<h3>We Have Something Exciting to Declare.</h3>

In a marketplace increasingly focused on environmental considerations and issues around sustainability, Godfrey Hirst are incredibly proud to have products officially approved Declare® LBC Red List Free.

The International Living Future Institute (ILFI), and local affiliate the Living Future Institute of Australia (LFIA), are organisations committed to driving sustainable change in the Australian Built environment through the development of leading edge programs, that are designed to radically change our approach to building and construction.

Predicated on creating a healthier built environment, the Declare® program delivers clear, unambiguous information about building material specifications. Participating manufacturers are required to disclose a Product’s entire constituent chemical composition to a threshold of 100-parts-per-million; essentially creating a ‘nutrition’ label of ingredients.

<h3>A product transparency program</h3>

Each Declare® label is compared against a list of worst-inclass materials, better known as the Red List. Chemicals on the Red List can pose an increased risk of:

<ul>
	<li>Polluting the environment</li>
	<li>Bio-accumulation of contaminants progressing up the food chain</li>
	<li>Negative health implications for factory personnel, construction industry workers and building occupants</li>
</ul>

Aware of our role in developing products that homeowners can comfortably put in their homes, we worked with our entire supply chain to identify, source and utilise the healthiest possible manufacturing ingredients. When we were confident our products met the stringent sustainability and toxic free chemical standards, we applied for LFIA Declare® approval.

<h3>The Declare® initiative has three declaration statuses:</h3>

<ul>
	<li>LBC Red List Free - Complete ingredient disclosure revealing ZERO Red List chemicals</li>
	<li>LBC Red List Approved - 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</li>
	<li>Declared - This base level of transparency, while revealing a product’s ingredients, will nevertheless contain some Red List ingredients, which will also be highlighted in orange</li>
</ul>

<h3>This label addresses three 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>
</ul>
<img alt="declare label" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/gh/image/upload/v1690242847/apps/gh-web/images/declare_label-0008.jpg" />

 
Each of our products are individually approved and the label can be downloaded from the product page and please <a href="https://www.godfreyhirst.com/au/support">contact us</a> if you have any questions.

<h3>ACCS Ratings Labels</h3>
When shopping for carpet, you can have complete confidence in ACCS ratings as the scheme is administered by the Carpet Institute of Australia. Testing and classification are undertaken by independent and impartial experts.

Our carpets are tested and given a star rating out of six stars, based on performance. The more stars the better the quality of carpet. Rated in accordance with its suitability for use in varying traffic levels in residential homes from light, medium, heavy to extra heavy duty.

 

<h3>Residential Carpets 6 Star Classification System</h3>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Room / Foot Traffic</th>
<th>Rating</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Bedroom with light traffic flow</td>
<td>Residential Light Duty 1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Living room / entertainment area with light to medium traffic flow</td>
<td>Residential Medium Duty 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A hallway or entertainment area with heavy traffic flow</td>
<td>Residential Heavy Duty 3 or 4</td></tr>
 <tr>
<td>Areas with extra heavy traffic flow</td>
<td>Residential Extra Heavy Duty 5 or 6</td>
</tr>
</table>


The ratings table is an indication of the minimum quality of carpet required for an area. However more stars, the better it will perform and look better for longer. Buying the highest quality carpet you can afford will let you enjoy your carpet for as long as possible.

Each carpet is also tested as to its suitability for stairs. As carpet installed on stairs is subject to very concentrated wear, suitability for stairs requires a minimum residential rating of heavy duty (3*) rating, which can be found on the label as a stair icon.

<h3>Bevel and Micro-bevel Edge</h3>
A bevelled edge has a distinctive V groove that emphasizes the uniqueness of each individual plank. A smooth edge finish that offers a very realistic plank look, the soft slope blends into the floor for a subtle effect.
 
<h3>Pressed Bevel</h3>
The bevel is pressed into the surface, maintaining the woodgrain, colour and structure of each plank. 
 
<h3>Square Edge</h3>
For a super sleek seamless finish, square edge profile planks have been cut to exactly 90 degrees for an ultra-flat contemporary design.

Hard Flooring Profiles

This carpet will stay beautiful longer thanks to its durable fibre. It is resilient and will continue to bounce back into shape after vacuuming, even after years of foot traffic, preserving the beauty and softness of the carpet.

Wear Resistance

Durable fibre that will bounce back into shape after vacuuming, even after years of foot traffic.

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.

The 4-metre width carpet allows for less joins to maximise coverage and installation efficiency.

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.

As one of Australia’s largest manufacturers and exporters of residential and commercial carpets, Godfrey Hirst produces thousands of metres of carpet in state-of-the-art Australian facilities every day.

<h3>An Australian Story</h3>

Our Australian history spans back to 1865, when the Victorian Woollen and Cloth Manufacturing Company began operations in Geelong and was purchased in the 1890’s by Godfrey Hirst. 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.

Commercially, our customisation capabilities and vast archive of designs are trusted for major projects in all market segments across workspace, retail, hospitality, healthcare, education, public space and multi-residential in Australia, New Zealand and around the world.

Our partnership with the official Australian Made campaign aligns us with Australia’s most trusted, recognised and widely used country of origin symbol, underpinned by a third-party accreditation system that authenticates genuinely Australian products.

Winter Wool Sale

Wool carpet is ideal for allergy and asthma suffers 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.

Hypoallergenic

Wool carpets are naturally hypoallergenic making them suitable for those with allergies.

Your carpet is protected against fading to provide long lasting colour. The colour is locked into the fibre so you can open up your home and let the sun shine in!

Our carpets meet Australian Carpet Classification Scheme (ACCS) standards for lightfastness. However, carpets like all other dyed textiles, will slowly lose colour over time when exposed to direct sunlight.

Carpet should be protected from prolonged periods of direct sunlight with curtains, blinds, shades or awnings and furniture moved periodically to expose all areas evenly.

Fade Resistance

The colour is  locked in carpet fibre so you can open up your home and let the sun shine in.

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.

Hypoallergenc 
Wool carpets are naturally hypoallergenic making them suitable for those with allergies.

Naturally Insulating 
Wool absorbs moisture in the air and controls humidity for a comfortable environment, making it cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Wool carpet can also absorb and desorb significant quantities of moisture from the air to buffer humidity changes in a room.

Fire Resistance 
Wool carpet has natural flame resistant properties due to its ability to char when burnt and not melt like synthetic fibres. It retains heat and starves its surface of air, extinguishing flames.

Stain Resistance 
The wool fibres natural structure consists of overlapping scales, arranged much like roof shingles. These scales inhibit dirt from adhering to the fibre and help fleck it away.
NOTE: eventually the wool will naturally absorb stains so cleaning is best done immediately.

Biodegradable 
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.

Renewable 
A renewable material, wool is shorn from sheep every 9-12 months and produced by sheep consuming a totally renewable resource - grass.

Natural Fibre

The natural beauty of wool stems from the inherent complexity of the fibre itself, evolved to protect sheep, no matter the conditions.
