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, facilitates reduced energy use and fewer greenhouse gas emissions during production*. 

*Compared to nylon 6 product

<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>

Partially Plant-Based

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

One of the main benefits of Vinyl plank flooring is its acoustic comfort.

Vinyl is resilient, so it reduces reflective walking sound and transmission sound to a very comfortable level. The resilient layer anticipates your body weight, offering you that soft feel underfoot. 

And what’s more, it feels naturally warm too due to great insulating qualities, its temperature remaining comfortable in every season.

Quiet Underfoot

Quiet underfoot, reducing the noise of footsteps.

A warm home with soft, comfortable carpet can be fantastic for your wellbeing, our extra soft carpets have been designed to create a beautifully soft feel underfoot.

The extra softness is achieved with more filaments in each fibre, this creates what’s known as a low Denier per Filament (DPF) and gives the carpets a beautifully soft feel.

This extra softness doesn’t mean you have to compromise on durability, as the carpet fibres are engineered to combine softness and durability.

Wool carpet is a natural insulator, helping to keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer. Because of wool’s natural inbuilt crimp, air is retained in millions of tiny pockets which provide an insulating effect, thus creating a comfortable environment.

The unique properties of wool react to changes in temperature, absorbing and desorbing significant quantities of moisture from the air to control humidity. 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.

Thermal Insulation and Humidity Control

Wool absorbs moisture in the air and controls humidity for a comfortable environment, making it cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

<h3>Healthy Homes from the Ground Up</h3>
You might have heard of ‘material health’, a term used to describe how healthy a building product is for you and the overall environment.
When it comes to material health, it’s what’s on the inside that matters most.
Leading the way in healthy and environmentally conscious flooring, our triexta , solution dyed nylon and wool carpets are the first residential carpets in Australia to be officially certified Declare® Red List Free.

<h3>What’s the Red List?</h3>
<a href="https://living-future.org/lbc/red-list/">The LBC Red List</a> is a register of manufacturing ingredient ‘worst in class’ such as BPA, PVC, fluorocarbons, added formaldehyde, VOC’s and phthalates. Going further than just the health of your own home, buying a Red List Free product has a positive effect on the greater environment. Chemicals on the Red List have been found to:
<ul>
	<li>Pollute the environment.</li>
	<li>Bio-accumulate up the food chain until they reach toxic concentrations.</li>
	<li>Harm construction and factory workers.</li>
</ul>
Achieving the Red List Free certification guarantees that a product does not contain Red List chemicals.

<h3>Why it’s important?</h3>
Interior finishes and furnishings can contain Red List pollutants. Acting as a ‘nutrition label’ for building materials, Declare® Red List Free is the gold standard of environmental certification and product transparency.&nbsp; Carpets with the Red List Free certification offer absolute peace of mind for anyone looking to create a healthier, safer and more sustainable home.

<h3>How did we achieve certification?</h3>
To achieve this, we worked with our entire supply chain to identify, source and utilise healthier manufacturing ingredients. The entire chemical composition of the carpets were scrutinised to a threshold of 100-parts-per-million (100ppm); essentially creating a ‘nutrition’ label of ingredients. The result? A Declare™ Red List Free certification on all triexta, solution dyed nylon and wool carpets, the highest and best rating available for material health.&nbsp;

<h3>The nutrition label for building materials</h3>
Declare® Red List Free certified products offer full transparency, providing you with peace of mind that you are selecting a healthy building product for a healthier and safer home. With the transparency of the Declare® Red List Free program, you can make an informed decision to select a floorcovering that creates a safe and healthier home environment.

<h3>The label addresses 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>
	<li>Does it contain toxic ingredients?</li>
</ul>

There are three levels of certification: 
Declared (good) This base level of transparency, while revealing a product’s ingredients, will nevertheless contain some Red List ingredients, which will be highlighted.

<h3>Red List Approved (better)</h3>
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.

<h3>Red List Free (best)</h3>
Complete ingredient disclosure revealing no Red List chemicals at levels at or above 100ppm or 0.01 percent. Our triexta, solution dyed nylon and wool carpets achieve the highest and best Declare® Red List Free certification.

