Farm to Floor Designer Guide

<p>Over the last two decade, the floor covering industry is being inundated by more new technology and styling trends than ever. Products, construction, styling and installation technologies are changing so fast that it is difficult to keep up with the changes. Of all building materials, floor coverings of all kinds are changing most, and attitudes about floor coverings are changing, as well. </p>

<p>After many years of extensive research and development, homeowners now have more choice when it comes to choosing a hard floor for their home. In fact, due to these technological advances in hard flooring, you can barely tell the difference between solid timber floors and engineered timber flooring .</p>

<p>Twenty years ago, if you wanted to install hard flooring in your home, you could choose between solid wood or sheet vinyl. Nowadays, engineered timber give homeowners more options, greater performance, and more flexibility within their budget. </p>

<p>Engineered timber flooring is a layered product  made of 100% wood that looks and feels like solid flooring. The difference? It can be easier to install and less prone to seasonal movement, cracking, and warping than its solid counterparts. </p>

<p>When you buy a product from the Godfrey Hirst Timber collection, you’re buying an engineered timber floor straight out of the box. The product has beautiful knots and grains in it, and it has a lovely variation of colours in each plank, just like you’d get with solid timber. It is a completely finished product down to the many layers of polyurethane, and it can be installed in a day compared with solid timber which can take months.<br />
 <br />
Some people are surprised to learn that engineered timber really is timber. The top layer is real European oak which has been sustainably forested and harvested. Every plank is covered in Wearguard®, a hardy seven-coat polyurethane system that protects it from everyday wear and tear. Choosing engineered timber flooring over solid timber isn’t a compromise; in fact, in many ways it’s a better option.</p>

<p>For more information, view our range of <a href="https://www.godfreyhirst.com/nz/products?type=HF&amp;subType=engineered_timber_hf">Engineered Timber</a> flooring.</p>

Getting the look of timber has never been easier!

Walking On Solid Ground

<p>Laminate flooring combines the authentic look of timber with many practical advantages and a great price. Manufacturers have made such progress with digital printing and in-register embossing, which had become much harder to tell the difference between timber and laminate flooring.</p>

<p>The technology around photographic resolution and application of design has improved to the point where it is difficult to tell the difference between timber and laminate flooring. The embossing (stamping) process provides real texture on the surface and follows the grain and knot structure, adding ultimate realism to laminate floors. </p>

<p>The biggest benefit of laminate is its performance. Its protective top layer makes it very robust which helps with fading, wear and tear, and scratching. Laminate is very difficult to dent or damage. If you drop a pan on it, if you have a dog with claws, if it’s in a high-traffic area, or if the space gets a lot of sun, laminate performs much better than timber. It has been designed to handle a lot so if you have an active lifestyle, laminate could be a better option than timber.</p>

<p>Laminate can now be installed in wet areas too. Advancement in technology has evolved with ranges that also contain waterproof surface treatments that allow for use in your kitchen, bathroom and laundry. The advantage of this approach is a truly a stress-free flooring alternative! It also provides a more consistent look throughout the entire house, which often results in a more spacious looking home. On the other hand, Timber flooring is particularly susceptible to the effects of water, and when spill happens, liquid must be wipe or mop as quickly as possible. </p>

<p>Product developments have improved the look and feel of laminate, making it a more authentic option to have in the home. People love the timber ‘look’ because every plank is different, and its knots, patterns, and colour variations make it feel authentic. But technology has improved the design and realism of laminate. As a result, laminate is now a more accessible and affordable alternative to timber flooring, without compromising on look.</p>

<p>Sustainability is central to the production of Godfrey Hirst laminate. In fact, all Godfrey Hirst hard flooring products are manufactured under a quality and environmental system certified as complying with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, as well as the VOC emissions criteria required for air quality.<br />

<h3>Healthy Homes From The Ground Up</h3>

<p>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, <a href="/products?type=CPT&amp;subType=triexta_cpt">Godfrey Hirst Triexta carpets</a> are the first residential carpets in New Zealand to be officially certified Declare™ Red List Free.</p>

