Bedrooms, guest rooms: 6.5mm SPC Hybrid (great value)
Feature areas, entries: Herringbone — instant wow factor

Apartments: 9.5mm SPC Hybrid — built-in acoustic underlay
Rentals & investment properties: 6.5mm SPC Hybrid — affordable, durable, tenant-proof

Flooring tips from the Hippo Floors team.

Here are our top 3 tips to help you get the best result from your new floors.

1

Always order samples first

Colours look different on screens vs in your home. Order free samples and check them against your walls, cabinets, and lighting at different times of day. Morning light and afternoon light can make the same floor look like two completely different colours.

2

Measure twice, order once

Measure your total floor area and add 8–10% for wastage on straight-lay installs, or 15% for herringbone. Running short mid-install is stressful and can delay your project by weeks if stock needs to be reordered.

3

Don't skip subfloor prep

A flat, clean, dry subfloor is the single most important factor in how good your floor looks and lasts. Spend the time and money on levelling compound and moisture testing before a single plank goes down. Skipping this step is the most common cause of flooring problems.

Shop with confidence at Hippo Floors.

Every product we sell is backed by a manufacturer warranty, shipped from our Brisbane warehouse, and supported by a team that actually knows flooring. We're not a marketplace — we stock what we sell and stand behind every order.

Whether you're a homeowner tackling a weekend DIY project or a builder fitting out a new development, we make the process simple. Browse the range, order samples, get a quote, and buy — all online, all direct. No middlemen, no inflated pricing, no runaround.

Absolutely love the flooring

“The quality exceeded my expectations. Installation was straightforward and the finished result looks incredible. Would highly recommend to anyone renovating.”

Best value for money

“Compared dozens of options and nothing came close to the value here. SPC flooring is durable, waterproof, and looks like real timber. Couldn't be happier.”

Great product, fast delivery

“Ordered on Monday, arrived Wednesday. The planks are solid and the click system makes installation a breeze. Took me a weekend for the whole living room.”

Really happy

“Really happy with the selection of flooring, made it hard to choose! Floor came undamaged and looks even better in person. Will definitely use them again.”

Great Flooring

“Great flooring & wonderful service. Definitely recommend!!”

Amazing experience

“Amazing experience with Hippo Floors! Couldn’t be happier with how our floors turned out!”

Ordering again soon

“Ordered the hybrid SPC in the ash grey colour and it arrived faster than expected. Packaging was solid, no damage. Laid it myself over a long weekend and it clicked together really easily. Looks amazing, my partner couldn't believe we did it ourselves. Will be ordering for the second bedroom soon.”

Highly Recommend

“Had a few questions before ordering and Jordan got back to me same day with actually useful answers. Ended up going with the herringbone SPC for our entryway and it's a showstopper. Highly recommend.”

Flooring quality is genuinely good

“Third time ordering from Hippo Floors now. Prices are the best I've found online and the flooring quality is genuinely good. Had one plank arrive with a slight chip on an edge, sent a photo and they sorted it out no drama.”

Would buy again

“Good range, decent prices, fast shipping to regional QLD which I didn't expect. Took off one star only because the colour looked slightly different on my screen vs in person, but honestly once it was down I was happy with it. Would buy again.”

Great product

“Renovating our entire ground floor and went with Hippo Floors after getting quotes from a few places. Saved a decent chunk going direct online and the product is exactly what they describe. Installation team they referred us to was great too.”
