We take 3mm thick vinyl and lay the screed higher.
If you take vinyl and underneath it is 6mm cardboard/cork/wood/mdf or whatever, you lose exactly that advantage of being insensitive to water.
Underfloor heating also loses its effectiveness. Also, the click vinyl options with mdf were significantly more expensive than pure vinyl for veneer.
The only "concern" for us is that this decision means we can never switch to natural wood.
