Prime Xl 12 In Moncton Oak SPC Rigid-Core Plank starts at $3.99/sq ft installed in Fort Myers — a natural oak-toned floor from TRUCOR’s Prime XL 12 collection that brings wide-plank warmth without the vulnerabilities of real wood. At 12 inches wide and 72 inches long, each plank reads as genuinely architectural. The Moncton Oak colorway leans into honest, mid-tone natural wood grain, the kind that reads calm in open floor plans and coastal interiors alike.
TRUCOR Prime XL 12 was engineered for the conditions Southwest Florida actually delivers: concrete slab subfloors, year-round humidity, and the occasional plumbing mishap. The floating Valinge locking system installs above, on, or below grade without adhesive, which matters on the slabs that underpin nearly every Fort Myers home. The attached IXPE pad softens the feel over concrete and adds a measure of acoustic dampening.
The 12 mm thickness and rigid SPC core resist the seasonal expansion pressures that buckle thinner products when humidity swings between dry-season lows and summer peaks. Snowbird and rental properties benefit from a floor that holds up through long unoccupied stretches and high-traffic returns alike.

Flooring Queen installs Prime XL 12 in Moncton Oak at $3.99 per square foot. That price covers delivery to the job site, removal and disposal of the existing floor covering, standard subfloor inspection and prep, the full installation, and fitting of baseboard and transition moldings. There are no hidden line items for a standard residential install.
Certain conditions carry an upcharge: significant subfloor leveling beyond routine prep, stair nosing installations (Flush Stair Nose and Stair Tread moldings are available for this product), or custom-cut inlays and borders. Call or schedule a free in-home measure and we’ll put together a written room-by-room quote before any work is committed.
Moncton Oak is an easy product to cross-shop against engineered hardwood — both offer wide-plank oak visuals at price points that overlap. The key difference is moisture tolerance. Engineered hardwood’s plywood core manages humidity better than solid wood, but it is still vulnerable to standing water, slab moisture vapor, and the kind of prolonged humidity Fort Myers summers produce. A single plumbing leak can mean a full board replacement.
SPC rigid-core wins on water immunity, install flexibility (including below-grade slabs), and day-to-day scratch resilience from the 20 mil TRUWEAR finish. Engineered hardwood wins on authenticity — it can be lightly sanded and refinished once or twice, and the surface texture reads differently underfoot. If refinishing longevity matters more than moisture-proofing, engineered hardwood is the honest answer. For most SWFL homes, it is not.
| Prime XL 12 in Moncton Oak | Engineered Hardwood | |
|---|---|---|
| Water resistance | 100% waterproof core and surface | Moisture-tolerant but not waterproof |
| Scratch resistance / wear layer | 20 mil TRUWEAR™ commercial-grade finish | Aluminum oxide finish; thinner on budget lines |
| Comfort underfoot | 12 mm with IXPE pad attached | Warmer feel; real wood underfoot |
| Installed price | $3.99/sq ft installed | Approx. $8.99/sq ft installed |
| Best room | Any level, including bathrooms and laundry | Above-grade, dry rooms only |
Sweep or vacuum weekly — use a hard-floor setting without a rotating beater bar, which can scuff the TRUWEAR finish over time. For mopping, a flat microfiber mop with a pH-neutral cleaner (Bona Hard-Surface Floor Cleaner works well) keeps the finish intact. Avoid steam mops entirely; concentrated heat can compromise the locking joints and the IXPE underlayment beneath the planks. Wipe up standing puddles promptly — the core is waterproof, but extended pooling under baseboards or at seams is worth avoiding. No waxing or solvent-based polishes; the TRUWEAR finish does not benefit from topcoats. For technical guidance, see the World Floor Covering Association vinyl flooring guide.
The Prime XL 12 core is fully waterproof — standing water will not swell or warp the planks themselves. The practical caveat is the seams: prolonged pooling at transitions or baseboards can work moisture into the subfloor beneath, so prompt cleanup is still the right habit even on a waterproof product.
The 20 mil TRUWEAR wear layer gives this floor solid scratch resistance for most household pets, including large breeds. Claw marks are possible under sustained force, but daily dog traffic is well within what this rating handles. Accidents clean up without staining since the surface and core do not absorb liquid.
SPC stands for stone-plastic composite — the core is denser and more dimensionally stable than the flexible PVC core in standard LVP. That rigidity means less flex underfoot, better performance over minor subfloor irregularities, and reduced risk of gapping when temperatures shift. Moncton Oak is SPC, which puts it a category above entry-level vinyl plank in durability.
Flooring Queen installs throughout the region, including Cape Coral, Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, Lehigh Acres, and the broader Fort Myers metro. If you are outside those core areas, call us — we cover more of SWFL than our service-area page lists, and we can confirm coverage during your quote call.
A single room typically wraps in one day. A whole-home project — say, 1,200 to 1,800 square feet — usually runs two to three days depending on layout complexity, the number of doorways requiring undercutting, and any subfloor work needed before planks go down. The Valinge locking system installs quickly, which keeps the timeline tight.
Many SWFL condo HOAs require a minimum IIC sound rating (often IIC 50 or higher) for hard-surface floors. The attached IXPE pad contributes to acoustic performance, but specific IIC certification documentation should be requested from TRUCOR directly to present to your board. Always get board approval in writing before installation begins — some associations also require a licensed installer, which Flooring Queen satisfies.
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.
