New Oak Thresholds : Do they need protecting ???

[comfortably_numb]

Hi all & Happy Xmas.

Quick question, though not very festive i know but just had some laminate flooring fitted, with solid oak thresholds between the rooms. After getting a spot of paint on one ... i found it a nightmare to get off .. Is it worth coating the thresholds with anything to protect them & make any removal of spillages easier for the future

Many Thanks

Yes

Floor lacquer or varnish water based so it wont go yellow like oil based varnish.

Hears wishing you and your love ones a very magical Christmas and a fantastic new year

Just use tung oil, or linseed oil, lots of coats, then a coat of beeswax later on on about a year, The maintenance is really easy, unlike with varnish which shows scratches like they were floodlit and is a pain to touch up.
