Prescott Draven Luxury Vinyl Planks SPC Rigid-Core Plank starts at $3.99 per square foot installed in Fort Myers — a taupe-toned floor from MSI Surfaces’ Prescott collection built to handle real life without sacrificing a clean, wood-inspired look. Draven’s warm neutral finish works in rooms where you want a grounded palette that doesn’t compete with furniture or coastal light. Flooring Queen installs it throughout Southwest Florida.
SPC rigid-core construction means there’s a stone-plastic composite layer at the center of every plank. That matters here in Southwest Florida, where concrete slab foundations are the norm and moisture can migrate upward year-round. The rigid core won’t flex, buckle, or gap the way thinner vinyl does when humidity swings between dry season and rainy season.
Draven’s 6.5mm thickness adds enough mass to feel stable underfoot in high-traffic areas — kitchens, open living rooms, rental units, or snowbird homes that sit closed for months at a time. The 20-mil wear layer puts it solidly in the range of floors designed for real use, not just light foot traffic.

Flooring Queen installs Prescott Draven at $3.99 per square foot, and that price covers the full scope of a standard job: delivery to your home, removal of your existing floor covering, surface prep for a typical slab, installation of the planks, baseboards, and transition strips, plus cleanup and debris removal when the crew leaves.
Some situations cost more, and we’ll be upfront about them. Floors with significant dips or humps may need leveling compound — that’s an upcharge. Stair nosing, intricate inlay patterns, and custom borders are priced separately. Schedule a free in-home measure and we’ll put everything in writing before any work begins.
Engineered hardwood gives you a real wood veneer surface — the grain, the texture, the warmth that SPC vinyl is imitating. If authentic wood matters to you, that’s where engineered wins. It can also be lightly refinished once or twice over its life, which SPC cannot.
Where Prescott Draven pulls ahead is moisture tolerance. Southwest Florida’s humidity, slab construction, and the occasional flooding risk make engineered hardwood a gamble in ground-floor spaces. SPC rigid-core is fully waterproof through the core; engineered wood is not. Draven also installs for less, and the 20-mil wear layer resists scratches that would visibly mark a thin hardwood veneer. For most SWFL homes, the practical case for SPC is hard to argue against.

| Comfort underfoot | Firm; moderate cushion | Slightly warmer feel; real wood flex |
| Installed price | $3.99/sq ft installed | ~$8.99/sq ft installed |

Sweep or vacuum Prescott Draven regularly to keep grit and sand — both common in SWFL homes — from acting like sandpaper on the wear layer. Damp-mop with a pH-neutral cleaner; brands like Bona’s hard-surface floor cleaner or a diluted Murphy’s Oil-free vinyl solution work well. Never use a steam mop on SPC flooring — the heat and pressure can weaken adhesion at the seams and void your warranty. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners and anything abrasive. Wipe up standing water promptly even though the core is waterproof, because prolonged pooling can affect baseboards and subfloor edges. For technical guidance, see the World Floor Covering Association vinyl flooring guide.
Prescott Draven’s SPC rigid core is 100% waterproof — water that sits on the surface won’t swell or warp the planks themselves. That said, water that gets under the floor and into the subfloor or wall cavities is a separate issue. Clean up spills and floods promptly, and the floor will hold up fine.
The 20-mil wear layer on Draven is thick enough to resist everyday pet scratching from most dog breeds without showing visible marks. Cleanup is straightforward — the waterproof core means urine won’t soak in. Larger dogs with sharp nails may leave faint surface marks over time, but it will outlast thinner vinyl options.
Flooring Queen installs Prescott Draven throughout the region, including Cape Coral, Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, and surrounding communities. If you’re not sure whether your address falls in the service area, give us a call — we cover most of Southwest Florida and can confirm quickly.
A single room typically wraps in one day; a full home of 1,500–2,000 square feet usually takes two to three days for a crew. SPC click-lock planks go down efficiently, though layout complexity, furniture moving, and subfloor prep can shift that timeline. We’ll confirm the schedule before the project starts.
Prescott Draven’s rigid-core construction handles seasonal temperature and humidity swings better than wood or standard LVT. The SPC core doesn’t expand and contract dramatically when the AC is set back or off during summer months. It’s a practical choice for snowbird homes that sit unoccupied through Florida’s hot, humid off-season.
Many SWFL condo HOAs require an IIC rating of 50 or higher and mandate a specific underlayment thickness to reduce impact noise to neighbors below. Prescott Draven can be installed with a compliant underlayment pad to meet those requirements, but you should get your board’s specific specs in writing before ordering. We can walk you through what’s needed.
