Always hate to answer a question with a question, but sometimes it helps..
Why would you want to do that & what does it get you??
Laminate has a stain proof surface and the Polyurethane wont stick long term, My belief & experience is that what you propose wont work..
Yes you can, however, ensure that this is the best option before executing. I do this to reinforce the self-stick vinyl tile and laminate flooring in my basement and it works great. I got tired of dropping a knife or something creating a huge gash requiring replacement. The polyurethane layer has protected my floors for years. Occasional reapplication of polyurethane in spots where needed making it look new brand new again versus cutting out and re-sticking a piece of the laminate floor that will never look as good as new...I use the former. There are a lot of nay-sayers out there about polyurethane on vinyl tiles and laminate floors, but I've always had great success.
Polyurethane will give a long lasting easy to apply finish. Use a water based polyurethane ans clean up will be much easier. You should get years of wear from a good polyurethane finish.
Pergo flooring is considered to be some of the best available.
Floors can be made of a number of materials, such as hardwood, stone, ceramic tiles, plywood covered with carpet or laminated or veneer tiles. In homes with concrete foundations the floors are concrete, but are covered with carpet, laminate, or tiles.
Laminate floors are manufactured, a thin layer of wood or Formica is glued to a backer. The surface is only about 1/16th of an inch thick and the whole board is about 3/8 inch thick. Hardwood floors are all wood and 5/8 to 3/4 inch thick. Oak is the most common but there are many different types of wood available. They can be sanded and refinished several times over a long period of time. Laminate can not be sanded and had a hard factory coating that resists staining more than hardwood.
You would use a vacume
Yes.You first need to "screen" it. Just mean a very light sanding to remove the top film and roughen up the service to give the new layer something to bite into. We do this in houses all the time. 4 or 5 years after we do someones floors, we will come out and screen the floors and put on just one coat.
To effectively seal laminate floors and protect them from damage and wear, you can use a polyurethane sealant specifically designed for laminate flooring. Clean the floors thoroughly before applying the sealant, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and drying times. This will help create a protective barrier that can extend the life of your laminate floors.
You shouldn't use any wet products on laminate floors.
The best sealant to use for laminate flooring to ensure long-lasting protection and durability is a polyurethane-based sealant specifically designed for laminate floors.
No, laminate floors should NEVER be waxed.

you build a house from ground up... floors down first, then hang up the cabinets
You can laminate anything you want.
Yes, urine stains do come out of hardwood laminate floors. With a good cleaning, you should be able to remove anything out of laminate floors. That's why is there so widely used.
No. Laminate flooring is made of the same materials as laminate countertops - a type of plastic. Even though the flooring looks like wood, remember it is NOT. Polyurethane applied to laminate will only bubble and flake off.
Roughness on hardwood floors after applying polyurethane can be caused by improper application, such as not sanding the floors properly before applying the polyurethane or applying too thick of a coat. It can also be due to dust or debris getting trapped in the polyurethane while it is drying. Sanding the floors lightly and applying a new coat of polyurethane may help smooth out the roughness.
