Laminated flooring is plastic like a laminate countertop.
It is not like contact paper
yoi can treat similar to some techniqies seen on hometalk.com
it just needs to have several coats of poly due to foot traffic
Try a gel stain, or a tinted polyurethane product (I like PolyShades, found at Home Depo). And coat with extra polyurethane or polycrylic coats over it for durability
It is not plastic laminate like countertops. It is a thin wood veneer sealed with a silicate resin over compressed wood substrate. You can stain it darker using gel stain.
