Vinyl flooring has become one of the most practical flooring decisions a homeowner can make — and not just because of the price. The right vinyl floor is 100% waterproof, scratch resistant, quieter underfoot than most hard surfaces, and can go directly over existing flooring in most cases.
APS Flooring & Carpet carries MSI Rigid Core Vinyl from the Everlife collection, available in three series: the Cyrus Series, the Prescott Series, and the Andover Series. Waterproof luxury vinyl flooring including installation starts at $4.99 per square foot.

Luxury vinyl flooring is not the thin, flexible sheet vinyl from decades ago. It is a layered, rigid core product built to handle the demands of modern households — performing more reliably over time than standard vinyl ever could.
Spills, splashes, humidity, and moisture from the ground below do not damage the floor. The waterproof core prevents water from reaching the subfloor even if liquid sits on the surface for an extended period.
The wear layer sits above the printed design and takes the daily impact of foot traffic, furniture movement, and pet claws without transferring damage to the surface below.
The attached underlayment backing absorbs sound at floor level. Noticeably quieter than tile or hardwood in the same room — performing significantly better than most hard-surface alternatives.
Most flooring categories have limitations when it comes to moisture. Hardwood swells and warps. Laminate absorbs water at the edges and joints over time. Even some vinyl products are only water resistant rather than fully waterproof.
MSI Rigid Core Vinyl is 100% waterproof throughout. That means one flooring decision can work across the whole home — including kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, mudrooms, and basements where other flooring categories simply cannot go.
This is one of the strongest practical advantages of MSI Rigid Core Vinyl. The floor is stylish enough to carry the main living areas of the home while being practical enough to handle the busier and more moisture-prone spaces too.
MSI Rigid Core Vinyl can be installed directly over most existing flooring including ceramic tile, hardwood, and laminate. This is a significant practical advantage for homeowners who are updating a room without wanting the cost and disruption of a full floor removal.
The rigid, dense construction does not broadcast the bumps and hollows of what is underneath it. The floor is installed as a floating floor system with an attached underlayment — no gluing or nailing required in most cases.
For renovation projects where removing existing flooring would add time and cost, the ability to install directly over what is already there makes the whole project more straightforward and more affordable.
The three MSI Rigid Core series at APS each cover different design directions. The visual flexibility of the range means homeowners are not locked into one aesthetic — wood looks, stone looks, and tile looks are all available.
Residential
Luxury vinyl tile options covering a range of tones from lighter neutrals through to deeper, richer finishes. Products include Wolfeboro, Woburn Abbey, Whitfield Gray, Weathered Brina, Stable, Sandino, Ryder, and Mezcla.
Residential & Commercial
7×48 inch wood-look plank format with a 20 mil commercial grade CrystaLux wear layer. Colour range from cream and dove gray through to handsome brown tones. 24 products available.
Residential
The Andover Series covers a distinct design direction within the MSI Rigid Core range. Full colour options and product details are available on the Andover Series page or during your in-home consultation.
APS brings MSI Rigid Core Vinyl samples directly to the home rather than asking homeowners to visit a showroom. The consultation happens in the actual room being updated — under real lighting and with real wall colours and furniture in view.
Vinyl flooring colour and texture can look noticeably different depending on the light conditions in the room. A lighter stone-look tile that reads as clean and fresh in a bright bathroom can feel flat in a darker room. Reviewing samples in the actual room resolves these questions before the floor is ordered and installed.
Rigid core vinyl is more forgiving of subfloor imperfections than hardwood or laminate, but installation quality still affects the finished result significantly. Proper alignment of the floating floor system, clean finishing at transitions and room edges, and correct fitting around door frames and fixtures all affect how the finished floor looks.
A well-installed rigid core vinyl floor looks seamless and intentional. A poorly fitted one shows gaps, uneven transitions, and rough edges at the room perimeter. APS handles installation as part of the complete project — the goal is a finished floor that sits correctly, transitions cleanly between rooms, and performs properly under daily use from the first day.
