Not every homeowner wants a traditional warm wood-look floor. Some rooms call for something lighter, cooler, and more coastal in character. The Andover Series from MSI is built around transitional to contemporary coastal wood styles — a focused range of 8 products that cover a different design direction from the other two MSI series at APS.
The Andover Series is 100% waterproof, protected by a 20 mil commercial grade CrystaLux wear layer, and features a custom designed painted beveled edge for a finished luxury look. Installation starts at $4.99 per square foot.

The Andover Series is the most curated of the three MSI series at APS. With 8 products, it is not trying to cover every design direction — it is a focused range built around a specific coastal and contemporary aesthetic with one unique feature the other two series do not have.
Shares the same waterproof rigid core construction as all three MSI series. Suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, and any room where moisture is a factor.
The same 20 mil commercial grade CrystaLux wear layer as the Prescott Series. Suitable for both residential and commercial environments with protection built for demanding use.
A custom designed painted beveled edge unique to the Andover Series. Each plank has a defined angled recess along its edges — giving the finished floor a more considered and luxurious appearance.
The Andover Series is described as transitional to contemporary coastal wood styles — a specific direction that sets it apart from the Cyrus Series and Prescott Series, both of which cover broader ranges of traditional and transitional wood looks.
Coastal wood styles in flooring tend to lean toward lighter, cooler, and more weathered-looking finishes. The product names in the Andover Series reflect this clearly. Whitby White, Kingsdown Gray, Highcliffe Greige, and Bayhill Blonde all suggest a palette at the lighter and cooler end of the wood-look spectrum.
For homeowners whose interior direction leans contemporary or coastal rather than traditional, the Andover Series is the series within the MSI range that most directly serves that aesthetic.
The painted beveled edge is a feature specific to the Andover Series — not present in the Cyrus or Prescott Series. A beveled edge means each plank has a slight angled recess along its long edges. On the Andover Series, this bevel is custom designed and painted, meaning the edge detail itself contributes to the finished look of the floor.
The practical effect is that the floor has more visible definition between individual planks. Each plank reads as a more distinct and intentional element rather than blending continuously into the next one. The result is a finished luxury look that distinguishes the Andover Series from every other option in the MSI range.
The complete Andover Series range at APS covers all 8 products — from very light through cooler mid-tones. Because the range is focused, the decision between options is more straightforward than navigating the larger 24-product Cyrus and Prescott ranges.

The Andover Series is suitable for all grade levels and for both residential and commercial environments. The 100% waterproof construction means it can go into any room — including the spaces that other flooring categories cannot handle.
All three series share the same 7×48 inch format and waterproof rigid core construction. The Andover and Prescott Series both use the 20 mil commercial grade CrystaLux wear layer. The clearest differences come down to design direction, product range size, and the painted beveled edge.
The Cyrus Series covers broad warm and mid-tone wood looks across 24 products. The Prescott Series covers cream and dove gray through handsome browns across 24 products. The Andover Series covers transitional to contemporary coastal wood styles across 8 products with a painted beveled edge finish.
Homeowners who want the widest range of warm traditional wood looks should look at the Cyrus Series. Those who need commercial grade protection with a broad tonal range should look at the Prescott Series. Those who want a coastal, contemporary, lighter and cooler wood-look floor with a refined edge detail — the Andover Series is the answer.
APS brings Andover Series samples directly to the property. The review happens in the actual room being updated with real lighting, real wall colours, and real furniture in view.
The lighter and cooler tones in the Andover range are particularly sensitive to room lighting. A Whitby White plank in a south-facing room with strong natural light reads very differently from the same plank under cooler, more diffuse light. Reviewing the sample in the actual room removes that uncertainty before any product is ordered.
The painted beveled edge also reads differently at full floor scale than it does on a small sample. Seeing it laid against the actual floor area gives a much better picture of how the edge detail reads across the whole room.
The painted beveled edge on the Andover Series makes installation alignment more visible than a flat-edge vinyl plank. Because each plank has a defined edge detail, any deviation from a straight and consistent layout becomes more apparent once the floor is complete.
Proper alignment from the first row, consistent spacing, and clean transitions at doorways and room edges all matter more with a beveled edge product than they would with a plain flat edge. APS handles installation as part of the complete project — the goal is a floor that aligns correctly, uses the painted beveled edge as the design detail it is meant to be, and performs properly under daily use from the first day.

“We went with the Kingsdown Gray for the open-plan living and kitchen area. The beveled edge gives it a more refined look than regular vinyl — it genuinely looks like a premium floor. Really happy with the result and the installation was clean throughout.”
“The APS team brought the Andover samples to the house and the Whitby White was immediately the right choice for our light-filled living room. The in-home review made the decision easy. Installation was done the next day and it looks exactly right.”
