punctual.

The final product - WOW!

I have exactly what I wanted a classic wide plank floor. I had intially found the floor in Architectural Digest. I'm on budget and I'm happy all because I made one phone call to Diablo Flooring.

We would like to say a big 'Thank You' to all you great customers that gave us so many great reviews over the years. Thank You !

Fri, 22 Jun 2012 14:43:00 -0700 Diablo Flooring,Inc : The following 4 tips should help you choose the right flooring for your home http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-the-following-4-tips-shoul http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-the-following-4-tips-shoul

Budget It is important to decide on your budget for the project, whether you are simply choosing flooring for one room or for your entire property. There is nothing worse, in my opinion, than to see a beautifully designed room with expensive furniture and fabulous drapes, being made to look totally out of place with a badly chosen cheap covering for the floor. There is a lot of truth in the saying that “you get what you pay for” particularly when applying it to flooring and once you have made your choice of flooring, then pay as much as you can comfortably afford. Buying cheap usually costs you more in the long run.

Practicality When choosing your flooring you want to make sure that it suits the needs of your lifestyle. Hardwood floors may be beautiful but they are not the best option for pet lovers or high humidity type places. Consider the factors that would make your life easier when choosing your flooring, you don’t want to be stuck with a high maintenance floor if you are on the go 24/7. Make sure you do your research before selecting your floor and think about your daily routines and habits and select the floor that suits your needs best.

Functionality If you are looking at flooring for a specific room, for example your kitchen, then you need to weigh up the pros and cons of different types of flooring before reaching a decision. I have ceramic tile in my kitchen which look beautiful and rustic, but at the same time they are cold, especially first thing in the morning, and totally unforgiving if you drop anything breakable on them. A far better option for your family could be bamboo flooring which is growing in popularity because it gives you the natural beauty of hardwood flooring without feeling that you are having a detrimental effect on the world's forests.

Style Finally, it is important to choose the type of flooring that suits your style of property and age of house. Open plan modern houses look best with the same light airy looking flooring throughout, such as laminate or bamboo flooring, they also look equally as good with beautiful tiled floors. Older styled properties, with lots of different rooms, may look better with solid wood floors or traditional carpeting throughout.

At the end of the day, the choice is totally yours, but just remember that you can easily paint your walls once you get tired of the color, you may not be in a position to keep changing your flooring. So my advice would be to stick to something natural looking and easy to match with all types of decor, and buy the best quality flooring that you can, if you are planning on staying in your home for some years.

Tue, 12 Jun 2012 15:11:00 -0700 Diablo Flooring,Inc : Caring for your WOOL Carpet http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-caring-for-your-wool-carpe http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-caring-for-your-wool-carpe

Diablo Flooring,Inc : Pleasanton - Danville,CA - Walnut Creek,CA

Caring for your carpet

The natural attributes of New Zealand wool help keep your Wools of New Zealand branded carpets looking good for longer:

  • The naturally scaly surface of wool makes it naturally resistant to soiling. Soil will be held high in the carpet pile where it can be easily removed by vacuuming.
  • Wool has natural elasticity so it stands up to everyday wear and tear and resists unsightly crushing from furniture.
  • Wool has a natural protective outer layer that prevents water-based spills from penetrating into the fiber.

Combined with an effective maintenance plan, these natural attributes make it easy to look after your Wools of New Zealand branded carpet or rug.

All you have to do is follow the three simple steps set out below:

STEP 1: VACUUMING

When it comes to keeping your carpet looking good and hygienically clean, you can never vacuum too often. As a rule, vacuum at least once a week, more often in heavy traffic areas. Be thorough – vacuum under furniture, behind curtains and where your carpet meets the wall.

Quick tips:

  • Be sure your vacuum cleaner is suitable for your type of carpet. Follow the advice of the carpet manufacturer or your retailer.
  • If your vacuum has a bag, empty it regularly to ensure the vacuum doesn't lose suction.

STEP 2: CLEAN SPILLS IMMEDIATELY

Stains can be prevented easily by ACTING QUICKLY when spills occur. Even when time is not on your side, follow this simple removal process, use the correct cleaning agent, and you'll be delighted with the difference you can make.

