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.

Izmit

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
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.

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.

Do you work for free? I am guessing your answer is no. So what makes you believe that when a carpet store advertises free installation of their carpet it is really free? The plain and simple truth is that no one works for free. Not the window installer, the siding installer or the flooring installer.

Unfortunately, deceptive advertising runs rampant in the flooring business. Everyday we are bombarded with ads offering two rooms for the price of one. Buy one room and get two rooms free. Buy two rooms and get the rest of the house carpeted free. Whole house free installation with carpet purchase. Free pad with your carpet purchase. Free financing for 12 months.

The truth is in the bottom line. An educated customer will take the time to compare apples to apples. He or she will not only compare the quality of the carpet but the quality of the pad. He or she will want to know how many square feet they are buying to cover the area and where the seams are going to be. They will want to know what furniture they need to move or what the cost is to have the installers move it. They will want to know if the installation carries a warranty and if the installers are certified or licensed.

It really makes no difference if the square foot price is less if the bottom line is more. The customer who gets free installation is paying more if the amount of material sold is more than what was really needed. Finally one should ask do I really want free installation or do I want a professional who is paid like a professional to install the carpet in my home.
