Prime X 7 In London Oak SPC Rigid-Core Plank starts at $3.99 per square foot installed in Fort Myers — a warm beige oak-look floor built on TRUCOR’s 12 mm rigid core. The London Oak colorway reads as a calm, natural wood tone that works across a wide range of interior styles. Flooring Queen carries and installs the full TRUCOR PRIME collection throughout Southwest Florida.
The 12 mm rigid core and IXPE attached pad make this plank forgiving over the uneven concrete slab foundations common across Cape Coral, Estero, and Fort Myers. It installs above, on, or below grade, so it works equally well in a ground-floor condo, a raised home, or a bedroom over a garage. The Valinge 2G locking system floats without glue, which means seasonal contraction in snowbird homes won’t compromise the joints.
The 20 mil wear layer and TRUWEAR finish hold up against the sandy grit that comes in off Gulf beaches, humid coastal air, and the heavy foot traffic of rental properties. This is a floor that can take a full season of wear without showing it.

Flooring Queen’s installed price for Prime X 7 In London Oak is $3.99 per square foot. That covers delivery to your home, removal of your existing floor covering, routine subfloor preparation, full installation with the Valinge 2G floating method, base molding reinstallation, and transition strips at doorways. Old flooring is taken off-site when the crew leaves.
Additional costs apply for significant subfloor leveling — common in older Fort Myers homes with settled slabs — as well as stair nosing, decorative inlays, or any cuts requiring specialty equipment. Flooring Queen offers a free in-home measure and a written quote so you know the full number before any work begins.
Shoppers who like the London Oak look often consider engineered hardwood because it gives them a real-wood surface. The trade-off is meaningful in Southwest Florida. Engineered hardwood is water-resistant at the surface but not waterproof through the core — a wet mop left sitting, a leaking appliance, or high ambient humidity can cause edge swell or cupping over time. Prime X 7’s rigid core is fully waterproof top to bottom, which matters in a climate where afternoon thunderstorms and open windows are facts of life.
Engineered hardwood wins on one point: it can be lightly sanded and refinished once, extending its appearance life. Prime X 7 cannot be refinished. However, at $3.99 installed versus roughly $8.99 for engineered hardwood, the cost difference is significant, and the 20 mil wear layer provides durable scratch resistance without the refinishing window.
| Prime X 7 in London Oak | Engineered Hardwood | |
|---|---|---|
| Water resistance | 100% waterproof core and plank | Surface-resistant; core can swell |
| Scratch resistance / wear layer | 20 mil commercial-grade wear layer | Real wood veneer; scratches show over time |
| Comfort underfoot | 12 mm + IXPE pad; softer underfoot | Slightly harder; pad optional |
| Installed price | $3.99 / sq ft installed | ~$8.99 / sq ft installed |
| Best room | Any grade; kitchens, baths, living areas | Above-grade; living rooms, bedrooms |
Sweep or vacuum weekly to clear the fine sand and grit that settle quickly in Gulf Coast homes — use a hard-floor vacuum setting or a soft-bristle attachment, not a beater bar. Damp-mop with a pH-neutral cleaner such as Bona Hard-Surface Floor Cleaner or TRUCOR’s recommended vinyl formula; avoid anything acidic, abrasive, or ammonia-based, as these degrade the TRUWEAR finish over time. Steam mops are not compatible with floating SPC floors — the concentrated heat and moisture can warp planks and compromise the locking joints. No sealing or refinishing is required at any interval. For technical guidance, see the World Floor Covering Association vinyl flooring guide.
Prime X 7 In London Oak is fully waterproof — not just at the surface but through the entire rigid core. Standing water, pet accidents, and spills won’t penetrate or swell the plank. The one caveat: water that migrates under the floor at edges over a long period can affect the subfloor itself, so caulk perimeter gaps in wet areas.
The 20 mil wear layer on Prime X 7 is rated for commercial use, which means it handles large-dog nails, claws, and the occasional dragged food bowl better than most residential floors. Cleanup is straightforward — the waterproof surface doesn’t absorb accidents. Heavy, repeated gouging from very sharp nails can still leave marks, so keeping nails trimmed helps.
Quality SPC vinyl plank does not hurt resale value in the Southwest Florida market and often reads as a practical upgrade to buyers who understand the climate. Waterproof rigid-core floors are genuinely preferred over carpet or wood in humid coastal areas. Buyers may assign slightly less prestige than to real hardwood, but the functional durability is a recognized selling point here.
A single room — say, a 200-square-foot living area — usually takes one day including floor removal and cleanup. A full home in the 1,500 to 2,000 square foot range typically runs two to three days. Prime X 7’s floating Valinge 2G click system is straightforward, so there’s no glue cure time adding to the schedule.
Prime X 7 installs above, on, and below grade, so it works in virtually every room in a Southwest Florida home — living areas, bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms included. The one practical limitation is outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces like screen enclosures, which have UV and temperature swings beyond what a floating vinyl floor is designed to handle long-term.
Ongoing care costs are minimal — a bottle of pH-neutral cleaner runs about $10 to $15 and lasts several months. There are no refinishing, resealing, or recoating intervals required at any point in the floor’s life. No specialty tools are needed beyond a standard hard-floor vacuum and a microfiber mop. This is one of the lower-maintenance floors available.
We chose every vinyl product in this catalog because it stands up to the realities of Florida living: humidity, sandy substrate, busy households. Flooring Queen installs what we sell, licensed and insured. Free in-home measure: (239) 763-0770.
