Godfrey Hirst Carpet & Flooring  - Godfrey Hirst Residential

Your carpet is protected against fading to provide long lasting colour. The colour is locked into the fibre so you can open up your home and let the sun shine in!

Our carpets meet Australian Carpet Classification Scheme (ACCS) standards for lightfastness. However, carpets like all other dyed textiles, will slowly lose colour over time when exposed to direct sunlight.

Carpet should be protected from prolonged periods of direct sunlight with curtains, blinds, shades or awnings and furniture moved periodically to expose all areas evenly.

Fade Resistance

Highbury Place has been designed to bring the perfect balance of comfort and durability to your floor. Wear, stain and fade resistance combines with softness for a practical and stylish carpet.

<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.

Australian Made

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.

Extra Soft

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