Looking for ideas for flooring for our mudroom/bathroom/oil boiler room.
We painted this area with cement paint, but it's coming up in a few places due to the heavy wear . . .
Whatever we put down needs to be water-proof in case of a toilet over-flow or break in the plumbing . . . also needs to be relatively flexible as this area is sloped to a floor drain.
This area is on a concrete slab . . . not sure if it has insulation underneath . . . I do know it can get a bit chilly . . . especially since we only run a small electric heater in the area as our oil boiler doesn't run and keep the area quite as warm as it used to in the old days (note, I didn't say the "good old days") when we burned oil.
We were looking at Allure vinyl strip flooring that clicks and locks as it is flexible and would mold to the floor . . . but in doing some reading it seems as though there are a lot of complaints about the noxious odor and some other issues with the glue not holding up and leading to the vinyl curling.
At this point I am not really sure in what direction to go . . . one place recommended vinyl . . . I forget the type, but he showed us a piece and it was much thicker than the vinyl tile I have used in the past and the guy claimed you could just put it down without glue.
Suggestions?
