My wife and I are redoing two bathrooms.  My wife hates ceramic tile due to mold issues here in the South Eastern US and generally not liking the grout which requires frequent cleaning and resealing. 

My questions are on the use of Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT)flooring - my wife would prefer to go with either the LVT, or a high end single sheet product that is tough and will hold up to water. Her preference is to use the LVT without grout. However, I'm skeptical on how well the LVT will hold up to moisture without the grout and cleaning will be an issue.  And am I right about the need for waterproofing or would the flooring work well any way?  Is there a way to waterproof the joints on LVT without grouting? Also, do the vinyl flooring grouts have the same issues as the ceramic tile grout?


Question: "I wanted you to know that ..." is it mean or offensive
Answer: I don't find it offensive or mean. If you wanted to soften the language somewhat, though, you could use:


  I wanted to let you know that ...


NOAD defines that idiomatic phrase as:


  let someone know inform someone 


You could also avoid the use of the word you by saying:


  I just wanted to say that...


which often implies that you are simply passing some information along.
