I have came across waterproof laminate floor with 15 years waterproof warrenty. Please see Quick Step Laminate Impresive Ultra floor boards. They look quite impresive. I am trying to decide between waterproof laminate and hybrid floor. Please see my post here https://www.houzz.com.au/discussions/6004056/laminate-vs-hybrid-waterproof-floor-board#n=0 Can you please give your input?

I would suggest Luxury Vinyl Tiles, especially for a kitchen where the floor could get wet.

i'm guessing that a problem could be that the boards will shrink and create drafty gaps so i think my old builder dad would have laid the boards upside down, without nails to settle to the temperature and moisture in the room while he did other jobs for a week or two and then turned over the boards and, using a solid timber length to push the boards tight as possible before nailing and he would have probably appreciated the idea of adding some under floor insulation as well
