Godfrey Hirst offers a range of quality vinyl plank flooring designed and made in Belgium.

When it comes to fashion and design, Belgium has always been on the crossroads of Europe, a good place for new ideas. And the same goes for flooring design: Belgian designers keep an open mind, pick up local evolutions really fast and have the ability to transform new tendencies into a future proof flooring offer with wide appeal. Beautiful and realistic design is key, ranging from pure and more pronounced woods to elegant and more distinctive stones. With colour variations from light to dark and everything in between.

The Belgian designed vinyl plank floors also have great functional features, with the latest research and development into wellness, acoustics and performance. The vinyl plank floors have a soft and warm feel, excel in acoustic comfort and come with an improved protective layer that makes them more scratch, stain and slip resistant.

With an advanced waterproof core, our Waterproof flooring goes beyond standard spill protection, locking out moisture from the inside out.

</h3>

 Uniclic® is a revolutionary system for installing hybrid and laminate floors without using glue. The watertight locking system is precision machined to ensure no moisture can penetrate the joints. The planks can be clicked together simply, thanks to the ingenious shape of the tongue and groove.

</h3>

 A waterproof coating is applied during the manufacturing process to create a sealed, waterproof surface layer. This specialised coating forms a protective barrier over the product, preventing moisture from penetrating the surface and helping to guard against spills, stains and everyday water exposure.

<h3>

</h3>

 The waterproof core is engineered to be inherently waterproof, made from a dense, non-porous material that does not absorb moisture. This solid construction forms a reliable barrier against water, meaning spills and humidity won’t seep through or cause damage. Its built-in waterproof properties help ensure long-lasting performance and stability, even in moisture-prone areas.

What is an EPD?


 EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) is a multipage document describing the environmental impacts – in particular climate impacts – of a product based on a life cycle assessment (LCA). It is created by reference to a LCA based on the manufacturer’s processes for sourcing raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, use and disposal of the product, using internationally recognised standards like ISO 14025 and EN 15804. After a rigorous independent review process of the data, methods and conclusions, the EPD is submitted to a program operator for publication. As products and manufacturing processes evolve, the EPD is updated, usually every 5 years, for significant changes.


 A key component of a published EPD is the global warming potential (GWP) figure, expressed in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per unit (meter squared for flooring) or kg CO2-e / m2. A lower GWP figures means that the life cycle of the product, including its manufacture, have a lower contribution to global warming; whereas a high GWP figure means a greater contribution to global warming.


 For building products such as flooring, there is often a focus on the ‘embodied carbon’ in a product represented by the ‘A1 – A3’ component of the total GWP figure, being the greenhouse gas emissions associated with raw materials, transport and manufacturing.


 An EPD serves to provide valuable transparency to the public regarding the environmental impacts of building products and in particular their climate impacts. They inform the environmental evaluation of building products for building certification schemes such as LEED, Green Star, and WELL.


 What are the benefits of an EPD?


 An EPD can contribute to the achievement of credit points under leading green building rating schemes, including Green Building Council of Australia’s Green Star Program, which helps buildings achieve a Green Star rating.


 They also assist in accounting for minimising the embodied carbon association with construction and support more informed decision making about the environmental impacts of construction materials including flooring.


 Our Commitment


 Our EPD-certified hard flooring is manufactured with care - using responsibly sourced materials and efficient production processes -to minimise environmental impact while maintaining the highest quality and durability.
