Sienna SPC Rigid-Core Plank starts at $3.99 per square foot installed in Fort Myers — a natural-toned floor from Maxxi Floors’ Summit Collection built for the realities of Southwest Florida living. At 9 inches wide and 60 inches long, each plank reads like real wood without any of wood’s vulnerability to moisture. It’s a straightforward, honest floor that does exactly what this climate demands.
Sienna is built for the rooms that take the most punishment — kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and open-plan living areas where foot traffic is relentless and humidity is a daily fact of life. Its rigid stone-plastic composite core won’t bow or buckle over concrete slab foundations, and the 5 mm thickness gives it enough mass to stay stable even when indoor temperatures swing during summer storms or when the AC gets cut off between snowbird seasons.
For coastal properties near Fort Myers Beach or Cape Coral, where salt air accelerates wear on natural materials, Sienna’s vinyl construction simply doesn’t react the way wood or stone does. Rental owners and seasonal residents appreciate that a floor this durable needs very little intervention between tenants or between visits.

Flooring Queen installs Sienna at $3.99 per square foot, and that price covers more than just the planks going down. It includes removal of your existing floor covering, standard subfloor preparation, the full install, baseboards, transition strips, and debris removal from the jobsite. What you’re quoted is what you pay for a standard room — no surprises at the end.
Some situations do carry additional costs: significant subfloor leveling work beyond routine prep, stair nosing on multi-level homes, and any custom-cut borders or intricate inlay patterns. To get an accurate number for your specific space, Flooring Queen offers a free in-home measurement and a written quote before any work is scheduled.
Sienna SPC and engineered hardwood occupy similar visual territory — both deliver a wood-look floor — but they perform very differently in a Southwest Florida home. Sienna wins outright on moisture resistance. Its rigid core is fully waterproof, meaning a slow leak under a refrigerator or a bathroom splash won’t cause warping. Engineered hardwood has a real wood veneer that can swell, stain, or delaminate if water sits too long.
Where engineered hardwood has the edge is in perceived value and refinishability. A thin-veneer engineered product can sometimes be lightly sanded and refinished once, and buyers in certain price brackets respond positively to real wood on a listing disclosure. Sienna costs less installed and requires no refinishing, but it cannot be refinished at all — when it wears out, it’s replaced.
| Sienna | Engineered Hardwood | |
|---|---|---|
| Water resistance | Fully waterproof rigid core | Surface-resistant; veneer can swell |
| Scratch resistance / wear layer | 20 mil commercial-grade wear layer | Depends on veneer thickness; no mil rating |
| Comfort underfoot | Firm; slight give from 5 mm core | Warmer feel; natural wood flex |
| Installed price | $3.99 per sq ft | ~$8.99 per sq ft |
| Best room | Kitchens, baths, high-humidity areas | Bedrooms, low-moisture living rooms |
Sweep or vacuum Sienna regularly to keep grit — especially the fine sand that tracks in from Southwest Florida driveways and beaches — from acting like sandpaper on the wear layer. For routine mopping, use a damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner such as Bona Hard-Surface Floor Cleaner or a product specifically labeled safe for vinyl. Avoid steam mops entirely: the sustained heat and pressure can weaken the adhesion between the wear layer and the core over time. Never use abrasive scrubbers, wax-based polishes, or solvent cleaners, as these can dull or degrade the surface permanently. For technical guidance, see the World Floor Covering Association vinyl flooring guide.
Sienna’s stone-plastic composite core is genuinely waterproof — water cannot penetrate or warp it the way it would wood or laminate. That said, water that seeps under the floor through gaps at the perimeter can still affect the subfloor beneath. Keep seams and transitions properly sealed and you’re well protected.
Sienna’s 20 mil wear layer is thick enough for homes with large or active dogs — it resists surface scratching from claws better than most entry-level vinyl options. Cleanup from accidents is straightforward since the core won’t absorb liquid. Trim your pets’ nails regularly to reduce drag marks on any finished surface.
Sienna handles seasonal vacancy well because its rigid SPC core doesn’t expand and contract the way solid wood does during humidity and temperature swings. Keep your AC set to a reasonable hold temperature — mid-70s is common for vacant SWFL homes — and the floor should show no movement or gapping when you return.
The product specifications for Sienna do not indicate an attached underlayment pad. That means a separate underlayment may be needed depending on your subfloor conditions and your preferences for sound absorption and underfoot softness. Your Flooring Queen installer will advise on the right underlayment choice for your specific slab or substrate.
SPC vinyl plank is broadly accepted by SWFL buyers and appraisers — it photographs well, signals low maintenance, and holds up in a market where moisture resilience matters. It won’t add the perceived prestige of hardwood on a listing disclosure, but it won’t hurt a sale either, particularly in mid-market and rental-adjacent neighborhoods where durability is a selling point.
Sienna is appropriate for every above-grade and on-grade room in the home, including kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas. It’s not recommended for below-grade installations like true basements, though those are rare in Southwest Florida. Covered outdoor areas, screened lanais, and spaces with direct UV exposure are also outside the intended use for this product.
