<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>
</ul>

<h3>Professional installation is a must</h3>

<p>It is important that all carpet is professionally installed in accordance with the Australian Standards Association Carpet Installation Recommendations AS2455-1995 and the Godfrey Hirst Carpet Installation guidelines.</p>

<p>If you don't have carpet installed correctly it can void your guarantee.</p>

<p> </p>

<h3>What else should I consider?</h3>

<ul>
	<li>
	<p>Yes, you have enough carpet for your rooms and hallways, but do you need a bit more? We recommend that you keep the future in mind and purchase some extra carpet to update area such as stairs and any heavily trafficked or damaged areas in the years to come. You can also keep left over carpet to bind and make into mats.</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>Don't forget underlay. Carpet should be installed on new underlay that is compatible with the quality and use of your new carpet.</p>
	</li>
</ul>

<h3>Preparing your home </h3>

<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>
