Default Good brand of laminate
Are some brands of laminate considerably better than others. I'm looking for something nice. What brands / types should I be looking at?

Following are some laminate brands:
1. Berry Floor Laminate
2. Bruce Laminate Flooring
3. Faus Laminate Flooring
4. Mannington Laminate Floors
5. Quick Step Laminate Flooring

I would personally suggest Mannington as they have many choices. You can also check out Ikea they have good collection of kitchen cabinet design and flooring.

Higher the mm grade the better off you will be on any brand.

Personally I think the 12 mm stuff is just a gimmick unless you need the additional height. After all, all your getting is more pressed paper.

I don't know Ernesto some of the 12mm looks looks like real hardwood. Big price difference between 7 & 12mm you got to get what you pay for?....

The core has nothing to do with the deco layer material and how real it looks.