Scoop, Blot, Clean, Rinse and Blot Dry

DO NOT RUB OR SCRUB YOUR WOOL CARPET AS THIS CAN CAUSE PERMANENT PILE DISTORTION.

Type of treatment

  1. Cold water.
  2. One teaspoon of wool detergent (for example, Softly) and one litre of warm water.
  3. Clear household disinfectant.
  4. Dry cleaning solvent such as White Spirit or Murlex (Available from hardware stores). Use only on dry carpet.
  5. Chill with ice cubes in a plastic bag. Pick or scrape off gum.
  6. Mix 1/3 cup of white vinegar with 2/3 cup of water.
  7. Warm water.
  8. Nail polish remover (should not contain lanolin).
  9. Surgical alcohol.
  10. Place absorbent paper over wax and apply hot iron to paper. Wax will melt and be absorbed by the paper.
  11. Vacuum clean.
  12. Mineral turpentine.
  13. Seek assistance from a professional carpet cleaner.

Wed, 16 May 2012 14:51:00 -0700 Diablo Flooring,Inc : Mohawk Carpet - SmartStrand Silk - Luxuriously Soft http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-mohawk-carpet-smartstrand http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-mohawk-carpet-smartstrand

Diablo Flooring,Inc  SHOWROOMS : Pleasanton,CA - Danville,CA - Walnut Creek,CA

The carpet business has another new fiber. SmartStrand Silk with DuPont Sorona. This fiber is being marketed as the only luxuriously soft carpet with built-in stain and soil protection that never washes or wears off and cleans with just water.

DuPont believes that comfort is a primary reason consumers choose carpet as a floor covering. SmartStrand Silk is clearly the softest synthetic carpet fiber ever brought to market. But softness is not the only reason to purchase carpet made of SmartStrand Silk.

SmartStrand carpets offer permanent stain and soil protection that will never wear or wash off or need reapplying since the protection is built right into the fiber, not chemically applied after production. With no added chemicals, SmartStrand Silk naturally resists all food and beverages, even strong staining items such as mustard, red wine and the dreaded Kool-Aid. In addition SmartStrand Silk withstands constant everyday soiling from tracked-in grit and grime.

Another advantage of SmartStrand Silk is that it is made of a renewably sourced polymer
which makes being green an easy choice. This carpet is made with Bio-RDO, the key Sorona ingredient, which is produced from corn sugar. In fact 37 percent of the carpet fiber is made from renewable resources instead of petroleum based ingredients.  Every seven yards of SmartStrand saves enough energy and resources to equal one gallon of gasoline.

SmartStrand cleans up easily with just water or mild detergent. No harsh cleaning agents or chemicals are required which is healthier since it doesn’t require cleaning products that emit fumes. Furthermore, since the soil and stain protection is part of the fiber no reapplication of topical anti-soiling in necessary.

While Diablo Flooring sells from the face of the carpet and not its back it is nice to know that SmartStrand Silk comes with lifetime coverage for stain and soil resistance, full cat and dog coverage, static, as well as 25 year warranties for fade resistance, abrasive wear, texture retention and manufacturer’s defects. At Diablo Flooring we strive to bring the latest technology to market. Clearly SmartStrand Silk proves this point.

Fri, 04 May 2012 11:55:00 -0700 Diablo Flooring,Inc : Is Carpet The Right Choice For Me? http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-is-carpet-the-right-choice http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-is-carpet-the-right-choice

Diablo Flooring,Inc : Pleasanton,CA  - Danville,CA - Walnut Creek,CA

Advantages of Carpet

Carpet comes in a variety of styles, types, and colors, allowing it to easily integrate into any décor. It provides a level of comfort for the feet when it is walked on, and it helps cushion the blow from falls. It is also an excellent noise insulator, so if things fall on the floor, they are less likely to break and will not make a loud noise.

Carpet is the least expensive flooring option for a home, and can still be an excellent investment when properly cared for over time. It serves as an insulator against cold to help keep your home warmer and keep your heating costs down. The carpet fibers can trap allergens and dust in their fibers, which prevents them from being released into the air indoors, thereby improving indoor air quality. For the improved air quality, the carpet must be cleaned and maintained properly on a regular basis.

