Update: I was wrong about click vinyl in wet rooms

Had a client in Tampa insist on it for their bathroom reno, and I told them it would fail within a year. They showed me a 3-year-old install from another guy that still looks perfect, no buckling at all. What's the best underlayment you've used for a wet area with that stuff?

We used DMX 1-Step underlayment on a bathroom floor with rigid core vinyl about two years back. It's a plastic dimpled sheet that lets any moisture that gets through the planks air out and drain. The key is the full perimeter venting, so you need to run it up under the toe kicks of the vanity. That job still looks flat with no soft spots, even with kids splashing water everywhere.

Check the warranty for approved underlayments first.
