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.

Quiet Underfoot

Quiet underfoot, reducing the noise of footsteps.

A warm home with soft, comfortable carpet can be fantastic for your wellbeing, our extra soft carpets have been designed to create a beautifully soft feel underfoot.

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

This extra softness doesn’t mean you have to compromise on durability, as the carpet fibres are engineered to combine softness and durability.

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 retained in millions of tiny pockets which provide an insulating effect, thus creating a comfortable environment.

The unique properties of wool react to changes in temperature, absorbing and desorbing significant quantities 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.

Thermal Insulation and Humidity Control

Wool absorbs moisture in the air and controls humidity for a comfortable environment, making it cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

<h3>Healthy Homes from the Ground Up</h3>
You might have heard of ‘material health’, a term used to describe how healthy a building product is for you and the overall environment.
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, our triexta , solution dyed nylon and wool carpets are the first residential carpets in Australia to be officially certified Declare® Red List Free.

<h3>What’s the Red List?</h3>
<a href="https://living-future.org/lbc/red-list/">The LBC Red List</a> is a register of manufacturing ingredient ‘worst in class’ such as BPA, PVC, fluorocarbons, added formaldehyde, VOC’s and phthalates. Going further than just the health of your own home, buying a Red List Free product has a positive effect on the greater environment. Chemicals on the Red List have been found to:
<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.</li>
</ul>
Achieving the Red List Free certification guarantees that a product does not contain Red List chemicals.

<h3>Why it’s important?</h3>
Interior finishes and furnishings can contain Red List pollutants. Acting as a ‘nutrition label’ for building materials, Declare® Red List Free is the gold standard of environmental certification and product transparency.&nbsp; Carpets with the Red List Free certification offer absolute peace of mind for anyone looking to create a healthier, safer and more sustainable home.

<h3>How did we achieve certification?</h3>
To achieve this, we worked with our entire supply chain to identify, source and utilise healthier manufacturing ingredients. The entire chemical composition of the carpets were scrutinised to a threshold of 100-parts-per-million (100ppm); essentially creating a ‘nutrition’ label of ingredients. The result? A Declare™ Red List Free certification on all triexta, solution dyed nylon and wool carpets, the highest and best rating available for material health.&nbsp;

<h3>The nutrition label for building materials</h3>
Declare® Red List Free certified products offer full transparency, providing you with peace of mind that you are selecting a healthy building product for a healthier and safer home. 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.

<h3>The label addresses key concerns:</h3>
<ul>
	<li>Where does a product originate?</li>
	<li>What is it made of?</li>
	<li>Where does it end up at the end of its life?</li>
	<li>Does it contain toxic ingredients?</li>
</ul>

There are three levels of certification: 
Declared (good) This base level of transparency, while revealing a product’s ingredients, will nevertheless contain some Red List ingredients, which will be highlighted.

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

<h3>Red List Free (best)</h3>
Complete ingredient disclosure revealing no Red List chemicals at levels at or above 100ppm or 0.01 percent. Our triexta, solution dyed nylon and wool carpets achieve the highest and best Declare® Red List Free certification.

All our wool carpets have insect resistant treatments applied during manufacture. 

The treatment does not stop insects from entering your home and moths/ beetles can build up an immunity and in some areas have developed a tolerance to treatments. The insect deterrent treatment is embedded in the carpet fibre and needs to be ingested by the insect to have an effect and stop further spreading – such that some fibre loss may occur and good housekeeping is essential.

More information can be found in our carpet care guides.

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.

Working hard to supply flooring that meets exacting environmentally responsible standards, Godfrey Hirst are delighted to display another globally trusted trademark. We are proud to now have a range of PEFC CoC certified products.

What Does PEFC Do? 
The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC™) is a leading international non-profit organisation whose mission is to promote sustainable forest management through independent third-party accreditation. Taking local conditions and priorities into consideration, PEFC works to protect forests both locally and globally, forming partnerships with multiple stakeholders around the world to boost their collective impact.

Through the PEFC Chain of Custody (CoC) certification, Responsible Wood (the national governing body for PEFC in Australia) promote best practice throughout the entire supply chain to make certain all products from forests are produced to the highest ecological, cultural, ethical and environmental standards. This allows us to actively track every log from forest to floor, guaranteeing that the PEFC certified timber in these products has been responsibly harvested through PEFC. In providing forest owners of all sizes, with the means to demonstrate their responsible practices, PEFC empowers consumers and companies to buy sustainably.

Why Choose PEFC certified products? 
Responsible forest management is critical for the global environment, population and economy. Along with supplying food, energy and renewable raw materials, forests promote biodiversity by giving habitats and shelter, and provide livelihoods for millions of people worldwide. Key to the cultural identity of local communities, forests mitigate the effects of climate change, capturing and storing carbon to remove volumes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In fact, even after a tree has been harvested to be used in construction materials or to make furniture, it will continue to store carbon for its useful life.

This third-party verification confirms our commitment to developing healthier interior spaces and green building standards, with the globally trusted PEFC label helping customers confidently choose sustainable flooring.
