    Yes these are engineered wood floors...and a great question. When presented the idea at first I, like a lot of people, was hesitant because of moisture. I believe as long as you maintain the floors by either using bath/shower mats (underside water proof) and wiping the floors as they get water, you would be fine. However BE CAREFUL/AWARE of any mats because if you trap moisture underneath you will have severe warping. Just think of this area as the same as in front of a kitchen sink or dishwasher where there are wood floors...you need to try and keep them as dry as possible...but a little water won't hurt them...engineered wood floors have a tough top coat. You just don't want to ever trap water on them.
