It is not recommended to install laminate in any area of the home that will be consistently subjected to high levels of moisture. Installations in wet locations such as full bathrooms, rooms containing saunas, enclosed porches or verandas and rooms with floor drains, laminates should not be used. Extended exposure to moisture can cause the core of the laminate flooring to swell and or warp. When installing laminate in any area that could be subject to moisture, such as bathrooms, a mold resistant waterproof silicon seal should be used to completely fill all of the expansion joints around the perimeter of the floor. This will prevent water from getting below the floor which could cause the floor to fail.
