A Woman’s Guide to Flooring from Shaw Floors : Walnut Creek,CA : San Ramon,CA : Pleasanton,CA

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

In my perusal of the Shaw floors tips and trends, I noticed this helpful little booklet on “A Woman’s Guide to Flooring” underneath the question “Not Sure Where to Start?”. Click here to download now!

The guide has some fabulous tips such as determining the functionality of the room and  the personality you’re trying to create, and gathering swatches that meet these choices. There are a number of flooring types available: carpet, ceramic tile, hardwood floors, laminate flooring, and area rugs.

Style 101 in the guide lists four different styles to help you choose your floors: modern, retro, natural, and fashion-inspired. I feel like there are many more styles than just these, but it’s a start. More flooring tips and trends mark the end of the booklet, listing tips like pleasing the eyes and the feet with your flooring, not to be afraid of color (also see Shaw’s “Color Cues”), going green, and layering up.

Please stop by one of our showrooms to view many great Shaw  products .

Mirage Floors, the world's best and finest hardwood floors!

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!

Don’t Worry. It’s SmartStrand It's Mohawk carpet

Mohawk leads innovation in sustainable flooring with SmartStrand® carpet with DuPont™ Sorona® renewably sourced polymer. In a partnership with DuPont, this carpet exclusively offers fiber made with Bio-PDO™ (the key Sorona® ingredient), which is produced from corn sugar.

By utilizing this new ingredient, 37 percent of Sorona® is being made from renewable resources. This marks the first time that a luxuriously soft carpet offers durability and stain protection, while also making less of an environmental impact.

Why Is SmartStrand Environmentally Smart?

DuPont™ Sorona® plays a major role in the worldwide objective of a renewable economy and represents a new frontier in sustainability. This carpet is environmentally smart because:

• The production of Sorona® polymer requires 30 percent less energy than the production of an equal amount of nylon.

• Greenhouse gas emissions from the production of Sorona® are 63 percent lower than nylon manufacturing.

• This energy reduction results in approximately one gallon of gasoline saved per every seven square yards of carpet.

The superior stain resistance of SmartStrand® carpet is engineered into the fiber and will never wear or wash off, meaning consumers will never need to retreat the carpet with stain protectors after steam cleaning.

And this engineered-in stain resistance reaches new levels of protection, allowing tough stains such as mustard, red wine, and cherry Kool-Aid® to be removed simply with warm water and a mild detergent, or with Mohawk FloorCare™ Essentials. The fiber even resists discoloration from bleach.

It goes without saying that SmartStrand can be found as a major component in inspired homes everywhere.

Diablo Flooring,Inc : California Classics Hardwood Flooring : Pleasanton,CA : Danville,CA : Walnut Creek,CA

California Classics hardwoods are prepared in the classics traditional American style, from uncompromising source wood selection to the final floor finish. They are painstakingly hand-crafted, one board at a time, by trained hardwood floor artisans, yet still priced affordably enough for those who appreciate fine quality.

While cheap hardwood flooring from discounters and home improvement stores can seem “good enough”, in reality cheap flooring is not a good value. Over time, you’ll probably regret a decision to scimp on something as important to your home as flooring is. It simply pays to invest in fine hardwoods.

California Classics Flooring.
True Hand-Scraping by Artisans.

Lots of hardwood flooring brands these days deceptively claim their products are “hand-scraped” when they’re actually scraped by lightly-trained workers using machines. A discerning consumer can easily tell the difference.

You’ve probably seen this “fake” look on mediocre reproduction furniture: the monotonous patterns and machine-made appearance of the scraping and grooves. It’s worse on a hardwood floor, where the broad expanse makes the repetition even more obvious, and over time, tiresome to the eye. What might be acceptable to you when you look at a few boards in a store might not be when it’s spread across your living room.

California Classics flooring artisans have been personally trained by a nationally-renowned hardwood flooring master to “read” each piece of wood, determining its one-of-a-kind personality, and then to choose the right tools and techniques to fully bring out this character. California Classics flooring craftsmen are highly skilled at adding natural-looking chatter marks, antique wear and tear, distressing, scraping, worm holes and more, in different areas of each board, without repetition of patterns, depths, etc.

There are no machines, no assembly lines, no large quantities being pushed through quickly to save time and money. Each flooring plank is individually inspected for its unique patterns, grain and colorations, and hand-carved and scraped to complement its beautiful marks of individuality. No two floor boards are the same!

When in a flooring store, please compare our true hand-scraped hardwood flooring to typical machine-scraped hardwood flooring. The difference is obvious!

Diablo Flooring,Inc : Stanton Carpet : Many Patterned Carpet's

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
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.
