Best Environmental Practice PVC

Best Environmental Practice PVC certified product

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.

Godfrey Hirst’s Metropol hybrid flooring range is now officially Codemark certified in Australia for use in internal wet areas like powder rooms, laundries, and bathrooms with enclosed shower areas.* 

This certification is the result of rigorous laboratory testing and independent analysis that demonstrates not only that our products are impervious to moisture, but also that the Uniclic® locking systems are precision machined to ensure no moisture can penetrate the joints.

 

*Please refer to the Installation Instructions available on our website for full details of the requirements for installation of Metropol hybrid flooring in wet areas. Codemark certification relates to the certification of a ‘performance solution’ for the purposes of the Building Code of Australia comprising both hybrid flooring and perimeter sealing products as detailed in the Installation Instructions. Please note that Godfrey Hirst Metropol hybrid flooring is not suitable for installation in wet areas with floor wastes or falls to waste.

Embossing has been stylised to meet each individual colour and design to provide an authentic touch and feel on your floor. 

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.

Textured Loop Pile uses loops of varying heights to create unique patterns and interesting textures. The loops ensure a hard-wearing carpet that works well in medium to high-traffic rooms.

<li>Can be used in a random or sequenced design to create textures or patterns</li></ul>

Textured Loop Pile

A warm, welcoming home starts from the ground up, and nothing brings comfort quite like soft, cushioned carpet underfoot. Beyond just looking good, the tactile experience of a soft carpet can have a real impact on how a space feels. That gentle, cloud-like comfort creates a sense of calm and ease, helping to make your home feel like a true retreat.


Our extra soft carpets are specially designed to enhance everyday wellbeing, offering a luxurious underfoot feel that’s perfect for bedrooms, cosy lounges or quiet reading nooks. But softness doesn’t mean you have to compromise. These carpets are engineered to deliver both comfort and long-lasting performance, so you get the best of both worlds, softness where it matters, and durability that stands up to real life.

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>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.

<img alt="kids playing video games on couch and plush triexta carpet" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/gh/image/upload/v1/apps/gh-web/images/red_list_free-feature-img_001-id-0225810520.jpg" />

<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>

Realistic Look

Godfrey Hirst hybrid is more than just tough – it’s beautiful too.

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>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.

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.

Godfrey Hirst offers a range of quality vinyl plank flooring designed and made in Belgium.

When it comes to fashion and design, Belgium has always been on the crossroads of Europe, a good place for new ideas. And the same goes for flooring design: Belgian designers keep an open mind, pick up local evolutions really fast and have the ability to transform new tendencies into a future proof flooring offer with wide appeal. Beautiful and realistic design is key, ranging from pure and more pronounced woods to elegant and more distinctive stones. With colour variations from light to dark and everything in between.

The Belgian designed vinyl plank floors also have great functional features, with the latest research and development into wellness, acoustics and performance. The vinyl plank floors have a soft and warm feel, excel in acoustic comfort and come with an improved protective layer that makes them more scratch, stain and slip resistant.
