Does anyone have (long-term) experience of using bamboo flooring in a

No practical experience of bamboo but IMHO the only practical floorings
for wet areas are ceramic floor tiles or vinyl sealed to the edges.
Wood and water do not mix no matter how many precautions and coats of
sealer.

Surely it depends on usage? I'd agree if you have lots of careless kids
and you don't mop up immediately - but many can use a bathroom without
ending up with lots of water on the floor. A bath mat will be fine for
most.

Ceramic tile floors are a new thing really - most Victorian houses had
wood floors in their bathrooms and seemed to have survived.
