Round about 1985/90 I had Amtico flooring professionally laid in two large bathrooms....it was a big Edwardian gaff that took 10 years to renovate ( won’t be doing that again. Shouldn’t have bought it in the first place. Keighley. Say no more). V expensive but looked great and much warmer on the feet in a big cold house!
Bathrooms in subsequent properties have been half the size, so laying external ply, screwed down with 6” spacing, on top of the base layer, stopped any potential movement. I’ve tiled bathroom floors ever since. I’ve considered sealed wood, various vinyls and their ilk, and despite the lack of underfloor heating it’s still my preferred floor covering.
Pros and cons, but I hope to be in chez LL for a couple more years so might as well fit what I want rather than something neutral which ‘might’ appeal to a larger cross section of future purchasers.