Disadvantages of Carpet

The biggest disadvantage of carpet is that it must be cleaned more intensively than other flooring types. Though a weekly vacuuming will suffice most of the time, it will leave behind bits of dirt, dust, and other allergens, which can break down the carpet fibers over time. To combat this, the carpet should be shampooed at least once a year, and if highly trafficked, twice a year is even better. Shampooing the carpet can be a hassle and may be costly depending on whether you do-it-yourself or hire a professional, but skipping this cleaning will greatly reduce the life span of the carpet.

Carpet is not generally an environmentally friendly option for your home, as it takes chemicals to produce. The chemicals are not good for the planet, and may escape from the carpet fibers for years after the installation. When the carpet is removed and disposed of, the fibers are not biodegradable. Eco-friendly options are available to offset this disadvantage.

Carpet fashions change frequently, meaning the look of a home may become outdated sooner than most people want.

Where Carpet Can Be Installed

Carpet can be installed in any area of the home where water is not an issue. It is ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. Though carpet can be installed by a do-it-yourselfer, it is not an easy job. Certain specialized tools are required for installation, and those with little to no experience installing carpet should not attempt it on their own. To get the most out of the investment, a professional carpet installer is recommended.

Where Carpet Should Not Be Installed

Carpet should not be installed in any area of the home where water is an issue. Keep carpet out of kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. The water can seep into the fibers and cause issues with mold and mildew. If the carpet gets too wet, it will need to be replaced completely.

Carpet is an excellent flooring choice for those who are opposed to hardwoods for any reason, and it is a cost effective way to change the look of a room.

Carpet is just one of the many flooring choices for a home. When trying to decide whether or not to purchase carpet, it is important to consider design, price, comfort, sustainability, and whether or not it is ideal for the installation location. Taking a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages of using a carpet floor, along with the advantages and disadvantages of carpet flooring, will make the decision easier.

The number of carpet choices available can easily overwhelm buyers. Taking a second to break it down and learn about the styles and types available will make the purchase decision easier. Understanding what the options are will help in choosing the best carpet for the situation.

Styles and Types of Carpet

Carpet is most commonly found in two types of construction: cut pile and loop pile. Each construction offers various styles to choose from.

Cut Pile: This carpet gets its durability through the fiber used, the density of the tufts, and the twist of the yarn. There are four popular styles to choose from: textured plush, Saxony, frieze, and cable.

Plush: This has a smooth and even finish, providing a more formal look.

• Textured: This style uses low density fibers of uneven heights. The resulting look hides dirt with an informal look, but it is not suited for high traffic areas.

• Saxony: This has a smooth and even finish, but the fibers are longer than a textured plush, and the fibers have a twist. Though this is the most popular style of carpet on the market, it has a tendency to show footprints and other marks more than other carpets.

• Frieze: This carpet style features long fibers with more twists, so the resulting texture is informal. It hides foot prints and other marks easier than other carpets, but is generally not suited for high traffic areas. If the piles are longer, it is called “shag.”

• Cable: This style of carpet is made with thicker and longer fibers to provide a more “cozy” feel to the carpet when walked on.

 

Loop Pile: Loop pile carpets do not cut the yarn tips, making the loops visible. They are durable in construction, and are considered an “all-purpose” carpet. There are various styles to choose from including: level loop, patterned multi-level loop, and cut and loop.

Level Loop or Berber: This carpet style features packed short looped fibers. This provides a durable surface for high trafficked areas with an informal appearance. Some color flecks in the fiber may make it easier to hide dirt, but the height of the fibers may make the seams more visible.

• Patterned Multi-Level Loop: This carpet style features loops of varying heights to create a texture and or pattern.

• Cut and Loop: This carpet style is a mixture between cut pile and loop pile fibers. The variant makes for a textured appearance that is ideal for highly trafficked areas. As an added bonus, this type of carpet also hides dirt and stains.

