Question for you home fix-up types.

We're redoing a basement room for use as a playroom. It's a former maid's quarters that was gutted by a previous owner, so it already has drains for a bathroom. The floor is bare concrete.

We're trying to decide on what kind of floor to put in. We want it to look like wood--pref light like maple, beech, etc. since it's a cellar room.

- Has to be very water resistant and moppable. Kid spills, plus the bathroom.
- Has to be very thin. The ceiling is low as it is, so a total installed height of 1/2" is perfect.
- Has to be durable. It's a playroom. He's a boy. He'll have a strong capacity for doing damage.

I've been looking at laminates like Pergo, plus the various plywood flooring products. Any experiences with these types of flooring in a basement?
