I am thinking about redoing the floor of my bathroom (about 8x5 ft). Currently there is ceramic tile down that keeps popping up. There doesn't appear to be any flex in the floor but I have to assume there is (why else would they pop?). I did not own the house when the work was done so I have no idea what was done during the install. I'm thinking of doing something else aside from ceramic tile, perhaps an engineered floor. However they all only state to be water resistant, which tells me they are not a great fit for a bathroom. I aasume this is because they are really made of some sort of wood base. Are there any engineered floors that would be bathroom safe (ie water proof)? I would think if a flooring company made the base out of the same material as Trex decking instead of wood they would hold up to water (anyone know of a product like this?). I could go vinyl but for whatever reason I'm turned off by the vinyl floors I've seen.
