Spritz Cedar SPC Rigid-Core Plank starts at $3.99/sq ft installed in Fort Myers — a warm honey-toned cedar look from CPF Floors’ Alpha22 collection. The tan tones read natural and grounded without leaning rustic, making it easy to pair with the lighter interiors common across Southwest Florida homes. At 8mm thick with a 22-mil wear layer, this is a floor built to work hard.
Southwest Florida is hard on floors. High humidity, slab-on-grade construction, and the occasional tracked-in sand or poolside drip demand a core that won’t swell, buckle, or soften. Spritz Cedar’s rigid SPC construction and fully waterproof core are suited exactly to these conditions — kitchens, laundry rooms, bathrooms, and covered lanai transitions included.
For snowbird and rental properties, the 22-mil wear layer matters. It resists the kind of light-traffic abuse that comes from rotating occupants, pets, and furniture. The attached 2mm HD EVA pad adds a modest cushion underfoot and a bit of acoustic damping — useful in concrete-slab homes where hard surfaces amplify every footstep.

Flooring Queen installs Spritz Cedar at $3.99 per square foot. That price covers delivery, removal of the existing floor covering, subfloor preparation for typical residential conditions, the installation itself, baseboards, and transition strips — plus hauling everything off when the crew is done.
Certain conditions add to that base price: heavy subfloor leveling (more than standard spot-fill), stair nosing, intricate room layouts, or custom border work. The best way to get a firm number is to schedule a free in-home measurement. You’ll receive a written quote specific to your space before any work begins.
Shoppers choosing between Spritz Cedar and engineered hardwood are really choosing between moisture protection and natural wood character. Engineered hardwood has a real wood veneer on top — the look and feel are authentic in a way that SPC can only approximate. It can also be lightly sanded and refinished once or twice over its life.
Spritz Cedar wins on every moisture-related metric. SPC’s rigid core will not swell on a wet slab, in a bathroom, or in a coastal home with high ambient humidity. The 22-mil wear layer is thicker than most engineered hardwood’s aluminum-oxide finish coat. Engineered hardwood costs significantly more installed and requires careful acclimation before install. If water exposure is a real concern in your space, SPC is the straightforward choice.
| Spritz Cedar | Engineered Hardwood | |
|---|---|---|
| Water resistance | Fully waterproof core | Moisture-sensitive; no wet areas |
| Scratch resistance / wear layer | 22-mil commercial wear layer | Thin hardwood veneer; refinishable |
| Comfort underfoot | Rigid with 2mm EVA pad | Slightly warmer; real wood feel |
| Installed price | $3.99/sq ft installed | ~$8.99/sq ft installed |
| Best room | Any room, including wet areas | Living areas, bedrooms only |
Sweep or vacuum Spritz Cedar regularly to keep sand and grit — the main culprit for surface wear — from being ground underfoot. For mopping, use a damp mop (not wet) with a pH-neutral cleaner such as Bona Hard-Surface Floor Cleaner or a diluted Simple Green solution. Avoid steam mops entirely: the concentrated heat and moisture can weaken the locking joints over time. Steer clear of wax-based or oil-based polish products, which leave a residue that dulls the finish and attracts dirt. A felt pad under furniture legs goes a long way toward keeping the wear layer looking new. For technical guidance, see the World Floor Covering Association vinyl flooring guide.
Spritz Cedar’s SPC core is fully waterproof, meaning standing water won’t cause the plank itself to swell or buckle. The risk area is the seams: prolonged pooling can eventually wick under the joints. Wipe up spills when you notice them and the floor will handle moisture without issue.
The 22-mil wear layer on Spritz Cedar is thick enough to resist everyday nail scratching from most dogs. It won’t show the fine surface marks that thinner LVP floors often develop over time. Cleanup is straightforward — the waterproof surface means accidents wipe up without soaking in or leaving odors behind.
SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) has a dense, rigid limestone-and-PVC core, while standard LVP is flexible and relies on its own weight to stay flat. Spritz Cedar is an SPC product, which means it’s more dimensionally stable under temperature swings, less prone to denting under heavy furniture, and better suited to uneven subfloors without telegraphing imperfections.
Quality SPC flooring in good condition is generally neutral-to-positive for resale in Southwest Florida, particularly in entry-level and mid-range homes. Buyers here expect waterproof floors. It won’t add value the way hardwood might in a luxury listing, but it reads as practical and well-maintained — which matters to the snowbird and investment-property buyer pool.
A single room typically takes one day. A full home — say 1,200 to 1,500 square feet — usually runs two to three days depending on furniture, the number of transitions, and any subfloor work needed. Spritz Cedar’s angle-angle click system is straightforward, so layout complexity and room count are the main time variables. Your written quote will include a project schedule.
The 2mm HD EVA pad attached to Spritz Cedar does contribute to impact sound reduction, which many Southwest Florida HOAs and condo boards reference when requiring minimum IIC ratings. That said, requirements vary by building, and some associations specify additional underlayment or board approval before installation. Confirm your HOA’s current requirements before ordering — we can help you document the product specs for your submission.