<h3>What’s the Red List?</h3>

<p>The Red List is a register of manufacturing ingredient ‘nasties’ such as BPA, PVC, fluorocarbons, added formaldehyde, VOC’s and phthalates. Achieving the <a href="/features/red-list-free">Red List Free certification</a> guarantees that Godfrey Hirst Triexta carpets contain ZERO Red List chemicals.</p>

<h3>Why it’s important?</h3>

<p>Interior finishes and furnishings can contain Red List pollutants that have been medically associated with a range of health issues.  Acting as a ‘nutrition label’ for building materials, Declare™ Red List Free is the gold standard of environmental certification and product transparency.  Carpets with the Red List Free certification offer absolute peace of mind for anyone looking to create a healthier, safer and more sustainable home.</p>

<h3>How did we achieve certification?</h3>

<p>To achieve this, we worked with our entire supply chain to identify, source and utilise healthier manufacturing ingredients.<br />
The entire chemical composition of Godfrey Hirst triexta carpets was scrutinised to a threshold of 100-parts-per-million; essentially creating a ‘nutrition’ label of ingredients.<br />
The result? Absolutely no Red List chemicals used and the highest Red List Free certification on all Godfrey Hirst Triexta carpets.</p>

<h3>The nutrition label for building materials</h3>

<p>Declare™ Red List Free certified products offer full transparency revealing ZERO Red List chemicals, providing you with peace of mind that you are selecting a healthy building product for a healthier and safer home.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<h3>There are three levels of certification:</h3>

<h3><em>Declared (good)</em></h3>

<p>This base level of transparency, while revealing a product’s ingredients, will nevertheless contain some Red List ingredients, which will be highlighted.</p>

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

<p>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.</p>

<h3><em>Red List Free (best)</em></h3>

<p>Complete ingredient disclosure revealing ZERO Red List chemicals.</p>

<p>All Godfrey Hirst triexta carpets achieve the best Red List Free certification.</p>

<h3><a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/gh/image/upload/v1/products/024758/docs/Declare/label.pdf">Godfrey Hirst Triexta Residential Carpet (A001) Declare label</a>.</h3>

<p>Applicable to: Inspirational, Pacific View, Royal Charm, Summertones, Unwind, Winter Charm, Winter Flair and Winter Garden.</p>

<h3><a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/gh/image/upload/v1/products/022562/docs/Declare/label.pdf">Godfrey Hirst Triexta Residential Carpet (A002) Declare label</a>.</h3>

<p>Applicable to: Luxury Appeal, New Sunrise, Sheer Wonder, Soft Embrace and Velvet Appeal.</p>

<p>The label addresses three key concerns:</p>

<p><em>Where does a product originate?<br />
What is it made of?<br />
Where does it end up at the end of its life?</em><br /><br />
Going further than just the health of your own home, buying a <a href="/features/red-list-free">Red List Free</a> product has a positive effect on the greater environment. Chemicals on the Red List have been found to:</p>

<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.<br />
	 </li>

<p>Don't forget to get yourself ready when it's time for the carpet to arrive. </p>

<ul><li>Make sure you have made arrangements for the take up and disposal of your old carpet.</li>
	<li>You'll also need to shift your furniture out of the way to allow the carpet to be installed.</li>
	<li>Ensure that you can provide the easiest access for your carpet delivery.</li>
	<li>If the outside area is muddy, it's a great idea to provide an area for cleaning shoes.</li>
	<li>If you are laying carpet in a new house check that it is ready to go i.e. the power is on, the floor is clean, painted surfaces are dry, tiling is complete etc.</li>
</ul><h3>Putting the carpet in</h3>

<p>The big day is here. The carpet has arrived, and it is ready to transform your home. How do you make sure it is installed correctly? </p>

<p>1. First things first. Check the underlay, trims, colour and style are what you have purchased. No point getting it all installed correctly if it is the wrong carpet! </p>

<p>2. Now for the skills and artistry of the carpet layer. They should do the following: </p>

