What ever you decide to put on the floor, Make sure you dont choose carpet. I had carpet in a kitchen and I ripped it out and put down lanolium. I have seen a lot of kitchens with lanolium and It seems to whare very well and is easy to clean up. Also with the ecseption of where you would have to join 2 pieces or along the wall and base board it is impervious to water for the most part. One last warning. If you go with ceramic or some other very hard surface correll dishes dropped on these floors make quite an impressive crash and the dish turns almost into powder. I have seen this happen. And I can asure you that you will be finding the remains of the dish for weeks

The laminations can separate or one or more layers may swell a little. Water wiped up quickly as for example when washing floors isn't an issue and some resist it better than others. Just a caution. I have seen it used in kitchens but never in bathrooms but I don't know if that is some sort of rule. I suppose cork laminated floors are a type of engineered floor and they certainly are used in bathrooms.
