I would disagree to a point. Some of the water-resistant laminate flooring and thicker laminates tend to not deteriorate quite so easily and are also simple to pick up and lay again without damage. Some online wood flooring stores have filters where you can filter laminate flooring by thickness. If you intend to re-install a laminate I would choose a better quality one at least 10mm thick. If not, and it's only for a few years, stick with 6-8mm to save on price as some of them look fantastic.
