Godfrey Hirst Polaris 1200 Silk Spotted Gum – light honey spotted gum vinyl plank flooring
Silk Spotted Gum is a light honey spotted gum with soft grain. It keeps rooms bright and suits coastal homes. Polaris 1200 is the shorter, 3mm format of the Polaris range – Australian species and oak looks with a 0.5mm wear layer and the top P5 slip rating. All colours are also available in the longer, thicker Polaris 1500. Silk Spotted Gum is one of 12 colours in the range.
Why choose Polaris 1200 Silk Spotted Gum
- 100% waterproof glue-down vinyl – suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and whole-home installs; spills and wet feet are no problem.
- 0.5mm wear layer – a commercial-grade wear layer with a scratch- and stain-resistant coating, built for pets, kids and high-traffic areas.
- P5 slip rating (AS 4586) – the highest wet-pendulum rating available, ideal for wet areas and commercial use.
- Realistic timber look – embossed matte surface with micro-bevel edges for a natural finish.
- Direct-stick installation – glued to a flat, dry subfloor for a solid, quiet floor with no hollow sound; thin profile means minimal height build-up at doorways.

Where it works best
Because Polaris 1200 is waterproof and glued down, Silk Spotted Gum suits kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, hallways and living areas, and is a popular choice for rentals, granny flats and commercial fit-outs. Its light tone helps smaller or south-facing rooms feel larger and hides dust well.
Installation and care
Polaris 1200 is a direct-stick product: the subfloor must be flat, dry and smooth (concrete slabs usually need a levelling compound), and the planks are glued with a pressure-sensitive vinyl adhesive. We recommend professional installation. Sweep or vacuum regularly and damp-mop with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Frequently asked questions
Is it waterproof?
Yes. Vinyl plank is 100% waterproof and suitable for bathrooms and laundries when installed to Godfrey Hirst’s guidelines.
Can I lay it myself?
Glue-down vinyl needs a properly prepared subfloor and the right adhesive, so most customers use an installer. Ask us for a supply-and-install price.
How many boxes do I need?
