Cyrus Woburn Abbey Luxury Vinyl Planks SPC Rigid-Core Plank starts at $3.99 per square foot installed in Fort Myers — a light gray wood-look floor from MSI Surfaces’ Cyrus collection that reads clean and contemporary without reading cold. The Woburn colorway sits in a soft, neutral gray range that works with both warm and cool interiors. Flooring Queen installs it throughout Southwest Florida.
SPC stands for stone-plastic composite, meaning the core is dense and dimensionally stable — not foam, not cork. That matters in Southwest Florida homes built on concrete slab, where the floor has to handle moisture vapor pushing up from below and humidity swings from rainy season into dry season. Woburn Abbey won’t buckle, cup, or delaminate under those conditions.
The 12-mil wear layer resists everyday scuffs from foot traffic, furniture, and the fine sand that finds its way in from the beach. It’s a practical fit for rental properties, snowbird homes that sit closed through humid summers, and busy households that don’t want to baby their floors.

Flooring Queen installs Cyrus Woburn Abbey at $3.99 per square foot, and that price covers the full job: delivery to your Fort Myers or Southwest Florida address, removal of your current flooring, surface preparation for typical conditions, installation of the planks, baseboard reinstallation, transition strips at doorways, and cleanup.
Certain conditions carry an upcharge. Significant subfloor leveling — common in older homes where slabs have settled unevenly — is priced separately after we assess the site. Stair nosing, custom border work, and complex inlay patterns also add to the base price. We offer a free in-home measurement and provide a written quote before any work begins.
Engineered hardwood gives you a real wood veneer and the warmth that comes with it — and in Fort Myers homes, that authentic grain can genuinely justify the higher cost. But engineered wood is not waterproof. It tolerates humidity better than solid wood, but repeated exposure to standing water or moisture vapor from a concrete slab can cause swelling and delamination over time.
Woburn Abbey wins on water resistance and installed price. Engineered hardwood wins on feel underfoot and resale perception. If your space is a bathroom, laundry room, or a slab-on-grade area with documented moisture issues, the SPC plank is the more durable call. If you’re finishing a dry living area and the budget allows, engineered hardwood is worth comparing side by side.

| Comfort underfoot | Firm; rigid core | Softer, more natural feel |

Sweep or dust-mop Woburn Abbey regularly — the light gray finish shows fine sand and dust quickly, especially in coastal homes where it tracks in from outside. For damp mopping, use a pH-neutral cleaner such as Bona Hard-Surface Floor Cleaner or a diluted vinyl-safe solution; avoid anything acidic or abrasive. Never use a steam mop on SPC flooring — the sustained heat and pressure can break down the click-lock joints over time and void the warranty. Keep furniture legs fitted with felt pads to protect the wear layer from point-load scratches. For technical guidance, see the World Floor Covering Association vinyl flooring guide.
Cyrus Woburn Abbey is fully waterproof — the SPC core does not absorb water, so a spilled bucket or an overflowing washing machine won’t cause the planks to swell or buckle. Clean up the water promptly to protect your subfloor and walls, but the floor itself will be fine.
The 12-mil wear layer is a solid spec for pet households, handling claw traffic and the occasional drag of a food bowl without cutting through to the decorative layer. It’s not impervious to deep gouging from very large dogs with untrimmed nails, but for typical day-to-day pet activity it performs reliably. Cleanups are easy — no grout lines or wood grain to trap pet messes.
SPC (stone-plastic composite) has a rigid mineral-filled core, while standard LVP uses a flexible vinyl core. Woburn Abbey is SPC, which means it resists indentation better, holds up under heavy furniture, and is more dimensionally stable in temperature swings — an important distinction in Southwest Florida where homes can heat up significantly when closed for the season.
Plank dimensions are not listed in the published spec sheet for this SKU, so confirm the exact length and width with your Flooring Queen sales associate before ordering. Generally, longer and wider planks make rooms feel more open and require fewer seams — your installer can advise on the best layout direction for your specific space.
The published specs for Woburn Abbey do not confirm an attached pad, so verify this with your Flooring Queen associate before the install date. If no pad is attached, a thin foam underlayment is typically added beneath SPC flooring to reduce sound transmission and smooth out minor subfloor imperfections; your installer will factor that into the project plan.
A single room typically runs one day; a whole-home project covering multiple rooms usually takes two to four days depending on total square footage, furniture moving, and how many transitions and doorways are involved. SPC click-lock planks go down efficiently, but older Southwest Florida homes with uneven slabs may need additional prep time before the first plank is set.
