Frost King WAT175 Saddle Threshold, 36 in L X 5/16 in W X 1-3/4 in H, Oak, 1-3/4" x 5/16" x 36", Clear

This was the perfect product to transition from our flooring to the newly installed tile. Worked perfectly.

Please be aware that all you get is the wood strip, it comes with no installation hardware, this could be because you might install this in multiple ways.When I looked at thresholds in the local hardware stores, they all came pre drilled and with screws, not so in this case, it is not predrilled and there are no screws provided. This was perfect in my situation as we needed to glue the item down using liquid nails as we did not wish to drill into the concrete floor to install. This allowed us to transition between tile and carpet, the main reason was to cover some ragged carpet edging.I am not sure if there is really any finish on this item either, we sprayed it with a clear coat to add some protection and to make it easier to clean going forward if need be.I am knocking a star off though for lack of hardware to install should you need it, I understand that its a cheap item already, but a few cents of screws being included would have made the package seem more complete. I will however be purchasing several more for the other doors in the house! If you do not need hardware (or you have your own) or plan to install with glue as I did, these are a great approach!

Pre-drilling the holes with a very small drillbit is essential to prevent cracking. also use longer and very thin screws . It is a very thin transitional piece but it looks very nice.

A nicely done product, but you may care about some of the following: 1) Three of the five I ordered had visible dark knots. One was just a pinhole, another a little bigger, and the third nearly 1/4 inch. This may meet an industry standard for clear oak, but it doesn't meet mine. Fortunately, all three knots were within 6 inches of one end, so could be trimmed off in fitting these 36-inch thresholds into 30-inch doorways. 2) Some ends were not square. They appear to be long enough to still be the full 36 inches once you cut the ends square. 3) The oak species is not specified as red or white, so you have to guess when buying finishes.

Had a planer burn mark. Sanded out.

The product is good, I would even say excellent, but the color was to darker and slightly redish to what the picture on the add showed.

Good quality for the price. Fast delivery. I have ordered four of these and there is a lot of difference in grain, some very dark. I like the inconsistency for natural wood look.

I had had a positive impression of Frost King as a brand so I didn’t hesitate to order the maximum number and then I had a friend pick up the rest I needed for our new house. Most of the thresholds looked okay in the wrapper but as soon as I got them out to apply the finish I discovered that not a single one of the 11 thresholds was what anyone would call ‘first quality’. Almost all of them have 2 inches or more of rough cut marks perpendicular to the grain or chatter marks from planing on the top surface. Half of them have irregular bevels which are obviously done by hand rather than milled (as one would expect). A third of them have small to quite large knots, two were badly cupped, one was bowed lengthwise, one was checked 10” in the middle, and there are several splintered edges. I’ll repeat: none of eleven were “clean”. Unless you’re on an extremely tight budget you should either pick out thresholds in person or try a different brand. [I have 10 photo examples to share but I can't seem to upload any of them.]

Impossible à trouver en magasin un seuil de cette largeur parfait pour la transition du plancher avec le nouvel agrandissement de la maison

super

This thresh hold was exactly what we needed to finish a flooring project. Arrived in a timely manner and well made.

It was a perfect fit. Also it is real wood not press board. Looks fantastic where it is

Product fit as described and fit perfectly once length was adjusted.
