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.

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.

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:50:00 -0700 Diablo Flooring,Inc : HIBERNIA FINE WOOL CARPETS & RUGS http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-hibernia-fine-wool-carpets http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-hibernia-fine-wool-carpets

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.

Sun, 09 Oct 2011 10:47:00 -0700 Diablo Flooring,Inc : Stanton Carpet : Many Patterned Carpet's http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-stanton-carpet-many-patter http://diabloflooring.posterous.com/diablo-flooringinc-stanton-carpet-many-patter

Working With Patterned Carpet: A Designer's Perspective

Flooring is the cornerstone of any design scheme. Once you decide on the carpeting or rug, then the wall color, window treatment, fabrics and furnishings can fall into place. Flooring is also an integral ingredient in setting the style of a room: Choose an animal print, like Bagira from the Shalimar collection, for an exotic, sophisticated look; or La Jolla from the California collection for a contemporary and comfortable look. What’s on the floor—whether it’s a solid color or an elaborate pattern—will create the mood for an entire space.

Pattern is an important consideration when choosing a carpet and there are many reasons to give it special attention. Practically speaking, it can hide a multitude of spills, spots and wear. Even a subtle pattern, created by varying textures for example, will help to conceal blemishes. Pattern adds detail to a room, whether it’s geometric, floral or a simple check. It also brings character and complexity to the overall design.

Some patterns complement certain furniture styles. Geometric patterns, for example, are often used in the Art Deco style; look at Clearwater in the Florida collection or Deco in the Dimensions collection. A formal, traditional room will have carpeting with a classic, decorative pattern like Charles II from the Royal Sovereign collection—such timeless designs are often similar to those found in antique Oriental and European rugs. In a room with modern furniture, carpeting will suit the look when it has clean lines and simplicity as found in Izmit from the Hereke collection.

Fifth Avenue

Designing with pattern requires some thought. It would be difficult to make a space work when the carpet, walls and fabric in a room all have different wild designs competing with each other. It’s much better when patterns work with each other. If there’s a primary fabric in a room that has a big bold print, then consider a simple pattern, such as a check or diamond, for the carpeting. Scale must be considered as well—if a carpet has a large scale pattern, then other patterns in the room should probably be smaller. Along the same vein, if the carpeting has a floral design, it’s a good idea to steer away from competing floral patterns in the room and consider small prints, stripes and solids for furniture and window treatments.
