Godfrey Hirst Carpet & Flooring  - Godfrey Hirst Residential

Triexta carpet stays beautiful longer thanks to the unique fibre structure that is engineered for stain resistance. This is engineered into the fibre at the molecular level, preserving the beauty of the carpet.

Permanent stain protection is built into every fibre, all you need is water to remove the most stubborn household food and beverage spills - even red wine and cordial. With no need for chemicals, cleaning your carpet has never been easier.

Put simply, staining can occur on regular carpets when a spill bonds to the fibre. But triexta carpets have no dye sites, preventing spills from adhering and becoming stains. Spills sit on the outside of the fibre where they can be easily washed away with just water. This is thanks to the breakthrough triexta fibre that is engineered to be negatively charged, naturally repelling spills to prevent stains - compared to regular carpets that have a topical stain protection treatment.

You can also play with your pets indoors worry free, as the built-in stain resistance doesn’t allow mishaps to penetrate the fibre.

Built In Stain Resistance

<h3>An Australian Story</h3>

Our Australian history spans back to 1865, when the Victorian Woollen and Cloth Manufacturing Company began operations in Geelong and was purchased in the 1890’s by Godfrey Hirst. Godfrey Hirst’s entrepreneurial skills and knowledge of the industry lead to the great success that was furthered even more so by the McKendrick family in the 1960s. In 2018, the Godfrey Hirst business was acquired by Mohawk Industries, the world’s largest flooring company, expanding its product offering and capabilities to a global scale.

Commercially, our customisation capabilities and vast archive of designs are trusted for major projects in all market segments across workspace, retail, hospitality, healthcare, education, public space and multi-residential in Australia, New Zealand and around the world.

Our partnership with the official Australian Made campaign aligns us with Australia’s most trusted, recognised and widely used country of origin symbol, underpinned by a third-party accreditation system that authenticates genuinely Australian products.

<h3>Investing in local</h3>

Our local investment in people, manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution provides total supply chain capability, ensuring quality control and consistency from product design, right through to delivery. We are proud to have a loyal and long serving inclusive and diverse workforce while managing organisational renewal to ensure excellent mix of new thinking and deep knowledge.

<h3>First Australian Carpet Manufacturer to achieve Climate Active Carbon Neutral Organisation Status</h3>

Taking real climate action as an organisation means voluntarily going above and beyond current regulations to achieve net zero carbon emissions. At Godfrey Hirst, we do. Godfrey Hirst Australia has achieved Climate Active Carbon Neutral organisation status and are proud to be the first Australian carpet manufacturer to do so. Furthermore, Godfrey Hirst New Zealand is also now a carbon neutral organisation.1

Investing in innovation and technology are the hallmarks of Godfrey Hirst, and when it comes to improving existing systems and processes our commitment to excellence is continually at the forefront.

1Godfrey Hirst Australia Pty Ltd and Godfrey Hirst NZ Ltd are ‘carbon neutral’ organisations. This means that those entities purchase and voluntarily retire carbon offsets equivalent to their annual carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from sources within their organisational boundary. For New Zealand, organisational GHG emissions are accounted for in accordance with ISO14064-3:2018.

Combining innovative carpet manufacturing with breakthrough Sorona® polymer technology we've developed triexta carpet.
 
Triexta carpets are made from Sorona® polymer which contains 37 percent renewable plant-based ingredients.

By using renewable, farm grown materials, Sorona® places less reliance on limited natural resources. 

<h3>How triexta carpet is made</h3>
<ol><li>The process begins by harvesting crops.</li>
<li>The natural sugar, or glucose is extracted from the crops, then processed and transformed into Sorona® polymer.</li>
<li>Sorona® polymer is extruded to manufacture triexta yarn, which is then twisted and heat set.</li>
<li>The triexta yarn is made into high performing triexta carpet for your home.</li></ol>

Partly Plant Based Fibre

Manufactured locally in Australia in part from renewable plant-based ingredients.

<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>
