Innovation
Godfrey Hirst offer a comprehensive suite of flooring. From luxurious Hycraft wool carpets, to family friendly solution dyed nylon, innovative triexta or a host of hard floor choices, including timber, hybrid, vinyl plank and laminate, we have the best range of carpet and flooring to suit every home, budget and lifestyle.
Innovation drives our sustainability mission and one such innovation is housed at out Plant 5 tufting facility in North Geelong – a machine that removes remnants of yarn from their cores and re-introduces them into the tufting process.
With similar versions used in the fabric making industry, a core stripping machine is designed specifically for the removal of yarn from its cylindrical cardboard core (also called a cone or tube).
As a fully automated system, it ensures our manufacturing process efficiently uses as much yarn as possible, preventing it from becoming waste and as such, diverting it from landfill.
