I'm having a bit of a dilemma of what floors to put in my laundry room/powder room. It's the first floor bathroom and it also has the washer and dryer.

I want to go with vinyl tiles. But, the room has a drain in the middle. It's a weird, rusty drain (I would like to try to replace the grate on it but I haven't tried to get it off yet) and because of the drain, the floor is slightly sloped. The subfloor is concrete.

The previous homeowner had a large sheet of vinyl that was in terrible shape and was just ripped around the drain. I removed that, but now I'm left with pieces of the backing on the concrete.

Would vinyl tiles work, given this situation? Is there another, better option? I have to leave a hole in whatever flooring I choose for the drain, right? Any advice is appreciated!
