 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, 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.

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

 Pleasanton,CA : Dublin,CA : Danville,CA : Walnut Creek,CA : Lafayette,CA

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.

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

Our soft-sell approach is to listen to your objectives and help you make the best choices. Let your creativity and personal preferences guide you. Take samples of your favorites to show your family or your client in their intended environment. Take your time. Diablo Flooring will provide you with as much support as you need throughout the process, so bring your excitement and enthusiasm; we know you’ll be thrilled with the end result.

My goal is for Diablo Flooring to be the premier floor covering top retailer in our market area. In order to achieve that goal I must remain focused on the things that I can control and work within those things to give my company the best chance to achieve. Items I can control include who I partner with when deciding what products I want to offer to my customers. Great suppliers are critical when business is difficult. I need suppliers that will deliver first quality products at competitive prices on time. I need suppliers that will protect their products distribution not only in my market area but on the internet so that I can sell their products at a reasonable profit. I need suppliers that when necessary will go the extra yard to make the situation right no matter who is to blame. Without great suppliers I cannot be a premier company.

Another item I can control is how I react when things don’t go exactly as planned. I have always said that what separates great companies from average companies are their people. The ability to access a situation and figure out the best course of action is critical. Things happen in business and it’s how you deal with them that ultimately determines whether your customer will sing your praises or curse about you to every friend, neighbor and/or human being that will listen

Sat, 17 Sep 2011 10:46:00 -0700 Diablo Flooring,Inc : How To Clean Hardwood Flooring... http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-how-to-clean-hardwood-floo http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-how-to-clean-hardwood-floo

How To Clean Hardwood Flooring

Your hardwood floor is installed. Your house finally feels like a home. But now what? How do you care for your new investment? 

Meet Mat

Floor mats are a wonderful thing when it comes to hardwood floors. Tiny particles, like dirt, can act like sandpaper and scratch your wood. By placing a floor mat at each entryway and encouraging family members and guests to wipe their feet, the majority of dirt and grime will remain on the mat. Also put a floor mat or rug in any area where water could be splashed — like near the kitchen sink. This will hinder any possible water damage.

Note that rubber-backed or non-ventilated floor mats or rugs can damage your floor. Instead use floor mats or rugs made especially for hardwood floors and be sure to shake them out regularly.

Whistle While You Work

Along with a hardwood floor comes the responsibility of keeping it clean. The better care you take, the longer your floor will maintain its original beauty. Step one is to purchase a high quality broom so that you can sweep your floor regularly of dirt, dust and other particles.

Second step is a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar, to get in between the boards and other hard to reach areas.

Deeper cleaning techniques vary depending on the installation and finish of your hardwood floor. For “Finish in Place” hardwood floors, using an 8”x14” terrycloth mop with a rotating head that makes cleaning corners, under cabinets and along base boards as simple as pie is recommeded.

Professional cleaning products recommended by Diablo Flooring can be used to remove tough stains and spills without dulling the finish of your wood floor. Makers of “Pre-finished” floors recommend their own specific products for routine maintenance. Check with us for details.

Do and Don’ts

Don’t wax a wood floor with a urethane finish

Do use cleaners that won’t leave a film or residue

Don’t use ammonia cleaners or oil soaps on a wood floor — they’ll dull the finish and affect your ability to recoat later.

Do use a professional hardwood floor cleaner to remove occasional scuffs and heel marks (just spray some cleaner on a cloth and rub the stained area lightly)

Don’t wet mop or use excessive water to clean your floor (wood naturally expands when it’s wet and can cause your floor to crack or splinter).  For information on steam cleaning hardwood floors, see our blog post on Floor Talk.

Do clean sticky spots with a damp towel or sponge

Do minimize water exposure and clean spills immediately

Go Deep

If and when your hardwood floor begins to look like it belongs beneath the feet of gold miners in an old western saloon, it’s time to consider screening and recoating.

Screening is the process used to abrade or grind down your floor’s polyurethane finish. Next, fresh coats of urethane are applied. The result is a rejuvenated floor that looks as good as the day it was installed!

If the damage to your hardwood floor is severe, then you may require sanding and refinishing. This process involves sanding your floor down to the bare wood and refinishing it. Only go to this effort if screening and recoating doesn’t solve your problem. Replacement boards may be available so you don’t have to refinish the entire area. Be sure to go pro whenever you have work done on your hardwood floors!

Protect Your Investment

All hardwood floors fade or change shades over time. Like our own skin, wood’s exposure to sunlight may greatly increase this process and cause permanent damage.

Window treatments are recommended to shade your floors from the sun’s harsh rays. We also recommend rotating area rugs and furniture regularly, allowing wood floors to age evenly from UV exposure.

To avoid permanent marks and scratches, it’s a good idea to cover furniture and table legs with flannel protectors. Be careful when moving heavy objects across your floor to avoid scuffing.

Ladies — your stiletto heels may be fashionable, but what’s not in fashion (or covered by your warranty) are the dents and scratches they cause to wood floors. Likewise, trim your pet’s nails regularly and keep any and all other sharp objects away from your floors.

Love your floors and your floors will love you back for a long, long time.

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.

Mon, 27 Jun 2011 11:37:00 -0700 Diablo Flooring,Inc (925) 426-RUGS A Guide to Picking the Right Neutral Carpet Tone http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-925-426-rugs-a-guide-to-pi http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-925-426-rugs-a-guide-to-pi

Parents know all about being neutral.  Whether it's in a petty argument between siblings or picking the right carpet tone, neutral is usually a good route to take.  While neither situation is easy, you at least have a fighting chance when it comes to your carpet.

 Here are some tips for choosing the right neutral carpet tone for your home.

 Size

When choosing between a darker or lighter color, factor in the size of your room.  It is recommended that you use a lighter carpet in a smaller room, so that the room appears larger.  In a large room, a darker color will bring a “cozier” appearance.

 Furniture

By having an outstanding carpet-furniture color combination, you can turn your living space into something very special.  Always try to use contrasting colors, and try out your experimentation on a color-wheel. A color-wheel will help you compare colors according to the visual light spectrum.

 Lighting

Everyone enjoys natural sunlight, but it's important to know when there's enough.  In a room with a lot of healthy sunlight, use a slightly darker toned carpet to help balance out the room while maintaining the bright atmosphere everyone loves.

 Be Decisive

You're going with a neutral color, because neutral colors are elegant, simple, and won't detract from the rest of your home.  So don't fret over the slight variations—leave that up to your consultant!

 In the San Francisco bay area, your carpet needs are covered at Diablo Flooring. While there are a lot of places to buy carpet, Diablo Flooring  is the only place that offers great buying power, hometown service, and free in-home consultations.  To learn more visit the website www.diabloflooring.com  or call us today at (925) 426-7847.

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!
