The Coastal Blackbutt SPC 6.5mm replicates the beloved look of Australian Blackbutt timber with warm honey tones and authentic grain detail. This is a classic flooring choice that feels right at home in both traditional and contemporary Australian interiors.

Engineered with a waterproof SPC core, this floor is ready for every room in the house. Kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, living areas and even garages. It will not absorb water, swell or warp. The pre-attached 1.5mm IXPE underlay keeps noise levels down and adds a layer of comfort underfoot.

The click lock system makes this a true DIY friendly floor. No messy glue, no nails, just click the planks together over a flat surface. Highly durable with strong scratch and indent resistance for homes with kids and pets.

The Smart Pick When You Want Quality Without Overspending.

Our 6.5mm SPC range gives you the same waterproof, scratch-resistant, click-lock technology as our premium line, just in a slimmer profile that's perfect for bedrooms, living areas, home offices, and rental properties. It installs fast, looks incredible, and handles daily life without flinching. If you're working to a budget or covering a larger area, this is the range that gets the job done without cutting corners on quality.

Common Questions Before You Order.

The 6.5mm profile works brilliantly in bedrooms, living areas, hallways, and home offices, anywhere with standard residential foot traffic. It's also the go-to for investment properties and rental flips because it delivers a premium look at a lower price point. You can install it in wet areas too, since it's fully waterproof, but if you're doing a high-traffic commercial space or a multi-storey home where sound transfer matters, the 9.5mm range gives you that extra performance edge.

Not at all. SPC stands for Stone Polymer Composite — the core is made from limestone and PVC, which makes it incredibly rigid and dense even at 6.5mm. It's nothing like the hollow feel of cheap laminate. You get a comfortable, solid feel underfoot that's far better than you'd expect from the thickness alone. The rigid core is what gives SPC its premium feel, regardless of the profile.

Yes , every plank in our 6.5mm SPC range comes with IXPE underlay pre-attached to the back, so there's no need to buy or lay separate underlay. It's ready to install straight out of the box. The built-in backing adds cushioning underfoot, improves sound reduction between rooms, and helps smooth out minor subfloor irregularities. One less thing to worry about and one less cost to budget for.

Stop Overthinking It, Here's Why SPC Is the Right Call.

You've probably spent hours comparing laminate, vinyl plank, hybrid, and engineered timber. Here's the short version: SPC flooring gives you waterproof performance, genuine timber aesthetics, and simple DIY installation at a price that makes sense. It's what the industry has moved to, and it's what we recommend to every customer, whether you're renovating your forever home or flipping your third investment property.

Every order ships with free samples available beforehand so you can check the colour and texture in your actual space. We deliver Australia-wide (excluding WA, NT, and TAS) via trusted freight partners, and you'll get tracking from dispatch. Need help with quantities? Send us your room measurements and we'll calculate exactly what you need — including the 10% waste allowance we recommend for every job. Brisbane customers can also book professional installation directly through us. No middlemen, no runaround.

What Our Customers Say.

5.0 out of 5

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.”

The 6.5mm profile works brilliantly in bedrooms, living areas, hallways, and home offices, anywhere with standard residential foot traffic. It's also the go-to for investment properties and rental flips because it delivers a premium look at a lower price point.

Not at all. SPC stands for Stone Polymer Composite, the core is made from limestone and PVC, which makes it incredibly rigid and dense even at 6.5mm. It's nothing like the hollow feel of cheap laminate. With the pre-attached IXPE underlay on every plank, you get a comfortable, solid feel underfoot that's far better than you'd expect from the thickness alone.

Yes, every plank in our 6.5mm SPC range comes with IXPE underlay pre-attached to the back, so there's no need to buy or lay separate underlay. It's ready to install straight out of the box. The built-in backing adds cushioning underfoot, improves sound reduction between rooms, and helps smooth out minor subfloor irregularities. One less thing to worry about and one less cost to budget for.

The SPC core itself is completely waterproof, limestone and PVC won't absorb moisture, so the planks won't swell, warp, or buckle like timber or laminate. You can install it in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries with confidence. Just keep in mind that water left sitting in the joints for extended periods or moisture coming up through the subfloor can cause issues over time. Ensure your subfloor is dry before installation and wipe up spills promptly, that's all it takes to keep your floor in top shape.

Yes, and it's one of the easiest flooring types to DIY. The click-lock system means no glue, no nails, and no specialist tools. A tape measure, spacers, tapping block, and a saw for end cuts is all you need. Most people knock out a standard room in a day. Your subfloor just needs to be clean, dry, and level within 3mm over 1 metre. If you're in Brisbane and would prefer a professional finish, we offer installation through our partnered installers too.

Both use the same SPC core technology and click-lock installation — the key differences are thickness, acoustic performance, and feel underfoot. The 9.5mm has a denser core that absorbs more impact, handles subfloor imperfections better, and reduces noise transfer more effectively between levels. The 6.5mm is the smarter choice when you're covering bedrooms, living areas, or larger areas on a budget. If you're unsure which is right for your space, get in touch and we'll point you in the right direction.

It's about as low-maintenance as flooring gets. Sweep or vacuum regularly to keep grit and dust off the surface, and use a damp mop with warm water when you want a deeper clean. Skip the steam mops and harsh chemicals — they're not needed and can wear down the top layer over time. That's it. No sanding, no polishing, no recoating. Just a floor that stays looking good with minimal effort.

Measure each room's length and width in metres, multiply to get the total square metreage, and add 10% on top for waste. That 10% covers cuts around doorways, edges, and any odd angles in your layout. If maths isn't your thing, just send us your room dimensions and we'll work it out for you — we'd rather help you get it right upfront than have you come up short mid-install.
