Mythus Blue Porcelain Tile starts at $8.99/sq ft installed in Fort Myers — a high-gloss, wood-look porcelain from Alon Floors’ Porcelain collection rendered in a rich blue colorway. It arrives in two generous formats, 600×1200 and 800×800, giving you real flexibility in how the floor reads across a room. The glossy finish catches light in a way that makes large, open spaces feel intentional rather than incidental.
Porcelain is about as close to bulletproof as flooring gets in Southwest Florida’s climate. The high-gloss surface doesn’t absorb moisture, won’t swell from humidity, and holds up against the sandy grit tracked in from the beach. Whether the home sits on a concrete slab in Cape Coral or faces salt air a few blocks from the Gulf, Mythus Blue won’t buckle, cup, or warp.
The bold blue tone and wood-look surface work especially well in main living areas, entryways, and great rooms where a statement floor makes sense. It’s also a strong fit for seasonal rentals — porcelain doesn’t care how long a home sits closed up between occupants.

Flooring Queen installs Mythus Blue at $8.99 per square foot, and that price covers the full scope of a standard job: delivery, removal of your old flooring, routine subfloor preparation, setting and grouting the tile, baseboards, and transition strips. Old materials are loaded out at the end of the day.
Certain conditions add to the base price. Significant floor leveling — common in older SWFL construction — is priced separately, as are decorative borders, diagonal layouts, and any stair nosing work.

Mythus Blue is porcelain tile — a fired ceramic product that is genuinely impervious to water, harder than any vinyl, and essentially permanent when properly installed. Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) costs less up front, installs faster, and feels warmer underfoot, which matters on a cool morning. But LVP can dent under heavy furniture, fade in strong UV exposure near Florida windows, and has a finite lifespan tied to its wear layer.
Porcelain doesn’t refinish — if a tile cracks, it needs replacement — but it won’t peel, delaminate, or compress over time the way a resilient floor can. If long-term durability and a hard, glossy surface are the priority, porcelain is the more permanent investment. If budget and comfort are the priority, LVP closes that gap.

| Installed price | $8.99/sq ft installed | From $3.99/sq ft installed |

Keep the surface clean with a pH-neutral cleaner — brands like Aqua Mix or Simple Green Neutral Cleaner work well on glazed porcelain. Avoid acidic products like vinegar or citrus-based sprays, which can slowly break down grout over time. The grout joints are the part of this floor that needs the most attention: reseal them every 12 to 18 months with a penetrating grout sealer such as Aqua Mix Sealer’s Choice Gold or a similar silicone-based formula to prevent staining and moisture intrusion. A soft-bristle vacuum or microfiber mop handles routine dust and grit without scratching the high-gloss surface. For technical guidance, see the Why Tile — Ceramic Tile Distributors Association consumer guide.
Plan to reseal your grout every 12 to 18 months. Unsealed or worn grout absorbs spills, cleaners, and mold over time — especially in Florida’s humidity. A penetrating sealer like Aqua Mix Sealer’s Choice Gold is widely available and straightforward to apply yourself between professional service visits.
Yes, the 600×1200 format in particular requires careful layout planning to control lippage — the slight height variation between adjacent tiles on an imperfect subfloor. Larger tiles need a flatter surface. Our installation team assesses the slab condition before setting tile to minimize visible edge variation and ensure clean grout lines.
A single room typically takes one to two days including grout cure time; a whole-home install commonly runs four to seven days depending on square footage and subfloor condition. The high-gloss finish and larger format tiles require careful setting, which adds time compared to smaller-format porcelain.
Yes — Flooring Queen installs Mythus Blue throughout Southwest Florida, including Lehigh Acres, Bonita Springs, Cape Coral, and surrounding communities. If you’re not sure whether your neighborhood falls in our service area, give us a call and we’ll confirm before scheduling your in-home measurement.
In most cases, existing flooring needs to come up before porcelain is set. Tile requires a stable, bonded surface — installing over old vinyl or tile risks adhesion failure and lippage. We evaluate the subfloor during the initial measure and let you know exactly what prep is needed before installation begins.
Day-to-day care costs are minimal — a quality pH-neutral cleaner and a microfiber mop are all you need for routine maintenance. The tile itself doesn’t require refinishing or recoating. The main recurring expense is grout sealer every year or so, which runs $20–$40 in product cost if you apply it yourself.
Tile is the longest-lasting hard surface in your home if it’s installed right. Flooring Queen is licensed, insured, and accountable from one Fort Myers showroom — quote to grout seal in one team. Free in-home measure: (239) 763-0770.
