DIY & Home Improvement

It generally comes in 3 1/2"-5" planks that can either be glued, nailed, or floated. Bruce, Armstrong, Shaw, etc., make the stuff. I'm looking at either gluing down to the vinyl underneath, or just floating on top. I'm leaning toward floating; if I end up needing to replace boards it will certainly be easier if it isn't glued down.

I know wood floors aren't the best for bathrooms if you get a lot of water. Our girls are grown and out of the house, so the shower in there is rarely used anymore, as opposed to when they were still at home (seems like someone was always in there in those days). I think the plywood core will do better than the laminate products, and the wear layer of hardwood can be refinished at least once (possibly up to 3 times, depending on the product).

I figure the total floor area at about 30 sq. ft., including the area taken up by the vanity, which should account for waste (although there shouldn't be much).

The more I think about it, the more I'm leaning toward just laying it down over the tight vinyl (it is vinyl, not a true linoleum).

Thanks for the response.
