polyurethane on a ''wood'' laminate floor??
l am putting down a Fake wood laminate floating floor on my concrete floor
in the basement. Can l put polyurethane after installation to protect from
water.
You will need a plastic sheeting to lay down and tape the
seams.The laminate will lay on top of that.Outside of that the best thing
you can do is during installation apply a bead of glue on each side that
when dry will keep moisture from penetrating between the boards.
If you are worried about water & moisture, I would avoid using
a laminate floor. I don't think a poly seal would work very well, as it
would seal the top but not the underside of the plank which is
unfininshed. You should definitely check out the vinyl plank flooring
system instead. This will ensure you don't have water problem that will
eventually lead to a big mess & mold.

I wouldn't becuase most of them are treated to be water
resistant and the polyurethan may not adhere to the already slick/smoth
surface of the laminte. Also, it could wind up looking super shiny and
could be harder to clean in general. One of the nice things about the
floating laminate floors is that if a board gets damaged you can pop off
your wall base, pull up some planks, and replace the damaged piece. If you
seal the top, you wouldn't have that option!
might check with manufacture ??