<ul><li>All carpets should be power stretched, otherwise bubbling and wrinkling will occur.</li>
	<li>Seam adhesive must be used for all seams.</li>
	<li>Carpet pile should run in the same direction throughout the house, sweeping towards the main entrance.</li>
	<li>Generally seams should run in the same direction as most foot traffic.</li>
	<li>On stairways the pile should sweep down.</li>
	<li>Extra, hidden carpet should be folded back at the top and bottom of stairs so that as the edges of the tread are worn, the carpet can be moved to hide the wear.</li>
</ul><p>3. The carpet layer has finished and, at first glance, it looks great. You need to check it over though, just to be sure. Before the carpet layer leaves your property inspect the laid carpet for faults and check that no damage has been caused during installation.</p>

<h3>After laying </h3>

<p>After your carpet is laid, vacuum lightly and frequently in the first week to remove surface lint dust and fluff.</p>

<p>Accessorise to get the look you desire and enjoy your fantastic floor covering!</p>

Sketch Effect

### Using fractal design to create inspiring and relaxing environments.
Seemingly random shapes and forms found in nature often appear haphazard. But upon closure inspection, there is a structure underlying these natural arrangements. And as we look closer and closer, the patterns repeat over and over. These are fractals. 
In basing design on the stress-reductive quality found in fractals, the transdisciplinary design team of 13&9 Design, Fractals Research, and Mohawk Group are tapping into our deep-seated desire to see patterns, to connect to nature and to have more inspiring and relaxing environments in which we live and work. 

Fractals are the building blocks of many of nature’s patterns and have been scientifically proven to reduce stress and so provide benefits to physical health. This visual language is the basis for Relaxing Floors, a modular system designed by 13&9 in collaboration with Fractals Research and Mohawk Group. Relaxing Floors is the culmination of art, science and human-centered design based on fractal patterns. Utilising fractals gives our eyes a break from the digital world and delivers the essence of nature to the contract build environment


Relaxing Floors

New builds, renovations and fit-outs must address a growing number of student needs and maximise learning potential. From the front door to the classroom, good interior design is linked to better student achievement and engagement, and can even improve student retention, test scores, grades, and graduation rates.
 
Mix and match different flooring types and colours to create designated zones, direct flow of foot traffic, or simply incorporate school branding with our custom capabilities. Presenting practical features like acoustic performance, comfort, low VOCs and safety underfoot, our education flooring solutions include Declare™ Red List Free, New Zealand/Australian made products for a healthier, locally sourced option.

### An exploration of lifestyle transitions
We live in an era of unprecedented change, of ever evolving technological and design innovation, a virtual world where the sky is the limit. As digital nomads, we can transition from the urban office to a rural haven and onwards to the outer reaches of the coastline, experiencing our work morph into play. A remote global lifestyle within a wandering world.


Transitions

### Seeking the essence of natural environments
Owls have captured the imagination for centuries. Designed by Jason F. McLennan in collaboration with Mohawk Group, the Owls Collection captures the essence of these birds of prey through colour and patterning. Inspired by their plumage, mottled shades of black, brown, tan and grey take flight as distinctive, yet versatile commercial carpet planks across two patterns - Feather and Flight. A stylised visual and simple texture create intriguing, coordinating combinations.

### An expansion of the award wining Nutopia Collection	
Our ongoing quest for sustainable innovation delivers Nutopia 2.0, an expansion of the award-winning carpet plank system inspired by the urban fabric of our lives. 
As we consider how humankind coexists with buildings, streets and other infrastructure, we must also consider how we as humans coexist with nature. Our Pattern Perfect precision tufting platform brings to life three new styles that double down on a commitment to responsible manufacturing practices. 
At the intersection of design and sustainability, Nutopia 2.0 embodies our commitment to dematerialisation and a more restorative, carbon neutral future. A collaboration with Gensler, serving as product design consultant, we bring you the Nutopia 2.0 collection. 

**Three Tile System** 
Nutopia 2.0 is designed to transition across the floor or create defined areas in the built environment. Urban Fringe II, Urban Passage II, and Urban Field II’s progressive colour composition works together as a dynamic system or separately, depending on the desired configuration, end-use and budget. Due to its unique construction and texture, Urban Canvas installs separately, ideally suited for large, open spaces.

