Prime Xl 7 In Spring Pine SPC Rigid-Core Plank starts at $3.99 per square foot installed in Fort Myers — a warm taupe plank with a soft pine grain that reads as natural wood without the maintenance wood demands. TRUCOR’s Prime XL collection brings it in an oversized 7-inch-wide format, so fewer seams break up the floor and the room feels more open. Flooring Queen installs this throughout Southwest Florida for homes that want a relaxed, coastal-neutral look.
Spring Pine is a practical fit for the way Southwest Florida homes actually live. The floating SPC rigid-core construction handles concrete slab foundations without adhesive, and the core won’t swell when humidity climbs or an air conditioner cycles off for a week in a seasonal property. It’s rated for below-grade, on-grade, and above-grade installation, so bathrooms, laundry rooms, and main living areas are all fair game.
The 20 mil wear layer is thick enough for high-traffic common areas, and the built-in IXPE pad softens the feel underfoot on hard concrete — useful in tile-heavy Southwest Florida homes where fatigue adds up. Rentals and snowbird properties benefit from the limited lifetime residential warranty backing the finish.

Flooring Queen installs Prime Xl 7 In Spring Pine at $3.99 per square foot, and that price covers more than just laying planks. Removal of your existing floor covering, delivery of materials, standard subfloor preparation, the full installation, baseboard reattachment, and transition strips between rooms are all included. Cleanup and material haul-off are part of the job too — nothing gets left behind.
Some situations carry an upcharge: significant subfloor leveling work, stair nosing and treads, custom border inlays, or unusually complex room layouts. The best way to get a firm number is a free in-home measurement. Flooring Queen provides a written quote before any work begins, so you know the full cost upfront.
Spring Pine gives you a wood-look floor that behaves nothing like wood in Southwest Florida’s climate. Engineered hardwood handles humidity better than solid wood, but the real-wood veneer layer can still cup or gap when moisture swings are dramatic — common in homes that sit closed between seasons. SPC’s stone-plastic composite core is dimensionally stable and fully waterproof through the core, not just the surface.
Engineered hardwood does win on authenticity: you can feel and see real wood, and some products can be lightly refinished once. Spring Pine can’t be refinished. The tradeoff is cost, durability in wet-prone areas, and peace of mind in a coastal environment. For most Southwest Florida buyers, the SPC side of that equation is the easier call.
| Prime XL 7 in Spring Pine | Engineered Hardwood | |
|---|---|---|
| Water resistance | Waterproof core; handles spills and humidity | Moisture-tolerant but can cup in high humidity |
| Scratch resistance / wear layer | 20 mil TRUWEAR finish over rigid core | Finish depth varies; real wood can dent |
| Comfort underfoot | IXPE attached pad on rigid core | Softer, warmer feel; natural give |
| Installed price | $3.99 / sq ft installed | ~$8.99 / sq ft installed |
| Best room | Any level, wet or dry areas | Dry living areas, bedrooms |
Sweep or vacuum with a hard-floor setting — avoid a rotating beater bar, which can scuff the finish over time. For routine cleaning, a damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner like Bona Hard-Surface Floor Cleaner works well; avoid anything acidic, ammonia-based, or abrasive. Never use a steam mop on SPC floors — sustained heat and pressure can compromise the locking joints and warp the planks. Wipe up standing water promptly even though the core is waterproof, because water that lingers at seams or under baseboards can affect the surrounding structure over time. A doormat at entries cuts down on grit, which is the primary cause of surface wear. For technical guidance, see the World Floor Covering Association vinyl flooring guide.
Prime Xl 7 In Spring Pine has a waterproof stone-plastic composite core, meaning the plank itself won’t swell, warp, or delaminate if water gets on it. That said, water sitting under the floor or behind baseboards for extended periods can affect subfloor materials and surrounding trim — so prompt cleanup still matters.
The 20 mil wear layer on this plank is one of the thicker residential grades available, and it holds up well against everyday pet traffic including claw scratching. Accidents clean up without staining because the surface is non-porous. For large, heavy dogs with long nails, keeping nails trimmed reduces visible surface scuffing over time.
SPC (stone-plastic composite) uses a denser, stiffer core than traditional LVP, which makes it more resistant to denting and less prone to flexing over imperfect subfloors. Traditional LVP is softer and more forgiving underfoot but can telegraph bumps or gaps in the subfloor more readily. For concrete slabs common in Fort Myers homes, SPC’s rigidity is generally an advantage.
TRUCOR backs Prime Xl 7 In Spring Pine with a limited lifetime warranty for residential use and a 15-year warranty for commercial installations. Coverage typically addresses manufacturing defects and finish wear. It does not cover damage from misuse, improper installation, or conditions outside the product’s rated specs — keep your install documentation and purchase receipt.
Spring Pine comes with an IXPE pad already attached to the back of each plank, so no separate underlayment purchase is needed. That built-in pad reduces sound transmission and adds a measure of cushion on hard concrete — a noticeable difference compared to planks installed without any padding underneath.
A single room typically installs in a day or less; a whole home usually runs two to four days depending on square footage, furniture moving, and how much subfloor work is needed beforehand. The angle-tap locking system on Spring Pine is straightforward for experienced installers, which keeps the timeline efficient. Flooring Queen will give you a project-specific schedule at the time of your written quote.
