Tiled walls and laminate flooring in bathroom

[daveok77]

Hi guys. Would appreciate some thoughts on installing a waterproof good quality laminate floor in a large bathroom with tiled walls. This appears to be frowned upon in the past with the few old discussions I've pulled up but these days with today's materials and ideas is it doable? There's a few logistical reasons I'd rather use laminate instead of floor tiles so just wondering if there's any potential issues using laminate. Thanks!

Aslong as it’s rated for use in bathrooms / wet environments then you will be fine

Just what I wanted to hear! Can I pick your brains on one thing... what would you use to finish between tile and laminate? Thinking of Painter's Mate.

Transition trim eg like they use on floor to tiles etc

Sorry I wasn't clear, my fault. Where the lowest wall tile will sit on top of the laminate floor, to fill that gap...

A nice silicon bead 5-8mm

Your laminate floor needs to expand , you shouldn’t have anything on the top of it .
