laminate flooring pattern

[AndyJay]

hi all...
I've seen some nice laminate flooring, but it's difficult to visualise what it would look like laid down.
My main concern is if it has a repeat pattern that would look cheap.
It's difficult to tell just by looking at the top piece in a pack.
I guess you wouldn't get this if i chose engineered flooring rather than laminate.
Does laminate have a repeat pattern?

Thanks
Andy

One plank will look very much like all the others, the pattern will be almost identical through out.
You can design the cuts to either stagger or be uniformed, this will not alter the pattern of the plank any. But sometimes uniforming cuts adds a little something to the overall look.

You buy as many packs as you need and shuffle them all before you start. If using one with natural wood they will NOT look all the same, so the point of shuffling them is to randomise the colour changes.
