2026 SPC Vinyl Plank in Orlando: 100% Waterproof & Life-Proof.
High-definition wood textures engineered for Florida’s humidity.
SPC vinyl plank for contractors and builders in Orlando
Rios Floor imports SPC (stone plastic composite) vinyl plank directly from the factory and keeps it in stock at our Orlando warehouse, so a contractor can confirm quantities by phone, pick up the same day and start the job without waiting on a distributor. Every plank on this page is a rigid-core, click-lock floor with an attached IXPE underlayment, 100% waterproof and rated for the slab-on-grade and high-humidity conditions that define Central Florida construction. The 22 colors above are the floors we stock right now; each one links to a product page with full specs, box coverage and a quote form.
Wear layer: 12, 20 or 28 mil — which one for the job?
The wear layer is the clear top coat that takes the abuse, measured in mil (thousandths of an inch). It is the single spec that decides how long a vinyl floor looks new, and it is the one most often under-specified to save a few cents per square foot.
- 12 mil — owner-occupied homes: bedrooms, living rooms, home offices. The economical choice for flips and standard-grade builder packages.
- 20 mil — rentals, short-term rentals, multifamily turns, light commercial (offices, salons, small retail). Handles rolling chairs, pet claws and sandy shoes. Our most-sold wear layer.
- 28 mil — heavy commercial: restaurants, gyms, clinics, lobbies, schools, hospitality corridors. Comes on our 7 mm and 9 mm planks, which also bridge minor slab waves and feel more solid underfoot.
Rule of thumb: if someone other than the owner will walk on it every day, specify 20 mil. If the public will, specify 28 mil.

Request a trade quoteWhy buy SPC vinyl from a direct importer
Big-box stores and regional distributors sell the same category of product with two or three markups built in. Rios Floor buys full containers from the factory, warehouses them in Orlando and sells to the trade with one margin. That is why a 20 mil plank here costs what a 12 mil plank costs elsewhere, and why we can keep the same color in stock across the phases of a project — a 40-unit turnover does not have to mix dye lots. Container orders with mixed SKUs are available for builders and property managers who want to lock pricing on a whole development; see the showroom and warehouse page or request a quote with your square footage.
Frequently asked questions
Is SPC vinyl plank really waterproof, or just water-resistant?
The plank itself is 100% waterproof: a stone-polymer core does not swell or warp when wet, which is why SPC is used in kitchens, baths, laundry rooms and on Florida slabs. Water can still reach the subfloor through the seams or at walls in a flood, so the subfloor should be dry and the perimeter sealed in wet rooms.
Can I install SPC vinyl directly over a concrete slab?
Yes. SPC with attached IXPE pad goes directly over a clean, dry slab that is flat to within 3/16" over 10 feet. Patch low spots and grind high spots first; a moisture test is recommended on new concrete. No glue, no acclimation period.
What is the difference between 12 mil and 20 mil for a rental property?
Twenty mil has a 67% thicker wear layer. On a rental turn that typically means a second or third tenancy before the floor needs replacing, which pays back the small price difference many times over. We recommend 20 mil for every rental, Airbnb and multifamily unit.
Is there a minimum order for trade pricing?
No. Trade pricing — 20% below the homeowner price — applies to licensed contractors, builders, installers, investors and property managers from the first box. Volume and container pricing is available above 5,000 sq ft.
Can I pick up the same day?
Yes. Call (321) 200-3295 or text us to confirm the quantity, and the order is staged for pickup at our Orlando warehouse, Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 5pm. Delivery can be arranged for larger orders.
