Godfrey Hirst Polaris 1500 Tan Hardwood – warm tan timber vinyl plank flooring
Tan Hardwood is a warm tan timber look with balanced grain. It suits classic and family interiors. Polaris 1500 is the long, 4.5mm format of the Polaris range – wide 228mm boards in Australian species and oak looks, with a 0.5mm wear layer and the top P5 slip rating. Tan Hardwood is one of 12 colours in the range.
Why choose Polaris 1500 Tan Hardwood
- 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 1500 is waterproof and glued down, Tan Hardwood suits kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, hallways and living areas, and is a popular choice for rentals, granny flats and commercial fit-outs. Its mid tone is the most forgiving choice for everyday marks and suits almost any wall colour.
Installation and care
Polaris 1500 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.