 

Quality of Carpet

 

Carpet quality is determined by a variety of factors including: the fiber type, the fiber construction, weight, density, and twist. There are some manufacturers that refer to carpet by grade, but there is no universal grade system in place for carpet. The “grades” assigned to carpet by the manufacturer are generally used as a marketing tool. Though traffic ratings are important, one company’s “high traffic” rating may be better than another.

 

Weight

 

The weight of a carpet is important as it shows how many fibers are present. The more fibers, the heavier the carpet; the heavier the carpet, the better. The face weight of the carpet is usually provided when selecting the right carpet for a home or business.

 

Fiber Types

 

The durability, look and feel, and price of carpet are partially determined by the fiber used to make it. The most common fiber types are: nylon, olefin, polyester, acrylic, wool, and blends.

Nylon: This is the most popular fiber type used for carpeting. There are two different kinds of nylon used to make carpeting: nylon 6, and nylon 6,6. Nylon is present in roughly 60% of all carpets sold in the United States. During manufacturing, dye is added to produce a variety of colors. Nylon is a highly durable fiber, resistant to wear and tear. It is generally not a stain repelling fiber, though treatments are available to help protect it against staining. It is a conductor of static electricity, and when left in direct sunlight for long periods of time, will fade.

• Olefin: This fiber is not as resilient as nylon, but it is less likely to fade. It is a strong fiber that is resistant to wear and tear. This is an ideal fiber for any outdoor carpeting use because it is resistant to mold and mildew. This is not a comfortable carpet to walk on with bare feet. The seams of the carpet fibers may be more visible than with other fibers.

• Polyester: Polyester is increasing in popularity because it is a more cost effective option than other fibers. It is not suitable for highly trafficked areas, because it is less resilient than nylon fiber and is more likely to show damage and fade. If used with a thick cut-pile construction, it has a soft feel.

• Acrylic: Acrylic is not a widely used fiber, but it provides the look and feel of wool based carpets, without the expense. It is not a major conductor of static electricity, and is resistant to mold and mildew.

• Wool: Wool is the most expensive fiber in the carpet market today, because it is the only natural fiber used in carpet production. It feels good against bare feet and is highly durable. It is stain and dirt resistant, but will fade easily in direct sunlight.

• Blends: Blends of these fibers are used to improve the overall quality of carpet in terms of look and feel, and durability. The most commonly used blends are wool and nylon, and olefin and nylon.

 

Fiber Construction

 

The durability of a carpet relies heavily on the fiber construction.

 

• Bulked Continuous Filament: Otherwise known as BCF, Bulked Continuous Filament is yarn made from one strand of fiber. Texture is added to the yarn to add to the bulk of the carpet which helps to make the twist more permanent, increasing durability and the life of the final carpet. All Build Direct carpets are made with this construction.

• Staple: Staple construction is fibers made into short pieces of yarn, which inevitably causes the carpet to shed, and the fibers must be removed by vacuuming.

• Twist: Carpet fibers are twisted around additional fiber to strengthen the final carpet. It makes it more resistant to wear and matting, and texture changes.

• Heat Setting: Heat setting “locks in” the twist, to keep it from unraveling to strengthen the final carpet.

• Tufting: The finishing step to produce carpet, the fibers are pushed through needles and tufted to the backing. This is the step that determines the density because of the amount of yarn and how close the tufts are.

 

Density

 

Density is important to the life of a carpet because it shows how many fibers are used in the pile and how close the fibers are tufted together. The rule of thumb is: the denser the carpet is, the better quality it is. Test the density by running fingers through the carpet to determine if it possible to feel the backing. If it is hard to feel the backing, the carpet is dense.

 

Colors and Patterns

 

Colors and patterns are available in all kinds of carpet, regardless of construction, fibers, and type. There are enough colors and patterns available to suit any decor. Light colors make a room seem larger than it is, but they will show dirt and stains easily. Medium colors will hide dirt and stains a bit, so they are ideal for areas near the entrances of a building. Multiple colors may make a room look dated if the colors are not carefully chosen because they are not as common. They will also hide dirt and debris. Patterns are a great choice for children’s rooms because they come in a range from geometrical to floral.

 

Armed with this information, buyers will be able to determine the best carpet for the room(s) in question and the available budget for the project. When properly cared for, carpet can last many years and be an excellent investment.