With our desire to stay in harmony with nature, even when far from it, urban design is increasingly blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor environments. And flooring lays the groundwork for this connection. 
 
Using the principles of biophilic design, the Native Collection sets a soothing foundation in places where people work, live and heal. Inspired by the bark grain of trees native to Australia and New Zealand, the designs transform cold spaces into warm habitats through repetitive organic patterns.
 
This sustained engagement with nature across a vast interior
landscape promotes wellbeing and productivity, as shown by evidence-based design. The collection’s colour palette comprises five natural hues that span three designs – Eucalypt, Ironbark and
Toatoa. Using Pattern Perfect® technology these solution-dyed nylon carpet planks deliver beautiful, durable flooring across all segments. All made and stocked locally, ready to support your project. 
 
From healthcare to education and workplace environments, the Native Collection creates a relaxing refuge for its inhabitants by closing the divide with nature.

### A take on hierarchy & structure
Change your perspective with Visual Edge, a new take on a hierarchy and structure that creates a flowing graphic pattern derived from nature. 
This biophilic hexagonal design comes in two plank styles that layer elements and change scale to guide you through space, similarly to a bird's eye view of the ground below. 
Patterns in a space can shrink or grown in scale to adjust to the changing formats of space in the built environment. 


Visual Edge

Optic Reset is a modular carpet collection that consists of two mid-scale Field of View patterns, and coordinating texture – Shifted Focus, both of which have been created using elements from photography, illustration, and graphic design. Using positive and negative space, creating tonal shifts, and pushing boundaries of abstracted subject matter, Optic Reset allows you to create your own visual narratives with dual styles in shifting colourways of light and dark. The visuals give us cues for our other senses, and they are how we understand the world. And with Optic Reset, interior space can be created with subtle or dramatic views on the floor. 

This concept is illustrative of The Visual Age, where there is visual literacy and creative democracy for all, and we have become fluent in the elements of graphics, photography, design, and art. Social media especially has influenced this, allowing for self-expression and creativity to come together to unite us with a sense of purpose on our collective path.


Optic Reset

### Lichen 1.5 Collection 
Designed by Jason F. McLennan, the founder of the Living Product Challenge, and his team at McLennan Design, the Lichen Collection, is inspired by assemblages of multi-hued, multi-textured lichens and their regenerative role in our ecosystem. 
### 
### An award winning collection, now made locally
Following the success of the Lichen Collection, Lichen 1.5 brings an updated pattern with striking elements, designed with local Australian and New Zealand interiors in mind.
Lichen 1.5 features the same stunning colour palette as the original collection, with shades like Iceland Moss, Orange Sea and Everbloom, designed in a 3 tile system for creating zones within a space.
Made locally in Australia with the latest Pattern Perfect tufting technology, the Lichen Collection is now available faster than ever and like all our Australian made carpet tiles, is Declare Red List Free.


Lichen 1.5

### Lichen Community, inspired by multi-hued, multi-textured lichens. 
Meet Lichen Community, designed in collaboration with McLennan Design, a modular carpet collection that connects us to a more restorative future. Inspired by expansive communities of lichens that grow together on bark and rock formations, playing a role in our ecosystems, the Lichen Community collection has been designed to provide a refined solution for creating collaborative environments, bringing people together. Rooted in the concept of symbiosis, Lichen Community defines communal spaces through colour and texture. This fresh take on the original Lichen collection offers an additional bark texture to join the popular stone base, serving as ground textures for the multi-hued lichens that grow together in place.


### Biophilic design, locally made
Biophilic design aims to enhance humankind’s innate biological connection with nature, bringing natural elements into interior spaces and mimicking natural patterns. This new collection concentrates on mimicking the growth patterns of real lichens on stone and tree bark, incorporating colours that takes us on a visual journey through the forest, from the floor into the trees with the new warm, bark-grey background and soft, more muted highlights. Drawing from the natural world allows us to create spaces a little more connected to our roots, which can have a profound impact the health and wellbeing of building occupants. 

