How to refinish or renew laminate wood flooring?
We just bought an older home and it has light colored laminate flooring in the living room, dining room and breakfast room. We replaced the bedrooms and hallway flooring with dark wood laminate but are not in a position to do the other rooms at this time. We would like to refinish it to a darker finish if possible, yet still show the wood grain look. Can it be done? How? Thank you.

Since Laminate is not real wood, it will be difficult to refinish them. Maybe spruce them up with this product well: https://amzn.to/2XssNTG
Thank you for responding, Jeremy. But a change of color is really what we need. I appreciate your information. Pam
