What We Can and Cannot Tell You
The supplier does not publish detailed specifications for this value range. Thickness, wear layer, plank dimensions and warranty are confirmed on request when you order, and we will not invent numbers in the meantime.
What is confirmed: it is a glue down vinyl plank range in 6 colours, currently $26.99 per m² against a regular $38.95. If a published spec sheet matters for your project, Timberland 4.5 and Resiplank Essence both have full specifications.
How this flooring is installed
We supply the product. Installation is a job for a qualified flooring installer. These are the steps your installer will follow, and the checks worth asking about before the job starts.
Never glue directly to chipboard
Yellow tongue, red tongue and other chipboard style subfloors are made from reconstituted sawdust. Adhesive bonds to those tiny particles, and over time they pull free under stress. Always install a hard overlay, plywood or masonite, before laying vinyl plank flooring. Your installer needs to assess this before any product is ordered.
Assess and prepare the subfloor
Vinyl plank flooring is the most subfloor sensitive category we carry. Any lump, dip or contour underneath will eventually show through the plank. Screed, patch and sand until the slab or overlay is flat.
Check for chipboard or yellow tongue
If your subfloor is chipboard, yellow tongue or any reconstituted sheet, you cannot glue directly to it. The adhesive bonds to the sawdust particles rather than a solid grain, and those particles pull free under stress. Lay plywood or masonite over the chipboard, screw it down well, then glue to that.
Apply hard set adhesive
Glue down with a full hard set adhesive is best practice, full stop. Pressure sensitive adhesives keep the board in position but will not stop doming or dimensional movement as the plank heats and cools. Click together vinyl plank left the market for the same reason: the heat softens the joint. Hard set is the only reliable answer.
Lay the planks and roll
Work in manageable sections. Lay each plank firmly into the wet adhesive, stagger the joints for a natural look, and roll the floor with a flooring roller once a section is down. That gives full contact and eliminates air pockets.
Allow full cure before traffic
Keep the floor clear while the adhesive cures. Check the adhesive manufacturer's guidance for temperature and time, and hold the room at a stable temperature through that period. Vinyl plank flooring is temperature sensitive while the adhesive is setting.
Straight talk on this range
The value pick
At $26.99 per m², Timberland 2.5 is the range we point at for rentals, granny flats and confident DIY jobs. You give up the published specs and thicker core of the dearer ranges, but you keep the glue down timber look for a lot less.
Where the value tier makes sense
This is the range for a rental, a quick renovation or a busy family home where the floor has to look good and survive. You get the same timber looks and the same waterproof core as the premium tier, in a thinner board at the lowest per metre price we carry.
Big windows and Brisbane sun
Vinyl plank flooring is structurally fine in our climate, but every synthetic floor can change colour under prolonged, intense UV. That is as true of hybrid and laminate as it is of vinyl. Supplier warranties expect window coverings in direct sun rooms. The board is solid; it is the print layer that wants protecting, and good blinds or UV film are the practical answer.
A thinner board is not a worse floor. It is a different budget. Get the subfloor right and a 2.5 will outlast a badly laid 4.5 every time.
Colour on a screen is a guess. Samples are 1 for $15, 2 for $20, 3 for $25, redeemable on your order.

Timberland 2.5 questions, answered
What is wood look vinyl flooring?
Wood look vinyl flooring is a luxury vinyl plank designed to replicate real timber. The print layer reproduces the grain, knots and variation of natural wood, while the core is 100% waterproof and far more dimensionally stable than timber. Timberland 2.5 is the everyday value tier of that idea.
Is Timberland 2.5 waterproof?
Yes, 100% waterproof throughout the board. The core does not absorb moisture, so it suits kitchens, laundries and wet adjacent areas where real timber would be a poor choice.
How does wood look vinyl differ from laminate?
Both replicate timber, but the core is different. Laminate has a wood fibre core that swells if water gets under the boards. Vinyl plank flooring has a plastic core and is genuinely waterproof. Vinyl is also glued to the subfloor, so you do not need expansion gaps and the floor will not shift under heavy furniture or across a large room.
Is wood look vinyl a good choice for a rental?
It is one of the strongest choices. It is durable, easy to clean, looks the part, and holds up to tenant traffic. The waterproof core means a laundry or bathroom leak is far less likely to ruin the floor, and the price per square metre keeps the fit out sensible.
Can I lay it over existing floorboards?
It depends what is underneath. A structural timber floor that can breathe from below may be able to take an overlay, but it is uncommon and your installer should assess it. If the timber is a floating overlay floor, do not lay vinyl over it: you would trap the timber, stop it breathing, and risk significant movement over time.
