Our wood laminate floor is warping due to any kind of moisture. Is there a sealant out there that we can use to seal it?
No. It won't work even if you can find one. Laminate flooring has a HDF (high density fibre) core which is very susceptible to moisture. Once it warps, it cannot go back to its normal flat state. The proper way to fix it is to replace the warped boards. There are some laminate flooring with a wax coating in the market. The wax give it some degree of protection against water and moisture when it's new. The coating may wear off after a few years. Hope this helps.

First, you can get the exact visual design that you wanted
and it will cost you considerably less. Second, laminate flooring can be
installed above and below the grade unlike hardwood flooring. Moreover, the
laminate flooring is installed without using any nails or glue which make it
much easier to it yourself. Furthermore, laminate flooring is extremely
durable, easy to maintain and can be replaced easily.
Yes, underlayment provides protection against warping from
moisture particularly if you are installing the floor over concrete. Moreover,
underlayment eliminates the echo sounds that are generated from traffic on the
floor.
There are some special precautious you will need to take in order to avoid water from contacting your floor such as sealing around the perimeter of the floor with sealant. For more information about it at http://www.ehow.com/way_5946274_can-seal-laminate-floors_.html
Laminated floors can be used in any room you would like
although there are some laminated floors that are more sensitive to moisture.
If you want to use laminated floor in your bathroom you will need to prevent
water from core material of the floor.
