Nove Fallonton Luxury Vinyl Planks SPC Rigid-Core Plank starts at $3.99 per square foot installed in Fort Myers — a natural-toned floor from MSI Surfaces’ NOVE collection built for real-life use. The Fallonton colorway reads as warm, grounded, and versatile, sitting comfortably with both light and mid-tone interiors. Flooring Queen installs it throughout Southwest Florida for homeowners who want a dependable, low-drama floor without a high-end price tag.
SPC rigid-core construction means the plank won’t flex, warp, or buckle when Southwest Florida humidity swings between seasons — a real concern on the concrete slab foundations common throughout Lee and Collier counties. The 6-mil wear layer handles regular foot traffic in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-concept spaces.
This is also a practical pick for snowbird and seasonal-rental homes. A rigid core stays dimensionally stable when the AC gets turned off for months at a time, and the Fallonton natural tone hides everyday dust and light dirt well between turnovers.

At $3.99 per square foot installed, Flooring Queen’s price covers the full scope of a standard job: delivery to your home, removal of your existing floor covering, light subfloor conditioning to ensure a flat surface, installation of the planks, new baseboards, and transition strips between rooms or adjacent surfaces. Old material is loaded out and disposed of as part of the job.
Upcharges apply for significant subfloor leveling (deep low spots or high ridges), stair nosing, or complex layout patterns like herringbone or diagonal runs with custom borders. Request a free in-home measurement and we’ll put every cost in writing before any work begins.
Engineered hardwood brings real wood grain and a warmer feel underfoot that SPC vinyl can’t fully replicate. It’s also refinishable once or twice over its life, which gives some homeowners peace of mind on long-term investment. However, engineered hardwood is not waterproof — a slow plumbing leak or a pet accident left too long can cause irreversible swelling, and Southwest Florida’s humidity is genuinely hard on wood-based cores.
The Fallonton SPC plank holds up in wet-prone areas where engineered hardwood shouldn’t go, installs over concrete without a vapor barrier upgrade in most cases, and costs less per square foot installed. If you want wood warmth and have a dry, stable environment, engineered hardwood is a legitimate choice. If moisture is a factor, the SPC is the safer call.

Sweep or vacuum weekly using a hard-floor setting — turn off any beater bar, which can scuff the surface over time. Damp-mop with a pH-neutral cleaner such as Bona Hard-Surface Floor Cleaner or a vinyl-specific solution; avoid anything acidic, oil-based, or solvent-based. Never use a steam mop on SPC — the heat and pressurized moisture can compromise the locking joints and any attached underlayment. There is no sealing or refinishing cycle to schedule; what you see is what you maintain for the life of the floor. For technical guidance, see the World Floor Covering Association vinyl flooring guide.
The Fallonton SPC core is fully waterproof — standing water on the surface won’t damage the plank itself. That said, water that seeps through seams and sits under the floor long-term can affect the subfloor below. Clean up spills and flooding promptly to protect the structure underneath, not the plank.
A 6-mil wear layer is a residential-grade surface that handles normal pet activity — everyday paw traffic, the occasional sliding stop, routine accidents. It’s not rated for heavy commercial wear, but for most household dogs it performs reliably. Trim nails regularly and clean up accidents quickly to get the most out of the surface.
This is an SPC — stone-plastic composite — which means the core is denser and harder than traditional LVP’s foam-backed core. SPC resists denting under furniture legs better, stays flat on imperfect subfloors, and handles temperature swings without the slight flexibility that standard LVP can develop. The trade-off is a firmer feel underfoot.
The Fallonton plank works on any above-grade or on-grade slab — living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and bedrooms are all appropriate. It’s not intended for below-grade installations like basement rooms below the water table. High-heat spaces like saunas are also off the list for any vinyl product.
Plank dimensions for this SKU aren’t published in our current product data, so we won’t guess. Contact Flooring Queen directly and we’ll pull the exact length, width, and thickness from the MSI spec sheet. Plank width and length affect how busy or open a room reads, and it’s worth confirming before ordering.
Ongoing costs are minimal — a bottle of pH-neutral hard-floor cleaner runs roughly $10–15 and lasts months. There’s no periodic sealing, no refinishing, and no special equipment required. A soft-bristle vacuum attachment is all the tooling you need. Budget more for eventual transition strip replacement if you have pets or heavy rolling traffic near doorways.
