We don't know what type of floor to install in our bathroom.
My husband is suspicious regarding laminate special-bathroom.

Would cork be more resistant to humidity?
Are cork tiles easy to install?
Is the uni-click system for cork plank better than cork tiles?

Thanks

As a general rule laminate is not a good idea for a bathroom the mdf core does not do well when wet.

There are a few exceptions to the rule one of them being quicksteps laguna laminate which has a black gasket along the long edge and is sealed at the ends it gives the laminate a shipdeck appearance.

Cork can be sealed after it is fitted to make it watertight.
 
Cork boards with cork-lock can be used in bathrooms, but do use pvac wood glue too for all joins to add extra sealant. The boards are pre-finished so the surface itself doesn't need an extra seal.
