Solid Hardwood, Engineered and Laminate Flooring - Laminate flooring in the bathroom

Hi there, I am trying to do my bathroom eactly the same as this image

Link to Image (http://www.thediscountbathroom.co.uk/images/309396.gif)

and have been advised that the flooring is a laminate made by Elesgo

But I just want to clarify a few things. Firstly should i be putting Laminate in a bathroom? some people have advised me against it but some people have also said that elesgo flooring has quite good water resistance

Secondly, If i do put this down, do i need to put anything underneath it ie some sort of underlay or membrane ?

Finally, If it turns out that despite my wishes I cant put this stuff down, what are my options to get something looking quite similar to this floor in this color ( see link above)

any help on this would be greatly appreciated

I always try to steer my clients away from any wood or wood biproducts, in a full bathroom. If they insist, I get them to sign a waiver of liability, including mold growth.

It all depends on how often you want to replace a bathroom floor. Lam in a bathroom is a no-no. I would tather see a vinyl plank system in a bath.
