Laminate is a product that will always expand and contract.
Water/moisture can get under the laminate due to separation of the joints(especially at the tub area) due to the moisture in the bathroom and cause mold between the underside of the laminate and the subfloor. Mold is a health hazard and you'll be damned if your going to be subject to mold while using the bathroom.
This is a better answer to tell the wife than saying laminate is cheesy looking in a bathroom.:laughing:
They male a vinyl plank floor. It is 100% vinyl and looks pretty good. Installs just Luke laminate and comes in many stles including a faux wood.
Luxe, from Armstrong. Waterproof. There's an Armstrong place down the street from me. I'm going to have to go see how it looks.
This reminds me of a customer I had, who didn't know what she wanted and at the end she selected Marble for her floors. After the job was done, a few days later I get a call from her husband in panic... Hurry hurry there is a problem in the bathroom.
I run over there and he takes me to the bathroom and there is his wife spread eagle on the floor... she slipped and got suctioned to the Marble floor and the husband said he can't get her up. I said I will get a hammer and chisel and chip the Marble under her to let the air in and it will release the hold.
So the husband started to fondle her... I said what are you doing, now its not the time.... So he goes she will get wet, and I will slide her into the next room, the floor is less expensive there. :laughing:

Why not wood looking tile , wood don't belong on a bathroom floor.
