In a space where people can spend up to one third of their lives, our local design team are focused on using evidence-based design for creating spaces that inspire, induce productivity and build a happy and healthy workforce.

Using flooring to create defined and designated spaces, we believe in fostering agile and adaptive working solutions that encourage social interaction and support positive wellbeing from the ground up.

From biophilic to wayfinding design or solutions for increasing collaboration and creativity, GH Commercial can bring your workplace vision to life.

Workplace

When customers participate in a busy retail environment, they need to be engaged, feel a sense of connection and leave feeling satisfied. It’s a physical experience that, with plenty of data driven science for space optimisation and customer journeys, floorcoverings can play a significant part in. 

Bright colours and bold patterns make the floor a feature to help create an immersive experience. Opting for muted tones can allow products and displays to stand out. Clever use of colour and pattern can direct foot traffic or subliminally create zones guiding customers through a space. Or dynamic, customised floors offer branding opportunities.

With a range of comfortable, reliable and beautiful flooring solutions for large department stores and supermarkets to small boutique retail spaces, we have you covered.

Retail

Public spaces are always on the lookout for flexible flooring solutions to meet customer demands. From bustling sports stadiums, convention and exhibition centres to airports, libraries and other civic spaces, flooring plays an important role in providing comfort, insulation and cohesion.

Able to withstand the demands of heavy foot traffic, our public space flooring solutions can be used to create dynamic spaces within a space and direct the flow of people to where they need to be.

With flooring installed in iconic venues around the world, we’ve got your public space covered.

Public Space

When it comes to hospitality interiors, authenticity and locality are essential in creating a memorable experience for guests as customers are seeking a more personalised touch in their surroundings.

From pubs, clubs and restaurants to hotels and guestrooms, the design for these spaces must find a balance between beauty, functionality, durability and atmosphere. To be authentic, something has to not only look good, but it must be unique and designed for that particular space. With many hospitality spaces opting for a striking custom flooring solution, let our in-house team of textile designers help you achieve your vision in creating an immersive guest experience. Or let us help you get started with our large range of designs and standard stocked products.

Hospitality

With populations still driving demand for inner city living, more people are looking to multi-residential apartments for a home or investment.

Often a multitude of flooring solutions are required for these apartments and vertical villages. These properties need to be a quiet sanctuary for occupants and provide insulation from neighbouring dwellings. 

From carpets that are soft and rich in texture to elegant hard flooring options that invite character and warmth, we have you covered.

Multi Residential

Design in education plays a big role in student and staff well being. Flooring can facilitate both collaborative or focused spaces, and can create improved performance and productivity. From pre-school, K-12 and tertiary alike, our flooring solutions cover all areas of education design, including classrooms, corridors, libraries, common rooms, computer labs, multipurpose spaces and amenities.

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, Australian made products for a healthier, locally sourced option.

Education

Today, the case for patient ease and comfort as a measurable factor in speedier recovery times has been well and truly established, giving architects and designers the opportunity to create beautiful, practical and highly functional healthcare interiors.

Taking design cues from hospitality and home spaces, healthcare environments are increasingly places of residential familiarity. Rooms are modelled on patient’s emotional wellbeing, privacy and comfort.

Without compromising on form or function, see our range of healthcare flooring solutions below.

Healthcare

With an aging population, assisted living facilities and senior living communities are on the rise. Designing a long-term living facility to look after our older loved ones involves striking a careful balance of connecting function and practicality with a beautiful, homely, familiar feel.

Using evidence-based design, we’re dedicated to understanding the unique requirements of senior living spaces, giving peace of mind to residents, families and care giving staff alike. Our flooring solutions are durable, safe and sustainable, featuring the perfect level slip resistance without compromising on cleanability. 

Working with providers of all sizes, we ensure all flooring facets from independent living and assisted living to high-care or special-care spaces are catered for.

<h3>Wonders in Wool</h3>
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.

<h3>Effortless Elegance for Every Season</h3>
As the days grow warmer, transform your home into a sanctuary of refined, effortless cool with Feltex designer wool carpets. While often associated with winter warmth, wool’s remarkable versatility makes it the ultimate choice for all seasons. In spring and summer, wool’s natural temperature-regulating properties work to maintain an ideal indoor climate, keeping your space refreshingly cool even on the hottest days. Its breathable fibres promote air circulation, minimising trapped heat and moisture.
Beyond its climate control benefits, wool absorbs humidity to create a fresh, crisp atmosphere, while its hypoallergenic qualities ensure a healthier, purer air quality. Luxuriously soft yet incredibly durable, wool is a timeless option that harmonises with the ebb and flow of the seasons.
With Feltex wool carpets, you’re not just choosing flooring—you’re investing in year-round elegance, comfort, and an 
 environment that feels as good as it looks. Experience the luxury of nature’s finest with the perfect balance of style and function. 

<h3>Finest Quality Natural Fibre</h3> 
Feltex wool carpets are made from the finest natural wool fibres which are renewable and biodegradable.
A renewable material, wool is shorn from sheep every 9-12 months and produced by sheep consuming a totally renewable resource - grass.
As a natural resource, wool fibre is biodegradable. When wool fibre is disposed of, it will naturally decompose in soil in a matter of months or years, slowly releasing valuable nutrients back into the earth.

<h3>Natural Insulation and Humidity Control</h3>
Wool carpet is naturally insulative with humidity control for a comfortable indoor environment, making it cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
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.
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. 
Because of wool’s natural inbuilt crimp, air is retained in millions of tiny pockets which provide an insulating effect, thus creating a comfortable home environment.

<h3>Luxurious and Hypoallergenic</h3>
Wool carpets are naturally luxurious and hypoallergenic making them both aesthetic and suitable for those with allergies.
Ideal for allergy and asthma sufferers, wool 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 dustmites – the most common single cause of asthma.

<h3>Natural Stain Resistance and Easy Maintenance</h3> 
Wool carpet is a very practical option in terms of cleaning and maintenance. It is naturally resistant to dirt and household stains.

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.

One of the main benefits of Vinyl plank flooring is its acoustic comfort.

Vinyl is resilient, so it reduces reflective walking sound and transmission sound to a very comfortable level. The resilient layer anticipates your body weight, offering you that soft feel underfoot. 

And what’s more, it feels naturally warm too due to great insulating qualities, its temperature remaining comfortable in every season.
