Cyrus Dunite Oak 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 cool and calm without veering into stark. The Dunite Oak colorway carries the kind of soft, weathered grain texture that works naturally in coastal and contemporary interiors alike. Flooring Queen installs it across Southwest Florida with full-service scheduling from measure through cleanup.
Southwest Florida homes put flooring through a specific kind of stress: concrete slab foundations that hold ground moisture, salt air that pushes humidity indoors year-round, and sandy foot traffic that never really stops. Cyrus Dunite Oak is built for exactly that environment. Its rigid stone-polymer composite core won’t expand or contract with humidity swings the way wood products do, and the 5MM thickness gives it enough mass to float stably over slightly uneven slab without telegraphing every imperfection.
The 12-mil wear layer holds up well in households with dogs, kids, or the kind of rental traffic that comes with a snowbird investment property. It’s a practical choice for main living areas, open-plan kitchens, and entryways where the floor takes the most daily punishment.

Flooring Queen installs Cyrus Dunite Oak at $3.99 per square foot, and that price covers the full scope of a standard project: delivery to your home, removal and disposal of your existing floor covering, standard subfloor preparation, the installation itself, baseboard reinstallation, and transition strips at doorways. No surprise line items after the fact.
Certain conditions do carry an upcharge — significant subfloor leveling beyond routine prep, stair nosing for multi-level homes, diagonal or herringbone layouts, and any custom border work. We offer a free in-home measurement and provide a written quote that itemizes everything before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’re committing to.
Shoppers considering engineered hardwood alongside Cyrus Dunite Oak are usually after the same visual — a real wood grain in a neutral, low-contrast tone. Engineered hardwood delivers genuine wood on the surface, which matters if you want the option to sand and refinish down the road. It also feels warmer and slightly softer underfoot than a rigid vinyl plank.
But in a Southwest Florida context, engineered hardwood has real limitations. It’s not fully waterproof, it doesn’t belong in bathrooms or laundry rooms, and it costs significantly more installed. Cyrus Dunite Oak handles moisture without concern, installs over concrete slab without an additional moisture barrier in most cases, and comes in under engineered hardwood on price by a meaningful margin. If refinishing potential and authentic wood feel are priorities, engineered hardwood wins. If durability, moisture resistance, and cost matter more, this SPC plank is the stronger call.
| Cyrus Dunite Oak Luxury Vinyl Planks | Engineered Hardwood | |
|---|---|---|
| Water resistance | 100% waterproof rigid core | Water-resistant only; not for wet areas |
| Scratch resistance / wear layer | 12-mil commercial-grade wear layer | Varies; surface veneer can scratch and dent |
| Comfort underfoot | Firm; slightly harder feel | Warmer, slightly softer wood feel |
| Installed price | $3.99 per sq ft installed | ~$8.99 per sq ft installed |
| Best room | Any room including baths, kitchens | Dry living areas, bedrooms |
Sweep or dust-mop Cyrus Dunite Oak regularly — fine sand and grit tracked in from outside are the most common source of surface scuffs on any vinyl plank. For damp mopping, use a pH-neutral cleaner formulated for luxury vinyl, such as Bona Stone, Tile & Laminate or a similar LVP-safe product. Avoid steam mops entirely; the heat and pressure can loosen the locking joints and void your warranty over time. Do not use abrasive scrubbers, wax-based polishes, or solvent cleaners, as these can dull or soften the wear layer. Felt pads under furniture legs are a simple precaution worth taking from day one. For technical guidance, see the World Floor Covering Association vinyl flooring guide.
Cyrus Dunite Oak has a 100% waterproof stone-polymer composite core, meaning standing water won’t swell or warp the planks themselves. The risk area is the subfloor beneath — water that seeps through unsealed edges or gaps over long periods can affect what’s underneath. Wipe up spills promptly and ensure transitions at wet areas are properly sealed during install.
The 12-mil wear layer on Cyrus Dunite Oak handles normal dog nail traffic well for most households. It won’t show the light surface scratches that thinner vinyl planks develop quickly. That said, no vinyl plank is scratch-proof — keeping nails trimmed and adding felt under furniture will extend the floor’s appearance over time.
Flooring Queen installs Cyrus Dunite Oak throughout Southwest Florida, including Cape Coral and Bonita Springs in addition to Fort Myers. We serve the broader Lee and Collier County area, so if you’re not sure whether your address falls within our range, just call — most SWFL homeowners are well within our regular install territory.
A single room usually takes one day to install once materials are on-site. A full home in the 1,500–2,000 square foot range typically runs two to three days depending on layout complexity and how much furniture needs to be moved. Subfloor issues discovered during removal can add time, which is why we assess the existing floor condition before scheduling.
Cyrus Dunite Oak works well in living rooms, kitchens, hallways, bathrooms, and laundry rooms — the waterproof core removes most of the usual restrictions for vinyl plank. It’s also a strong fit for below-grade spaces over concrete slab. The one area to think twice about is covered outdoor lanais or any space with direct sun exposure for hours daily, as prolonged UV heat can affect vinyl over time.
MSI Surfaces backs Cyrus Dunite Oak with a Lifetime Limited Residential warranty and a 10-Year Limited Light Commercial warranty. Residential coverage is the stronger of the two and protects against manufacturing defects for the life of the floor under normal use. Light commercial applications — such as a rental unit or home office — carry the 10-year term instead.