All our wool carpets have insect resistant treatments applied during manufacture. 

The treatment does not stop insects from entering your home and moths/ beetles can build up an immunity and in some areas have developed a tolerance to treatments. The insect deterrent treatment is embedded in the carpet fibre and needs to be ingested by the insect to have an effect and stop further spreading – such that some fibre loss may occur and good housekeeping is essential.

More information can be found in our carpet care guides.

<h3>Buying Australian Made has truly never been more important.</h3> 
During the challenge of covid-19, the team here at Godfrey Hirst is continuing to work closely with customers to provide strong business continuity and ongoing support, as well as supporting our local community.

With multiple manufacturing facilities in Geelong, a broadloom distribution centre in Laverton, a state of the art palletised distribution centre in Truganina, and State sales offices nationwide, when you buy a Godfrey Hirst Carpet you are supporting over 450 Australians and their families. 

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.

Today, thousands of metres of carpet are produced in our state-of-the-art Australian facilities every day, and both our carpet and hard flooring set the safe, comfortable and beautiful interior foundation for millions of homes. 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 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.

Through local design, manufacturing, and distribution and sales offices across Australia, we provide locally based product support and our industry leading knowledgeable sales teams in every State. Our longstanding relationships with flooring retail channels, commercial contractors, architects and interior designers, allow us to supply to consumers throughout Australia high quality Australian and New Zealand made wool, synthetic and triexta carpets along with world class hard flooring solutions in hybrid, timber, laminate and vinyl.

Sustainability also remains at the core of our business. We actively seek out the highest standards in product design seeking to minimise negative impacts on the environment at all stages of the product lifecycle.

Working hard to supply flooring that meets exacting environmentally responsible standards, Godfrey Hirst are delighted to display another globally trusted trademark. We are proud to now have a range of PEFC CoC certified products.

What Does PEFC Do? 
The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC™) is a leading international non-profit organisation whose mission is to promote sustainable forest management through independent third-party accreditation. Taking local conditions and priorities into consideration, PEFC works to protect forests both locally and globally, forming partnerships with multiple stakeholders around the world to boost their collective impact.

Through the PEFC Chain of Custody (CoC) certification, Responsible Wood (the national governing body for PEFC in Australia) promote best practice throughout the entire supply chain to make certain all products from forests are produced to the highest ecological, cultural, ethical and environmental standards. This allows us to actively track every log from forest to floor, guaranteeing that the PEFC certified timber in these products has been responsibly harvested through PEFC. In providing forest owners of all sizes, with the means to demonstrate their responsible practices, PEFC empowers consumers and companies to buy sustainably.

Why Choose PEFC certified products? 
Responsible forest management is critical for the global environment, population and economy. Along with supplying food, energy and renewable raw materials, forests promote biodiversity by giving habitats and shelter, and provide livelihoods for millions of people worldwide. Key to the cultural identity of local communities, forests mitigate the effects of climate change, capturing and storing carbon to remove volumes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In fact, even after a tree has been harvested to be used in construction materials or to make furniture, it will continue to store carbon for its useful life.

This third-party verification confirms our commitment to developing healthier interior spaces and green building standards, with the globally trusted PEFC label helping customers confidently choose sustainable flooring.

An extension of the Australian Carpet Classification Scheme (ACCS), the Environmental Certification Scheme tests carpet to ensure they meet stringent environmental performance standards such as volatile organic compound emissions, noise reduction and thermal insulation properties (For more information visit: <a href="https://www.carpetinstitute.com.au/environmental/">www.carpetinstitute.com.au/environmental/</a>)

As a prerequisite for the ECS program, carpet manufacturers must comply with the Code of Practice for Environmental Management (including performance criteria for raw materials, the manufacturing process, the carpet during its use and at the end of its life).

The ECS program has four levels of certification with Level 4 being the highest standard. This stringent program is a Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) approved third party, with Green Star Level 4 certification providing maximum Green Star points.

Thanks to the permanent stain protection 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 carpet has 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 thanks to the breakthrough triexta fibre that is engineered to be negatively charged, naturally repelling spills to prevent stains.

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