It is always recommended that you install flooring under all devices. This is so that if you ever decide to update the sink base that you won't have issues with the flooring not covering entirely. But there is no NEED to do so.

It really depends on the laminate installation. If you have a click-together installation, you should not put your cabinets on top of the floor. If it is a glue down installation, then you can place the cabinets on top of the floor. We have a niche forum page about floor covering topics that you might find helpful. We discuss this very issue. You can find us right here: Best Flooring Forum ' BEST RUG PRICES

I have two bathrooms directly under each other. The hinges on both cabinets (under the sink) are rusted and the pipes going from the wall to under the sink are also rusted. There are NO LEAKS ANYWHERE in...

You can't stop condensation or humidity in the house, especially in the bathrooms. A few choices: replace the hinges, or oil the hinges with WD-40. Install a vent fan (even though you have a window) and replace the pipes with PVC pipes. Metal drain pipes will always rust, because they drain water. Replace all under sink drain pipes with PVC
