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.

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.

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.

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.

Tue, 10 Apr 2012 08:34:00 -0700 Diablo Flooring,Inc : Benefits of WOOL Carpet : Showrooms in Pleasanton,Ca : Danville,CA : Walnut Crek,CA http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-benefits-of-wool-carpet-sh http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-benefits-of-wool-carpet-sh

Why Wool?

Wool is durable, resilient, affords comfort and safety - and wool is a renewable resource! Wool fibers are naturally superior to synthetic fibers, as well as longer lasting, inherently flame retardant and resistant to dirt and crushing.

Performance

  • SUPERIOR TEXTURE RETENTION & RESILIENCE... Due to the natural crimp that is inherent in wool fiber.
  • SUPERIOR WEAR -- Ask previous wool purchasers... Wool looks better longer and "Wears Gracefully".
  • NATURALLY SOLID & STAIN RESISTANT... Protection that won't deteriorate like the temporary additives that are used on synthetic fibers.
  • SUPERIOR DYE FASTNESS... Due to wool's natural ability to take in dyes.
  • NATURALLY FIRE RETARDANT and wool is self extinguishing. Wool is the fiber of choice for casinos and airlines for this reason alone.

Value

  • Slightly higher initial cost massively offset by product longevity and ease of maintenance. WOOL CARPET ACTUALLY COSTS LESS!!!!
  • WOOL CARPET ADDS VALUE and is the ULTIMATE STATEMENT OF STYLE, SUCCESS, AND COMFORT.
  • WOOL IS WARMER IN THE WINTER AND COOLER IN THE SUMMER. Wool naturally feels better, is more resilient, and helps moderate temperature and humidity in the home by absorbing and releasing moisture as needed.
  • Wool's natural soil and stain resistance allows for wool to require LESS CLEANING THAN SYNTHETICS.
  • Wool is a renewable resource and is biodegradable. Wool is a way to be kind to Mother Earth. WOOL IS GREEN AND IS RECYCLABLE.

Comfort

  • WOOL'S SOFT & NATURAL FEEL to the hand and beauty underfoot simply cannot be achieved with any synthetic fiber.
  • Wool is a NATURALLY DELUSTERED FIBER that is appealing to the eye and allows for a soft and comfortable appearance on the floor.
  • Wool's natural luster and gentle light reflection characteristics give a home or office an ELEGANT AND PEACEFUL BACKGROUND.

Quality

  • All HIBERNIA WOOL CARPETS ARE CAREFULLY TESTED for consistency, performance, and overall adherence to strict product specifications.
  • Our yarns are TRIPLE SCORED to enhance soil resistance and extend the life of the carpet.
  • HIGH TWIST YARNS equal higher performance and all HIBERNIA fabrics utilize higher than normal twist multiples to insure customer satisfaction.
  • All HIBERNIA carpet products are PERFORMANCE TESTED and TRAFFIC RATED to insure performance and proper utilization.
