All of it!

12 mil is almost a half inch (25.4 mil/inch), quite thick for laminate
flooring.

Do you mean 12 mm (millimeters)? In trade jargon a mil is 0.001" so
0.012" would be rather thin.

That could be the thickness of the laminate coating on top of the MDF board.
The OP needs to clarify his measurements or what he is talking about.

I am assumed mm, but I copied the mil. My mistake, and probably the
ops as well.

All the laminate I've seen is speced in total thickness and in mm.

I believe one mil is one thousandth of an inch. If so, 12 mil, about
the thickness of 4 sheets of paper would probably just refer to the
surface thickness of the laminate.

thickness of the laminate.

That seems like a reasonable number for the photographic layer, so
perhaps.

But I see that 12mm laminate is not uncommon (not that I've seen it),
so it seems more likely the OP is mistaken.

I installed 12 mil laminate last year. It is very close to 1/2 inch. thick.

I just did one googling and saw Armstrong laminates were nearly a half inch.
I still think mil is one thousandth of an inch or folks are mixing mil
and mm.

I want to know if i bought what they refer to as 12 mil how thick would it
be? I know what a mil is but wasn't so if it refered to the paper shin or
what
