What Is the Best Sealant for My Pine Floorboards?
Should I use varnish or oil for my pine floorboards?
Mr Sanders
Hi and thank you for the question regarding the choice of sealant for pine floorboards.
Pine is soft wood and while it is possible to seal pine with both laquers and Harwax Oils, we would always recommend the use of hardwearing varnish when sanding and sealing this type of flooring. The reason for this is that pine tends to absorb oils, which means that pine floorboards sealed with hardwax oils will have lower level of protection and durability compared to those sealed with varnish. This is particularly the case where staining is required. Therefore we would recommend stained pine floorboards to be sealed with hardwearing varnish.
We hope that the above helps.
