What's the best option for kitchen/bathroom flooring?
In my kitchen I'm currently have laminate floor. It's warping, curling, and some parts have small gaps between each piece. What are my options for flooring that will give me the best result against warping, curling, gaping, scratching, protection against water, and low maintenance?

Warping, cupping and gaps are a sign of moisture issues that need to be addressed before a new floor is installed.

I had a leaking dishwasher; thus, my laminate floor is cupping/warping. That is why I was wondering a new flooring options if I when I'm putting in a new floor. Thank you for all the responses.

I see that nobody has mentioned wood which I would have to agree with.
On a work assignment in CA we bought a house that had wood floors.
At some point they did a fast varnish over but never cleaned the crud out of the grooves, a discussing job to clean up!

Are you looking for a long-term fix or something that will look good for a while and is easy to install? If short-term, look at a vinyl like Flexitec. Easy DIY installation, no adhesive needed. If long term, tear out down to the sub floor first.
