<p>Combining innovative carpet manufacturing with breakthrough Sorona<sup>®</sup> polymer technology we've developed triexta carpet.</p>
<br />
<p>Triexta carpets are made from Sorona<sup>®</sup> polymer which contains 37 percent renewable plant-based ingredients.</p>

<p>By using renewable, farm grown materials, Sorona<sup>®</sup> places less reliance on limited natural resources.</p><br />

<h3>How triexta carpet is made</h3>
<ol><li>The process begins by harvesting crops.</li>
<li>The natural sugar, or glucose is extracted from the crops, then processed and transformed into Sorona<sup>®</sup> polymer.</li>
<li>Sorona<sup>®</sup> polymer is extruded to manufacture triexta yarn, which is then twisted and heat set.</li>
<li>The triexta yarn is made into high performing triexta carpet for your home.</li></ol>
<br>


Partly Plant Based Fibre

Manufactured locally in Australia in part from renewable plant-based ingredients.

<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 retained 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 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.</p>

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.

<p>Level loop pile carpet has all of the loops at a uniform length. It has a distinct texture with low and tight loops.</p>

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

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<h3><strong>A product transparency program</strong></h3>

<p>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:</p>

<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>

<p>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.</p>

<p><img alt="kids playing video games on couch and plush triexta carpet" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/gh/image/upload/v1/apps/gh-web/images/red_list_free-feature-img_001-id-0225810520.jpg" /></p>

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

<ul>
	<li><strong>LBC Red List Free</strong> - Complete ingredient disclosure revealing ZERO Red List chemicals</li>
	<li><strong>LBC Red List Approved</strong> - 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><strong>Declared</strong> - 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><strong>This label addresses three key concerns:</strong></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>
<p><img alt="declare label" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/gh/image/upload/v1690242847/apps/gh-web/images/declare_label-0008.jpg" /></p>

<p><br />
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.</p>

<p>All our wool carpets have insect resistant treatments applied during manufacture. </p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>More information can be found in our carpet care guides.</p>

For unrivalled quality, comfort and design, look no further than Godfrey Hirst and Feltex wool carpets and timber floors.

<p>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.</p>
<p>Wool fibre also deters the growth of dust mites –  the most common single cause of asthma.</p>

Hypoallergenic

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

<p>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!</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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>

<p><strong>Hypoallergenc</strong><br>
Wool carpets are naturally hypoallergenic making them suitable for those with allergies.</p>

<p><strong>Naturally Insulating</strong><br>
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.</p>

<p><strong>Fire Resistance</strong><br>
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.</p>

<p><strong>Stain Resistance</strong><br>
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.</p>

<p><strong>Biodegradable</strong><br />
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.</p>

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

<h2>Using fractal design to create inspiring and relaxing environments.</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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. </p>

<p>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.</p>

Relaxing Floors

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.

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.</p>

Transitions

<h2>Seeking the essence of natural environments</h2>
<p>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. </p>

<p>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.

<h2>Lichen Community, inspired by multi-hued, multi-textured lichens.</h2>

<h2>A carefully curated performance.</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<h2>Create Your Own Canvas With Social Canvas.</h2>
<p>As we come into the world, we are each given a canvas, ready to be painted with our own story. These canvases are not necessarily blank and often bring affordances or limitations, depending on our personal and social circumstances. Even so, it’s up to us what we do with our canvas. When society is equitable and inclusive, we each have the agency to create a completely new story - our own. The Social Canvas collection speaks to the triumph of the human spirit. This collection is a result of a collaboration with ArtLifting, using the work of artist Charlie French as a point of departure.</p>
<h2>Encompassing the triumph of the human spirit.</h2>
<p>Social Canvas serves as a focus point, or artistic accent, to bring the warmth of the human spirit into spaces where we can all feel welcome and supported. Encompassing multiple carpet styles, each viewed as a different canvas, the collection spans chunky and smooth textures, incorporating colourful brushwork and a refined palette.</p>
<p>In pursuit of celebrating artists with disabilities and those experiencing disadvantage in the Oceanic region, our Social Canvas Collection is proud to support genU Arts Programme by providing an annual donation.</p>

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

<h3>Wonders in Wool</h3>
<p>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>Effortless Elegance for Every Season</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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. </p>

<h3>Finest Quality Natural Fibre</h3> 
<p>Feltex wool carpets are made from the finest natural wool fibres which are renewable and biodegradable.</p>
<p>A renewable material, wool is shorn from sheep every 9-12 months and produced by sheep consuming a totally renewable resource - grass.<p>
<p>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.<p>

<h3>Natural Insulation and Humidity Control</h3>
<p>Wool carpet is naturally insulative with humidity control for a comfortable indoor environment, making it cooler in summer and warmer in winter.</p>
<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>
<p>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.</p>

<h3>Luxurious and Hypoallergenic</h3>
<p>Wool carpets are naturally luxurious and hypoallergenic making them both aesthetic and suitable for those with allergies.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Wool fibre also deters the growth of dustmites – the most common single cause of asthma.</p>
