Yorya Gray XL SPC Rigid-Core Plank starts at $3.99 per square foot installed in Fort Myers — a cool gray floor from CPF Floors’ Project XL collection built to handle real life in Southwest Florida homes. The wide 9-by-60-inch planks stretch the look of each room, and the gray tone reads clean against the bright natural light common in this part of the state. It’s a practical, good-looking choice that doesn’t ask much of you in return.
Southwest Florida puts floors through a specific kind of stress: slab-on-grade construction, humidity that climbs year-round, salt air within a few miles of the coast, and sand tracked in from the beach or lanai. Yorya Gray XL is a fully waterproof rigid-core vinyl, which means moisture coming up through a concrete slab won’t cause it to swell or buckle the way wood-based floors sometimes do.
The 20 mil wear layer and Heavy Residential / General Commercial traffic rating make it a reasonable pick for vacation rentals and snowbird properties that sit vacant for months, then take heavy use during season. It also does fine in active households — mudrooms, kitchens, main living areas, and anywhere pets are part of daily life.

Flooring Queen installs Yorya Gray XL at $3.99 per square foot, and that price covers more than just laying planks. It includes delivery to your home, removal of your current floor covering, surface preparation for a normal slab, the installation itself, new baseboard molding, and transition strips between rooms. Old material is loaded out and taken off the property.
A few situations add to that base cost: significant slab leveling (more than a quarter inch of variation), stair nosing installations, or decorative inlay work. To find out exactly where your project lands, Flooring Queen offers a free in-home measurement and a written cost breakdown before any work begins.
Porcelain tile and SPC rigid-core vinyl compete for the same rooms in Southwest Florida — both are fully waterproof, both sit flat on a concrete slab, and both handle humidity without complaint. Where porcelain wins: it’s harder, lasts indefinitely with proper grout maintenance, and has a resale cachet that some buyers respond to. Where Yorya Gray XL wins: it’s warmer and softer underfoot, installs faster, and costs less both upfront and per square foot installed. Grout lines are also eliminated, which cuts down on long-term cleaning.
If you’re choosing between the two, the honest split is this — porcelain for maximum longevity and high-end perception, SPC for comfort, budget, and lower maintenance. Neither is wrong; it depends on the room and your priorities.
| Yorya Gray XL | Porcelain Tile | |
|---|---|---|
| Water resistance | 100% waterproof rigid core | 100% waterproof, grout needs sealing |
| Scratch resistance / wear layer | 20 mil commercial wear layer | Extremely hard; no wear layer concept |
| Comfort underfoot | Softer; 1.5 mm HD EVA pad attached | Hard, cold without radiant heat |
| Installed price | $3.99 / sq ft installed | ~$8.99 / sq ft installed |
| Best room | Living areas, rentals, high-moisture rooms | Wet baths, entry, high-traffic commercial |
Sweep or dust-mop Yorya Gray XL regularly to keep grit from working into the wear layer over time — fine sand from Southwest Florida driveways and beach trips is the most common culprit. For damp cleaning, use a pH-neutral vinyl floor cleaner such as Bona Hard-Surface Floor Cleaner or a diluted Rejuvenate formula; avoid anything acidic or oil-based. Never use a steam mop — the heat and pressure can compromise the locking joints and the attached pad over time. No refinishing or resealing is ever required. For technical guidance, see the World Floor Covering Association vinyl flooring guide.
Yorya Gray XL has a 100% waterproof rigid core, so standing water on the surface won’t cause swelling or warping. That said, water that gets under the floor through unsealed edges or gaps can still cause issues over time, so transitions and perimeter caulk matter.
The 20 mil wear layer gives Yorya Gray XL solid resistance to everyday pet nail traffic — it’s rated for Heavy Residential and General Commercial use. It won’t be completely scratch-proof against a large, active dog, but it will outlast most thinner vinyl options and cleanup from accidents is straightforward.
Quality waterproof vinyl plank is broadly accepted by buyers in Southwest Florida and rarely hurts resale. In flood-zone and coastal properties especially, buyers often prefer it over wood-based floors. It won’t command the same premium as high-end porcelain or hardwood, but it reads as a practical, updated choice.
Ongoing costs are minimal — a bottle of pH-neutral vinyl cleaner runs a few dollars and lasts months with regular use. There’s no refinishing schedule, no sealer to reapply, and no specialty equipment needed. A good microfiber mop and the right cleaner are all this floor ever asks for.
SPC (stone plastic composite) has a denser, stiffer core than traditional LVP, which makes it more resistant to denting under heavy furniture and less prone to minor subfloor imperfections telegraphing through. Yorya Gray XL is SPC — it’s heavier per plank and holds its shape better in temperature-variable spaces like garages or seasonal homes.
CPF Floors does not publish specific warranty terms in the available product data for Yorya Gray XL, so confirm current coverage directly with Flooring Queen before purchase. As a general category benchmark, SPC products at this wear-layer and traffic class typically carry residential warranties covering manufacturing defects, though commercial coverage terms vary by brand.
