The floors themselves install in a very similar fashion. If you want a floor with a lot of shine, you will want to go with hardwood. If cost is an issue, laminate.
To restore the shine of your laminate floor, you can clean it with a mixture of water and vinegar, use a laminate floor cleaner, or try a commercial laminate floor polish. Regular cleaning and maintenance will help keep your floor looking shiny and new.
If your laminate didn't shine out of the box, nothing will really shine it. A clean floor shines more then a dirty one. Use a good laminate cleaner, like Pergo's.
