Floating floor where there is water? I hope your not sorry like I was

Well, I hear you. The only alternative would have been some type of tile or linoleum. Any other floor is at risk. The only water concern I have is the condensation drain from the furnace plugging up. Any backup from the washer will end up filling the laundry tub and the kitchen sink before coming out the overflow of the washer stand pipe.

So I figured out how to mount the sink without fastening through the floor. At least I'm pretty confident on what to do.

I wanted to get your opinions on the placement of the sink itself. My original plan was to put it in the corner but I suppose I could mount into the middle of the space instead. Meaning about 2-1/4" from the wall on the left and 2-1/4" from the left side of the dryer on the right.

So my options are as follows:

1. Mount the sink in the corner per earlier discussion but leave the walls as is with no covering.
2. Same as #1 but finish gaps between the left and back sides of the sink with caulk. Might need to use a small backing rod to fill the gap prior to caulking.
3. Mount the sink in the middle of the space and caulk the back edge between the sink and wall.

Update here.

Just figured I would close this thread out with what I decided to do. I ended up not putting anything on the walls and just left the paint as is. I'm expecting light usage of this sink so I will have to tolerate any water splashes on the walls.

I also decided to mount the sink in the middle of the space as to have about 2.5" on either side of it. I also mounted some scrap pieces of 2x4s under the back of the sink to allow me to attach it to the wall from underneath.

I have the same tub, and used plywood for wall board. Then I ran a couple screws through the back edge, from beneath, into the wall.

I suppose you could slip a piece of laminate or sheet metal between for a backsplash.

Thanks for the suggestions. I haven't ruled out adding something as a back splash yet, but I decided to finish up the kitchen, which is the last remaining room to this remodel.
