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 :x .. Is it worth coating the thresholds with anything to protect them & make any removal of spillages easier for the future

Many Thanks

You might be better of giveing them a coat of to of Diamond Glaze, it would offer protection from spillage.

I would coat them with a timber wax or linseed oil as its easy to re apply
and will put a coating on the timber to help resist any spillages.
Periodically they will need recoating.
A hard wearing varnish such as polyurethane may give a more sealed finish to the grain of the timber making it more resistant than the wax or linseed oil but as the varnish wears off by scuffing feet you may then have to sand it completly back to bare and re varnish.
You decide....

Thanks guys
