Can I refinish laminate flooring?

Unlike solid wood, laminate flooring cannot be refinished. This is because laminate consists of a photographic layer on top, not real wood, so sanding or refinishing would damage the surface. However, laminate is highly durable, and minor scratches can be touched up using laminate repair kits. For more significant damage, individual planks can be replaced, which is often easier and more cost-effective than refinishing. To prolong its lifespan, be sure to clean laminate properly and avoid excess moisture or harsh chemicals that could cause wear.
