Urban Design Click – Del Mar SPC Rigid-Core Plank starts at $3.99 per square foot installed in Fort Myers — a taupe-toned plank from Happy Feet’s Urban Design Click™ collection with the kind of calm, neutral character that works in almost any room. The Del Mar colorway reads as warm gray-beige, grounded rather than cold. Flooring Queen carries and installs it across Southwest Florida.
Del Mar’s rigid stone-polymer core doesn’t flex, swell, or gap when Gulf Coast humidity climbs — a real advantage on the concrete slab foundations that dominate Fort Myers and Cape Coral construction. The painted bevel edges and 20 mil wear layer hold up to sandy foot traffic tracked in from the lanai, and the 5mm total thickness (with a cork backing that cushions and deadens sound) makes it comfortable to stand on in kitchens and great rooms.
Seasonal and rental properties benefit too. When a home sits closed for three months in summer heat, SPC rigid-core holds its shape better than standard LVP. Salt air near the coast won’t compromise the core, and the ZeroMark® finish resists scuffs between tenant turnovers without needing any professional refresh.

Flooring Queen installs Urban Design Click – Del Mar at $3.99 per square foot, and that number covers a lot: delivery to your address, removal and disposal of your old flooring, standard subfloor preparation, the click-lock floating install itself, new baseboards, and transition strips between rooms or adjacent surfaces.
A few things fall outside that flat rate. Significant subfloor leveling — patches deeper than typical wear — runs as a separate line item. Stair nosing, intricate layout patterns, and custom inlay borders are priced individually. Call or book online for a no-cost in-home measure; you’ll receive a written quote with the full scope before any work begins.
Shoppers who want a wood-look floor sometimes weigh SPC rigid-core against engineered hardwood, and the trade-offs are concrete.
Del Mar wins on moisture resistance — its stone-polymer core is fully waterproof, while engineered hardwood can buckle if a pet water bowl overflows or a sliding door leaks during a summer storm. The 20 mil wear layer on Del Mar also outlasts the thin real-wood veneer on most entry-level engineered planks, which can only be lightly abraded once or twice before the veneer disappears. Engineered hardwood does offer genuine wood grain and texture that SPC can’t replicate exactly, and it can add perceived value to a listing in markets where buyers specifically want wood. For Southwest Florida’s humidity swings and slab construction, though, Del Mar is the lower-maintenance choice.
| Urban Design Click – Del Mar | Engineered Hardwood | |
|---|---|---|
| Water resistance | Waterproof stone-polymer core | Moisture-tolerant; can buckle when wet |
| Scratch resistance / wear layer | 20 mil commercial-grade wear layer | Thin real-wood veneer; limited sanding |
| Comfort underfoot | 5mm with cork backing; cushioned | Slightly firmer; depends on subfloor |
| Installed price | $3.99 / sq ft installed | ~$8.99 / sq ft installed |
| Best room | Any room including baths, laundry | Living areas; avoid wet rooms |
Sweep or dust-mop Del Mar regularly — fine sand is the primary enemy of any wear layer in Southwest Florida homes. For damp mopping, use a pH-neutral cleaner such as Bona Hard-Surface Floor Cleaner or a diluted dish soap solution; avoid anything acidic or alkaline. Never use a steam mop on SPC rigid-core flooring — the concentrated heat can loosen the click joints and warp the planks over time. Skip paste wax and polish products as well; they build up on the ZeroMark® finish and dull its clarity rather than protecting it. A microfiber flat mop is ideal for routine cleaning. For technical guidance, see the World Floor Covering Association vinyl flooring guide.
Del Mar’s stone-polymer core is genuinely waterproof — standing water won’t swell or warp the plank itself. The caveat is the seams: prolonged pooling can eventually wick beneath the joints if they’re not seated correctly. A proper floating install addresses that. It’s reliable in bathrooms and laundry rooms.
The 20 mil wear layer is thick enough to resist everyday claw marks from most dog breeds without showing significant scratching. Accidents clean up without soaking into the core. For context, 20 mil is toward the high end of residential SPC and is often used in light commercial settings — it’s a durable choice for pet households.
Flooring Queen installs Urban Design Click – Del Mar throughout the region, including Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, and surrounding Lee and Collier County communities. If you’re outside those areas, it’s worth a quick call — service boundaries do extend farther in some cases.
SPC rigid-core handles seasonal vacancy better than wood-based floors because the stone-polymer construction doesn’t expand and contract dramatically with humidity swings. Del Mar can tolerate the closed-up heat of a Southwest Florida summer without gapping or buckling, which is one reason this product category is common in snowbird communities.
Updated flooring consistently helps listings move faster and justifies stronger asking prices in Southwest Florida — buyers notice worn or dated floors immediately. SPC in a neutral taupe like Del Mar photographs well and appeals broadly. It won’t carry the same prestige as real hardwood to a small segment of buyers, but for the majority of the SWFL market, it’s a practical upgrade.
Happy Feet provides a manufacturer’s warranty on the Urban Design Click™ collection, typically covering wear-layer integrity, manufacturing defects, and finish performance for residential use. Specific term lengths aren’t listed in the product data available here — ask your Flooring Queen rep to pull the current warranty document for HF1664 before purchase so you have the exact coverage in writing.
