Panna Oak SPC Rigid-Core Plank starts at $3.99 per square foot installed in Fort Myers — a light gray wood-look floor from CPF Floors’ Alpha22 collection. The cool, neutral tone suits the bright, open interiors common across Southwest Florida. At 8mm total with a 22-mil wear layer, it’s a workhorse built to look good for years.
Panna Oak is a natural fit for Southwest Florida homes built on concrete slab. The rigid SPC core won’t expand or buckle under the humidity swings that cycle through Fort Myers and Cape Coral from June through October. The 2mm HD EVA pad attached beneath each plank cushions the hardness of concrete and softens the sound of footsteps overhead — a real advantage in two-story builds or condos.
The 22-mil wear layer makes this collection durable enough for vacation rentals, snowbird homes that sit empty for months, and busy households with kids and pets. Salt air near the coast won’t affect the core, and the waterproof construction means spills — or the occasional tracked-in wet sand — won’t reach the substrate.

Flooring Queen installs Panna Oak at $3.99 per square foot, and that price covers a lot. It includes delivery to your home, removal of your current flooring, light subfloor preparation, the full installation, baseboards, transition strips where rooms meet, and cleanup and haul-away when the crew is done. No hidden charges for standard jobs.
Some situations add cost: significant subfloor leveling, stair nosing, custom border inlays, or unusually intricate diagonal layouts. The best way to know your exact number is to schedule a free in-home measure — Flooring Queen will walk the space with you and hand you a written quote before any work begins.
Panna Oak and waterproof laminate compete for the same shopper: someone who wants a wood look, a clean floating install, and real protection against spills. The key difference is in the core. SPC uses a stone-plastic composite that is dimensionally stable in the heat and humidity of a Southwest Florida summer. Many waterproof laminates carry a water-resistant surface but can swell at the edges if water sits in the joints for long.
Laminate often wins on visual texture — the embossed surface on many laminate lines is deeper and more convincing up close. But in a home with dogs, kids, or a bathroom that adjoins a living area, the waterproof SPC core on Panna Oak is a meaningful advantage. Installed price is comparable, so the decision comes down to where moisture risk sits in your space.
| Panna Oak | Waterproof Laminate | |
|---|---|---|
| Water resistance | Fully waterproof rigid core | Surface-resistant; joints can swell |
| Scratch resistance / wear layer | 22-mil commercial-grade wear layer | AC-rated overlay; varies by brand |
| Comfort underfoot | Attached 2mm HD EVA pad | Foam underlayment often included |
| Installed price | $3.99/sq ft installed | ~$4.50/sq ft installed |
| Best room | Baths, kitchens, whole-home slab | Dry living areas, bedrooms |
Sweep or vacuum Panna Oak regularly to keep grit from acting like sandpaper on the wear layer — avoid vacuums with a motorized beater bar set to the hard-floor height, which can scuff the surface over time. For mopping, use a damp — not wet — mop with a pH-neutral cleaner such as Bona Hard-Surface Floor Cleaner or a product specifically labeled safe for rigid-core vinyl. Never use a steam mop on SPC flooring; the sustained heat can loosen the attached pad and stress the locking joints. Avoid ammonia-based or citrus cleaners, which can dull the finish with repeated use. For technical guidance, see the World Floor Covering Association vinyl flooring guide.
Panna Oak has a genuinely waterproof rigid core — standing water on the surface won’t penetrate the plank or damage the substrate beneath. That said, water that gets under the floor through gaps at the perimeter or around toilets can still affect the subfloor itself, so sealing transitions and base edges matters.
Yes — the 22-mil wear layer on Panna Oak is one of the thicker wear layers available in residential vinyl, and it handles pet nails, scrambling, and the occasional dragged toy well. Cleanup is straightforward: the waterproof surface means urine or muddy paws wipe up without soaking in.
Each plank comes with a 2mm HD EVA pad factory-attached, so no separate underlayment purchase is needed. That pad takes the edge off concrete slab hardness and reduces the hollow sound that rigid-core floors can sometimes produce, making rooms feel and sound quieter underfoot.
Flooring Queen installs Panna Oak throughout the region, including Cape Coral and Bonita Springs along with Fort Myers and the surrounding communities. If you’re unsure whether your address falls in the service area, a quick call or the online quote form will confirm it.
Panna Oak works well in living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and open-plan slab-on-grade areas. The angle-angle floating install is well-suited to any ground-level or above-grade room. It is not designed for below-grade spaces like true basements, though those are uncommon in Southwest Florida construction.
A single room typically runs one day; a full home of 1,500 to 2,000 square feet usually takes two to three days depending on layout complexity and how much furniture needs to be moved. The angle-angle install method on Panna Oak is efficient, but tight cuts around cabinets or multiple doorways add time.
