Prime Xxl In Palace Oak SPC Rigid-Core Plank starts at $3.99 per square foot installed in Fort Myers — a honey-toned oak look built wide and long for rooms that deserve a real visual statement. From TRUCOR’s Prime XXL collection, Palace Oak pairs a warm, natural grain finish with an oversized 10-by-84-inch plank format. Flooring Queen supplies and installs it across Southwest Florida with the craftsmanship to match its scale.
Palace Oak’s rigid stone-polymer core doesn’t flex, swell, or buckle when humidity climbs — which in Southwest Florida means it’s suited for every level of a home, from a second-floor bedroom down to a below-grade bonus room on a concrete slab. The cork underlayment is built in, so there’s no vapor barrier guesswork on slab installations.
The 20 mil wear layer and TRUWEAR finish hold up well in the high-traffic patterns common to rental properties, snowbird homes that sit closed through the summer, and coastal houses where sandy feet and salt air are facts of daily life. Kitchens, great rooms, hallways — this floor is designed to handle all of it.

Flooring Queen installs Prime XXL in Palace Oak at $3.99 per square foot, and that price covers a complete job: delivery to your home, removal of your current flooring, standard subfloor preparation, the full install, baseboards, and transition strips. Old materials are taken off-site when the crew leaves.
Some scopes carry an upcharge — significant subfloor leveling, stair nosing, intricate cut patterns, or custom border work fall outside the standard rate. The best way to get an accurate number is to schedule a free in-home measure. Flooring Queen will walk your space and hand you a written quote before any commitment is made.
Palace Oak is often cross-shopped against engineered hardwood because both deliver a realistic wood look in a wide-plank format. The differences are meaningful. Engineered hardwood is genuinely sensitive to moisture — not a great fit for Florida slabs, bathrooms, or laundry rooms. SPC’s stone-polymer core is fully waterproof throughout, not just at the surface. Engineered hardwood can be sanded and refinished once or twice, which extends its life if the veneer is thick enough; SPC cannot be refinished. For pet households or rentals, Palace Oak’s 20 mil wear layer resists scratching better than most entry-level engineered veneers. Engineered hardwood does carry a warmer, more tactile feel underfoot for buyers who prioritize that. The price gap is also real — engineered hardwood typically runs about $8.99 installed versus $3.99 for this floor.
| Prime XXL in Palace Oak | Engineered Hardwood | |
|---|---|---|
| Water resistance | Fully waterproof core | Moisture-sensitive; not slab-safe |
| Scratch resistance / wear layer | 20 mil commercial-grade wear layer | Veneer depth varies; can scratch |
| Comfort underfoot | Cork pad included; firm SPC feel | Warmer, more natural underfoot |
| Installed price | $3.99 / sq ft installed | ~$8.99 / sq ft installed |
| Best room | Any level, wet or dry spaces | Above-grade, low-moisture rooms |
Sweep or vacuum regularly — use a hard-floor setting on your vacuum to avoid scratching the TRUWEAR finish with a spinning brush roll. Damp-mop with a pH-neutral cleaner such as Bona Hard-Surface Floor Cleaner or a manufacturer-approved vinyl formula; avoid anything acidic, oil-based, or abrasive. Never use a steam mop on SPC — the concentrated heat and moisture can compromise the locking joints and the attached cork pad over time. Wipe up standing spills promptly, even though the core is waterproof, to protect the seams and baseboards at the perimeter. For technical guidance, see the World Floor Covering Association vinyl flooring guide.
Palace Oak has a stone-polymer core that is genuinely waterproof — the plank itself will not swell, warp, or delaminate if water sits on it. That said, prolonged flooding that forces water under the floor or into wall cavities is a different issue. For everyday spills, pet accidents, or high-humidity rooms, this floor holds up.
The 20 mil wear layer on Palace Oak is thick enough to resist everyday claw marks from most dog breeds without showing deep gouges. Pet accidents clean up without staining because the core is waterproof. For very large or high-energy dogs, keeping nails trimmed will extend the finish’s appearance over time.
Yes — Flooring Queen installs Prime XXL in Palace Oak throughout Southwest Florida, including Cape Coral, Naples, Bonita Springs, and Estero, along with the broader Lee and Collier County areas. If you’re unsure whether your address falls within the service area, a quick call or the online scheduler will confirm it.
Palace Oak comes with a cork underlayment already bonded to the back of each plank, so no separate pad is needed. Cork adds a modest cushion underfoot, helps dampen sound between footsteps and the subfloor, and provides a slight thermal buffer — particularly useful on concrete slab installations common in Florida homes.
A single room typically wraps in one day. A whole-home project — say, 1,000 to 1,500 square feet — usually runs two to three days, depending on layout complexity and the number of transitions. The oversized 10-by-84-inch plank format actually covers square footage quickly, which can shorten labor time compared to smaller-format floors.
TRUCOR provides a limited lifetime warranty for residential use and a 15-year warranty for commercial installations. Coverage addresses manufacturing defects in the core, wear layer, and finish under normal use conditions. It does not cover damage from improper installation, misuse, or modifications — so professional installation, like what Flooring Queen provides, helps protect that coverage from day one.
