Hycraft Carpets

With hundreds Kiwis employed in New Zealand, the NZ operations include spinning mills, dye houses, design studios, carpet manufacturing mills, warehouse and support offices across Aotearoa.

Made in New Zealand

The natural beauty of wool stems from the inherent complexity of the fibre itself, evolved to protect sheep, no matter the conditions! That’s why we still wear wool, sleep with wool, insulate with wool and enjoy walking on wool.

Hypoallergenc 
Wool carpets are naturally hypoallergenic making them suitable for those with allergies.

Naturally Insulating 
Wool absorbs moisture in the air and controls humidity for a comfortable environment, making it cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Wool carpet can also absorb and desorb significant quantities of moisture from the air to buffer humidity changes in a room.

Fire Resistance 
Wool carpet has natural flame resistant properties due to its ability to char when burnt and not melt like synthetic fibres. It retains heat and starves its surface of air, extinguishing flames.

Stain Resistance 
The wool fibres natural structure consists of overlapping scales, arranged much like roof shingles. These scales inhibit dirt from adhering to the fibre and help fleck it away.
NOTE: eventually the wool will naturally absorb stains so cleaning is best done immediately.

Biodegradable 
As a natural resource, wool fibre is biodegradable. When wool fibre is disposed of, it will naturally decompose in soil in a matter of months or years, slowly releasing valuable nutrients back into the earth.

Renewable 
A renewable material, wool is shorn from sheep every 9-12 months and produced by sheep consuming a totally renewable resource - grass.

<h3>
 We Have Something Exciting to Declare.
</h3>

 In a marketplace increasingly focused on environmental considerations and issues around sustainability, Godfrey Hirst are incredibly proud to have products officially approved Declare® LBC Red List Free.


 The International Living Future Institute (ILFI), and local affiliate the Living Future Institute of Australia (LFIA), are organisations committed to driving sustainable change in the Australian Built environment through the development of leading edge programs, that are designed to radically change our approach to building and construction.


 Predicated on creating a healthier built environment, the Declare® program delivers clear, unambiguous information about building material specifications. Participating manufacturers are required to disclose a Product’s entire constituent chemical composition to a threshold of 100-parts-per-million; essentially creating a ‘nutrition’ label of ingredients.

<h3>
 A product transparency program
</h3>

 Each Declare® label is compared against a list of worst-inclass materials, better known as the Red List. Chemicals on the Red List can pose an increased risk of:

<ul>
 <li>
 Polluting the environment
 </li>
 <li>
 Bio-accumulation of contaminants progressing up the food chain
 </li>
 <li>
 Negative health implications for factory personnel, construction industry workers and building occupants
 </li>
</ul>

 Aware of our role in developing products that homeowners can comfortably put in their homes, we worked with our entire supply chain to identify, source and utilise the healthiest possible manufacturing ingredients. When we were confident our products met the stringent sustainability and toxic free chemical standards, we applied for LFIA Declare® approval.

<h3>
 The Declare® initiative has three declaration statuses:
</h3>
<ul>
 <li>
 LBC Red List Free - Complete ingredient disclosure revealing ZERO Red List chemicals
 </li>
 <li>
 LBC Red List Approved - Where chemicals or product ingredients have no available public information, or a manufacturer is unable to publicly identify an ingredient due to proprietary registration. Products may potentially contain Red List chemicals, which, if identified, will be highlighted in orange
 </li>
 <li>
 Declared - This base level of transparency, while revealing a product’s ingredients, will nevertheless contain some Red List ingredients, which will also be highlighted in orange
 </li>
</ul>
<h3>
 This label addresses three key concerns:
</h3>
<ul>
 <li>
 Where does a product originate?
 </li>
 <li>
 What is it made of?
 </li>
 <li>
 Where does it end up at the end of its life?
 </li>
</ul>

 Each of our products are individually approved and the label can be downloaded from the product page and please <a href="https://www.godfreyhirst.com/au/support">contact us</a> if you have any questions.

<h3>Wonders in Wool</h3>
The natural beauty of wool stems from the inherent complexity of the fibre itself, evolved to protect sheep, no matter the conditions! That’s why we still wear wool, sleep with wool, insulate with wool and enjoy walking on wool.

<h3>Effortless Elegance for Every Season</h3>
As the days grow warmer, transform your home into a sanctuary of refined, effortless cool with Feltex designer wool carpets. While often associated with winter warmth, wool’s remarkable versatility makes it the ultimate choice for all seasons. In spring and summer, wool’s natural temperature-regulating properties work to maintain an ideal indoor climate, keeping your space refreshingly cool even on the hottest days. Its breathable fibres promote air circulation, minimising trapped heat and moisture.
Beyond its climate control benefits, wool absorbs humidity to create a fresh, crisp atmosphere, while its hypoallergenic qualities ensure a healthier, purer air quality. Luxuriously soft yet incredibly durable, wool is a timeless option that harmonises with the ebb and flow of the seasons.
With Feltex wool carpets, you’re not just choosing flooring—you’re investing in year-round elegance, comfort, and an 
 environment that feels as good as it looks. Experience the luxury of nature’s finest with the perfect balance of style and function. 

<h3>Finest Quality Natural Fibre</h3> 
Feltex wool carpets are made from the finest natural wool fibres which are renewable and biodegradable.
A renewable material, wool is shorn from sheep every 9-12 months and produced by sheep consuming a totally renewable resource - grass.
As a natural resource, wool fibre is biodegradable. When wool fibre is disposed of, it will naturally decompose in soil in a matter of months or years, slowly releasing valuable nutrients back into the earth.

<h3>Natural Insulation and Humidity Control</h3>
Wool carpet is naturally insulative with humidity control for a comfortable indoor environment, making it cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Wool is a natural hygroscopic insulator. This means your wool carpet can absorb up to 30% - 40% of its weight in moisture without becoming wet to touch. This reduces the dampness in the air, making your home a drier and healthier place to live.
In cold, damp conditions (high relative humidity) moisture is absorbed by wool and heat is given off. In warm dry conditions, moisture is released by wool, resulting in a cooling effect. How well your carpet insulates largely depends on how much air it can trap. 
Because of wool’s natural inbuilt crimp, air is retained in millions of tiny pockets which provide an insulating effect, thus creating a comfortable home environment.

<h3>Luxurious and Hypoallergenic</h3>
Wool carpets are naturally luxurious and hypoallergenic making them both aesthetic and suitable for those with allergies.
Ideal for allergy and asthma sufferers, wool does not promote the growth of bacteria, mould and mildew.This reduces the likelihood of spores, mycotoxins and volatile organic compounds from developing in the home, helping to prevent allergies and respiratory problems.
Wool fibre also deters the growth of dustmites – the most common single cause of asthma.

Wool carpet is a very practical option in terms of cleaning and maintenance. It is naturally resistant to dirt and household stains.

This reduces the likelihood of spores, mycotoxins and volatile organic compounds from developing in the home, helping to prevent allergies and respiratory problems.
