Redo laundry room floor- what type of flooring?
+4
It’s concrete gray color. It has about a 6 inch wide drain hole with grate on top that sloops down to get rid of water. What type of new flooring can I do in this room. The drain is in the middle of the room.

Tile or laminate that is waterproof
My vote is for tile.
Laminate is definitely not waterproof, even the new ones. Tile is whats on all the handicapped bathrooms with center drains, and its small tiles to accomodate the sloping.
You could do vinyl flooring linoleum, or peel and stick vinyl tiles, they are super easy to apply and will last a long time on concrete, hope this helps you out

Thanks for all for taking time to answer my question. It has helped me make a decision and start looking for a floor for the laundry room. ☺️
Laminate will NOT work on a sloped concrete floor!
We had the same issue (we have a sloped floor in the 2’ area under the laundry tub) and ended up doing new tile which had to be cut so it would slope properly.
The tiled floor looks great.
if you try to use laminate / engineered plank/etc. It will not work as those cannot bend with the curve of the floor.
You could use peel and stick smaller tiles and try to force them to bend, but you will be sorry in the wrong run, as they will want to pop up.
Thank you for your imput. How about painting the cement floor with a fun color??
