Prime Xxl In Salerno Oak SPC Rigid-Core Plank starts at $3.99 per square foot installed in Fort Myers — a warm natural oak-toned floor built on a rigid core that handles the demands of coastal Florida living. TRUCOR’s Prime XXL collection stretches each plank to 10 by 84 inches, so the grain reads across a room the way real hardwood does, without the moisture anxiety.
Salerno Oak is well-suited to the full sweep of a Southwest Florida home — living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, and hallways included. The floating installation works above, on, and below grade, which matters here where concrete slab construction is the norm rather than the exception.
The cork underlayment pre-attached to the plank gives you a cushioned feel underfoot and a modest sound buffer, useful in rentals or seasonal homes that sit closed up through summer humidity. The WPC core won’t buckle if a window gets left open during a rain, and the 10 mm thickness bridges minor slab irregularities without heavy grinding.

Flooring Queen installs Prime XXL in Salerno Oak at $3.99 per square foot, and that number covers more than just laying planks. The quote includes delivery to your Fort Myers-area home, removal of your current floor covering, surface-level subfloor preparation, the installation itself, baseboards, and transition strips — plus cleanup and material haul-off when we’re done.
Some scopes fall outside the flat rate: significant subfloor leveling, stair nosing pieces, or custom layout patterns each carry a separate line item. Call or schedule a free in-home measure and we’ll walk you through exactly what applies to your space before anything is signed.
Shoppers who love the wide-plank oak look often consider engineered hardwood alongside a product like Salerno Oak, and the comparison is worth making honestly. Engineered hardwood gives you a real wood veneer — that tactile authenticity matters to some buyers — and it can be lightly refinished once or twice depending on the veneer thickness. It also tends to photograph well in listing photos.
That said, engineered hardwood does not belong in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or anywhere moisture is a recurring factor, which covers a lot of ground in Southwest Florida. The WPC core in Prime XXL is indifferent to humidity swings and standing surface water; engineered wood is not. The installed price difference is also meaningful at scale — engineered hardwood typically runs closer to $8.99 per square foot installed.
| Prime XXL in Salerno Oak | Engineered Hardwood | |
|---|---|---|
| Water resistance | Waterproof WPC core, no swelling | Moisture-sensitive; warps with prolonged exposure |
| Scratch resistance / wear layer | 20 mil (0.5 mm) TRUWEAR finish | Depends on wood species; no mil rating |
| Comfort underfoot | 10 mm plank with cork pad attached | Slightly firmer; no attached pad standard |
| Installed price | $3.99/sq ft installed | ~$8.99/sq ft installed |
| Best room | Any room, any grade level | Above-grade dry rooms only |
Sweep or dry-mop Salerno Oak regularly to keep sand and grit — both common in coastal Florida homes — from working against the wear layer over time. For damp cleaning, use a pH-neutral vinyl floor cleaner such as Bona Stone, Tile & Laminate or a manufacturer-approved SPC cleaner diluted per the label; avoid anything acidic or solvent-based. Never use a steam mop on SPC rigid-core flooring — the concentrated heat and moisture can stress the locking joints and void the warranty. A microfiber flat mop is the right tool for routine wet cleaning. For technical guidance, see the World Floor Covering Association vinyl flooring guide.
Prime XXL in Salerno Oak has a waterproof WPC core, meaning water that seeps into seams won’t cause the plank body to swell or buckle. Surface water should still be wiped up promptly to protect the locking joints and any adjoining baseboards, but the core itself is not at risk.
The 20 mil wear layer on Prime XXL is thick enough for homes with multiple pets — it resists everyday claw traffic and is easy to clean after muddy paws. It won’t refinish if deeply gouged, but at this wear-layer thickness, surface damage from typical pet activity is uncommon.
Prime XXL in Salerno Oak is rated for installation above grade, on grade, and below grade, so it works in virtually every room in a Florida home — including bathrooms and laundry rooms. There are no grade-level restrictions to worry about here, which makes whole-home installation straightforward.
Ongoing costs are minimal — a bottle of pH-neutral SPC-safe cleaner runs about $10–$15 and lasts months with regular use. There’s no resealing, no refinishing, and no annual professional service required. The main ongoing expense is replacing a flat-mop pad periodically. No special equipment is needed.
In Southwest Florida’s market, wide-plank waterproof flooring is a practical selling point because buyers here understand the humidity and moisture risks. It won’t add dollar-for-dollar to an appraisal, but it removes a common buyer objection and photographs well. It’s a neutral, broadly appealing look that doesn’t date quickly.
Many Southwest Florida HOAs and condo boards require a minimum IIC sound rating for flooring installed over living spaces below. Prime XXL includes an attached cork pad, which helps, but whether it meets your specific association’s threshold depends on the building and the board’s requirements. Get the IIC spec from your HOA in writing before purchase, and we can confirm compatibility.
