Prime In Vista Oak SPC Rigid-Core Plank starts at $3.99 per square foot installed in Fort Myers — a natural oak-toned floor from TRUCOR’s Prime collection that pairs warm, woodgrain character with the rigid-core durability Southwest Florida homes genuinely need. Vista Oak lands in a soft, natural wood palette that reads grounded and unfussy in almost any room.
This plank is built for the realities of Florida living: high humidity, concrete slab subfloors, and the salt air that works into coastal homes year-round. Its floating installation goes above, on, or below grade, so it works equally well in a slab-on-grade living room or a below-grade bonus space. The IXPE attached pad softens the feel underfoot and adds a layer of moisture buffering between the plank and the slab.
The 20 mil wear layer and TRUWEAR™ finish hold up to the sandy foot traffic and pet movement that are just part of daily life here. For rental properties or vacation homes that cycle through tenants and seasons, the rigid WPC core keeps the floor dimensionally stable even when the AC runs low between visits.

Flooring Queen installs Prime in Vista Oak at $3.99 per square foot, and that price covers the full job: product delivery, removal of your existing flooring, standard surface preparation, the install itself, baseboard reattachment, transition strips at doorways, and cleanup when the crew leaves. No surprise line items for the basics.
A few things do carry an upcharge: significant subfloor leveling beyond routine prep, stair nosing installations, and any custom inlay or border work. Call or click to schedule a free in-home measurement — you’ll get a written scope and price before a single plank is ordered.
Prime in Vista Oak gives you a wood look with a fully waterproof core — something engineered hardwood can’t claim. In a Florida home with a concrete slab, humidity swings, or any chance of water intrusion from a sliding door track or appliance leak, that distinction matters. SPC rigid-core won’t swell, buckle, or require acclimation the way engineered wood does.
Where engineered hardwood wins: it’s real wood on the surface, so it can be lightly sanded and refinished once or twice, and it carries a warmth that some buyers prefer under foot and in resale conversations. The trade-off is cost — engineered hardwood runs roughly $8.99 per square foot installed — and it demands a more controlled environment than most Florida rooms provide.
| Prime in Vista Oak | Engineered Hardwood | |
|---|---|---|
| Water resistance | 100% waterproof core | Water-resistant surface only |
| Scratch resistance / wear layer | 20 mil / 0.5 mm synthetic wear layer | Varies; real wood veneer, 1–4 mm |
| Comfort underfoot | IXPE pad attached; firm feel | Warmer, softer real-wood feel |
| Installed price | $3.99 / sq ft | ~$8.99 / sq ft |
| Best room | Any grade; kitchens, baths, living areas | Above-grade, controlled-humidity rooms |
Keep the floor on a regular sweep or dust-mop schedule — fine sand and grit tracked in from outside are the biggest culprits for surface wear over time. For damp mopping, use a pH-neutral vinyl floor cleaner such as Bona Stone, Tile & Laminate or a similar residue-free formula; avoid anything oil-based, wax-based, or acidic. Steam mops are not compatible with SPC rigid-core planks — the concentrated heat can stress the locking joints and void the warranty. Skip the rotating beater-bar vacuum setting as well; the hard brush roll can scuff the TRUWEAR™ finish over repeated passes. For technical guidance, see the World Floor Covering Association vinyl flooring guide.
Prime in Vista Oak has a 100% waterproof rigid core, so standing water on the surface won’t cause the plank itself to swell or buckle. What you want to avoid is water sitting beneath the floor through gaps at the perimeter or around plumbing — the subfloor under any floating install still needs to stay dry.
The 20 mil wear layer on this plank is thick enough to resist normal pet nail scratching under everyday use, and the TRUWEAR™ finish doesn’t absorb pet accidents the way wood or grout would. Wipe up messes promptly and the surface cleans without staining. It won’t be scratch-proof under a large, active dog, but it performs well compared to most wood-look options.
TRUCOR Prime’s rigid WPC core is built to handle the temperature and humidity cycling that hits seasonal homes in Southwest Florida when the AC is dialed back or off. Unlike solid wood, it won’t gap or cup through those swings. We’d still recommend keeping the home at a reasonable humidity level — completely unconditioned spaces through a Florida summer push the limits of any flooring material.
At 5 inches wide and 60 inches long, these planks read as a classic proportioned wood plank — not as wide as some modern trends, but that scale actually works well in mid-size rooms and hallways where oversized planks can feel out of proportion. The longer 60-inch length keeps the layout looking open and reduces the frequency of end joints across the floor.
A single room typically wraps in one day; a whole home of 1,000–1,500 square feet usually runs two to three days depending on layout complexity and how much furniture needs moving. Prime floats without glue or nails, which keeps the pace up. Your Flooring Queen crew will confirm a project timeline once they’ve seen the space.