One of the key features of Lichen Community is its biophilic three-plank system which allows for wayfinding and the creation of unique large-scale installations. By setting the more visually active Macro Bloom II style in a field of the Stone Community of Bark Community style, transitioning between them with Micro Bloom II, resulting in an organic, seamless installation. All four styles can be also used on their own or combined as desired, delivering an infinite variety of organic floorscapes to support biophilic space design. 

Made locally in Australia with the latest Pattern Perfect™ tufting technology, the Lichen Community Collection is now available faster than ever and like all our Australian made carpet tiles, and is Declare Red List Free.


Lichen Community

Responding to human need to reconnect with natural environments, design in healthcare and aged care is moving ever closer towards serenity. Supporting architectural design and interiors, flooring provides powerful assistance in places where people live, work and heal.

### A carefully curated performance.
The lights dim, the curtain opens, and the choreography begins, sequences, steps and movements performed by dancers. In ballet, these sequences are usually very structured and precise, incorporating repeated actions. 
Turn your focus to contemporary dance though, and suddenly the notion of sequence looks very different. It may appear fluid and free-flowing, with movements interpreted by the dancer, yet it too has a structure of its own that helps to tell a story. 
Dance often begins with isolated movements pieced together by a choreographer to create a carefully curated performance. We invite you to explore, arrange, create and merge the Choreography Collection of planks and develop your own cohesive rhythm on the floor.


Choreography

### An organic groundcover for all spaces
Awaken your senses with the down-to-earth comfort, soft textures and bulky yarns of Textural Effects modular planks. This elegant collection features soft organic groundcover visuals with added tactility and humanity to sustain all types of spaces. 
The two plank styles were inspired by woven fabric and handcrafts: Thematic Thread, a tweed pattern with an irregular loomed fabric quality and Tactile Infusion, a larger scale with a cozy, sweater-like textural aesthetic. 


Textural Effects

### A biophilic and design-led collection

Triexta Carpet

Triexta is a high performing, partially plant-based carpet fibre with superior built in stain resistance and durability.

<p>Wool carpet adds unmistakable elegance to interior spaces. The natural beauty of wool stems from the inherent complexity of the fibre itself, evolved to protect sheep, no matter the conditions! That’s why we still wear wool, sleep with wool, insulate with wool and enjoy walking on wool.</p>

<h3>Natural Insulation and Humidity Control</h3>
<p>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 kept in millions of tiny pockets which provide an insulating effect, thus creating a comfortable environment.</p>

<p>The unique properties of wool react to changes in temperature, absorbing and desorbing large qualities 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.</p>

<h3>Hypoallergenic</h3>
<p>Wool carpet is ideal for allergy and asthma sufferers as it does not promote the growth of bacteria, mould and mildew. This reduces the likelihood of spores, mycotoxins and volatile organic compounds from developing in the home, helping to prevent allergies and respiratory problems. Wool fibre also deters the growth of dust mites – the most common single cause of asthma.</p>

<p>Made in Australia and New Zealand, our wool broadloom carpets add unmistakable elegance to interior spaces. The natural beauty of wool stems from the inherent complexity of the fibre itself, evolved to protect sheep, no matter the conditions. </p>

<h3>Natural Insulation and Humidity Control</h3>
<p>Wool is a natural hygroscopic insulator. This means your wool carpet can absorb up to 30% - 40% of its weight in moisture without becoming wet to touch. This reduces the dampness in the air, making your home a drier and healthier place to live.</p>

<p>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. How well your carpet insulates largely depends on how much air it can trap. </p>

Wool Carpet

Made from natural fibres, wool carpet is high quality, warm and luxurious. 

<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>Stain Resistance</strong></h3>
<p>Made from closed-cell fibres, Godfrey Hirst polyester carpets do not have any open dye sites for stains to adhere to, making them stain resistant.</p>
<h3>Softness</h3>
<p>Polyester carpets offer a velvet like handle, softness and flexibility in both colour and design. The inherently bulkier yarns can offer heavy, soft textured carpets that feel cosy and luxurious underfoot.</p>
<h3>Invest Wisely in Your Home </h3>
