Nebbia Gray SPC Rigid-Core Plank starts at $3.99 per square foot installed in Fort Myers — a cool-toned gray floor built for Southwest Florida homes that need real waterproof protection without sacrificing a clean, modern look. It comes from CPF Floors’ Alpha22 collection, an 8mm rigid-core plank with a 22-mil wear layer. The name Nebbia, Italian for fog, tells you exactly what you’re getting: a soft, muted gray with depth.
Nebbia Gray belongs anywhere moisture is a daily reality — laundry rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and the main living areas that take the brunt of Florida’s humidity swings. The rigid stone-polymer core won’t flex or buckle when your AC runs hard and the slab below stays cool and damp. The attached 2mm HD EVA pad cushions that hard concrete and deadens sound, which matters on first-floor slabs common throughout Fort Myers and Cape Coral.
For rental properties and seasonal snowbird homes, the 22-mil wear layer is a meaningful advantage. It shrugs off the kind of scuffs and scrapes that accumulate when a property sits vacant, then gets heavy foot traffic in season. The waterproof core also means a slow drip under the fridge or a flooded lanai entry won’t destroy the floor.

Flooring Queen installs Nebbia Gray at $3.99 per square foot, and that price covers the full scope of a standard job: delivery to your home, removal of your old flooring, subfloor prep for typical conditions, the plank installation itself, baseboard reinstallation, transition strips at doorways, and cleanup and removal of all debris when the crew leaves.
A few things fall outside that base price. If your subfloor has significant dips or high spots requiring self-leveling compound, that’s an upcharge — the same applies to stair nosing, custom-cut borders, or any unusually complex room layout. The only way to know exactly where your project lands is a free in-home measurement; Flooring Queen will walk the space and hand you a written, itemized quote before any work is scheduled.
Waterproof laminate and SPC rigid-core planks look similar in the store and often carry overlapping price tags, so it’s worth understanding what you’re actually buying. Laminate uses a wood-fiber HDF core that can swell when water works its way through seams, even on products marketed as waterproof — the wear layer repels surface spills, but the core is still vulnerable to prolonged moisture. SPC, by contrast, uses a stone-polymer composite core that doesn’t absorb water at all.
For Southwest Florida’s combination of humid slabs, occasional flooding, and year-round moisture, that core difference matters. Laminate edges out SPC slightly on acoustic feel — wood-fiber cores sound more solid underfoot — but Nebbia Gray’s attached EVA pad closes much of that gap. Where laminate wins is in registered emboss texture, which can feel more convincingly wood-like. Where Nebbia Gray wins is durability and true waterproof performance across the full plank, not just the surface.
| Nebbia Gray | Waterproof Laminate | |
|---|---|---|
| Water resistance | Fully waterproof, stone-polymer core | Surface-resistant; core can swell |
| Scratch resistance / wear layer | 22-mil commercial-grade wear layer | Typically 12–20 mil AC3–AC4 |
| Comfort underfoot | 8mm plank with 2mm EVA pad attached | Slightly softer feel, denser core sound |
| Installed price | $3.99 per sq ft installed | ~$4.50 per sq ft installed |
| Best room | Bathrooms, kitchens, whole-home installs | Bedrooms, low-moisture main living areas |
Keep Nebbia Gray clean with a damp mop and a pH-neutral cleaner — products like Bona Hard-Surface Floor Cleaner or any vinyl-safe solution work well. Avoid steam mops entirely; the heat and pressure can break down the EVA pad and stress the locking joints over time. Skip any cleaner that contains ammonia, bleach, or citrus-based degreasers, as these can dull the wear layer finish. For everyday debris, a soft-bristle broom or vacuum on hard-floor mode — not a spinning beater bar — is all you need. There’s no sealing, refinishing, or waxing required at any point in the floor’s life. For technical guidance, see the World Floor Covering Association vinyl flooring guide.
Nebbia Gray has a stone-polymer composite core that genuinely does not absorb water — it won’t swell, buckle, or delaminate from a spill or a slow leak. That said, water that sits long enough to seep under the planks through seams can reach the subfloor, so prompt cleanup of large spills or flooding is still smart practice.
The 22-mil wear layer on Nebbia Gray is thick enough to handle normal dog traffic, including claws, without leaving visible surface scratches under typical use. Pet accidents clean up easily because the core is fully waterproof — there’s no fiber or wood underneath to absorb odors. Just wipe up and move on.
SPC vinyl in a neutral gray like Nebbia is broadly appealing to buyers and won’t hurt your resale position in the Fort Myers market — most buyers here expect waterproof flooring, and the look reads as updated and move-in ready. It won’t add dollar-for-dollar equity the way hardwood might in northern markets, but it’s unlikely to be a detractor.
Flooring Queen installs Nebbia Gray throughout the Southwest Florida region, including Cape Coral, Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, and the broader Lee and Collier County areas. If you’re not sure whether your address falls within the service area, call or submit a quote request and the team will confirm during scheduling.
SPC (stone-polymer composite) uses a rigid core made from limestone powder and PVC, which makes it dimensionally stable and dent-resistant in ways that traditional flexible LVP can’t match. Standard LVP has a softer, more pliable core that can indent under heavy furniture and is more sensitive to temperature swings — a real consideration in Florida homes with wide indoor-outdoor temperature changes.
In many cases, yes — Nebbia Gray can install over existing tile using its angle-angle click system, as long as the tile is firmly bonded, flat, and the added 8mm height won’t conflict with door clearances or transitions. A Flooring Queen installer will assess the subfloor condition and height tolerance when they measure the space, and flag anything that needs to come up before work begins.
