<h3>An Australian Story</h3>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<h3>Softness & style, for less</h3>
<p>Create a comfortable and stylish home with a Godfrey Hirst polyester carpet. With the perfect balance of performance and value, polyester is ideal for updating your home interior on a budget.</p>

<h3>Softness</h3>

<p>Polyester carpets offer a velvet like handle, softness and flexibility in both colour and design. This is why polyester has long had a reputation as the softest and most flexible of the synthetic carpets. The inherently bulkier yarns can offer heavy, soft textured carpets that feel cosy and luxurious underfoot.</p>

<h3>Cost-Effective</h3>
<p>Due to the lower cost of raw materials and production, Feltex polyester is a very affordable option.</p>

<h3>Invest Wisely in Your Home</h3>
<p>This fibre type is best suited to low traffic areas within the home. As it is not as resilient as some other more expensive fibres.</p>

<h3>Stain Resistance</h3>
<p>Made from closed -cell fibres, Feltex polyester carpets do not have any open dye sites for stains to adhere to, making them highly stain resistant.</p>

<p>A great value all-rounder, Redbook polyester carpet provides a balance between comfort and durability. With wear, stain and fade resistance as well as softness underfoot, you can get the look you want for less with polyester.</p>
