You may be wondering if planed timber is the timber you need and what exactly it is and what it can be used for. Here is a little more information to help you come to the right decision and find the right product required to complete your project.

What Is Planed Timber?

This type of timber is sometimes known as PSE which stands for Planed Square Edge timber. It is sometimes referred to as PAR which stands for Planed All Round because all of the surfaces and edges are planed to a smooth finish. PAR tends to be a little more costly than PSE as it tends to be used in projects where all sides are visible.

This type of timber is suitable for a number of different applications. It is usually used in projects where appearance is important, or a clean finish is required. If the timber is going to be on show, planed timber will usually be used as it looks great. This type of timber is easy to work with and can be finished with stains, oils or lacquers.

Planed timber is sawn timber which has been planed down until smooth. It is most suited for interior use but can be used externally, providing it is treated properly. 

Whether you choose PSE timber or PAR timber for your project, the end result will no doubt look great. This type of timber we sell is all made from softwood trees.

Why Choose Our Range of 16x100mm Planed Timber?

It is a great quality and versatile choice with a superior finish and also looks aesthetically pleasing. It is easy to see why many people choose to use this type of timber.

So, whether you need really short pieces of timber or really long pieces, we should have exactly what you need in stock.

It Can Be Used For A Variety Of Projects

Often used for interiors, planed timber can be used for a number of different projects such as sash windows or shelving. It can also be used outside if you choose to use a treatment to preserve it from the elements. Although softwoods can be prone to moisture penetrating the wood, if you treat them, they will be preserved from the elements.

Sometimes people even use it for their flooring projects where the flooring is on show, or they might even choose to use it for homemade furniture too for a really unique and bespoke piece.

Remember The Two Different Sizes

When it comes to timber, it is important to remember that there is a difference between the two sizes. The first size is the nominal size and the second is the finished size which is the one you will receive. 

The first size is the dimensions of timber when it is cut, graded and kiln-dried in a mill however the finished size relates to when it has been machined and shaven down to a smooth and more aesthetically pleasing dimension. So, when opting for a 16x100mm piece of timber, you will receive a finished size of 12x94mm.  In imperial that's about 0.5x4 inch or more commonly referred to as 4x0.5 timber, before it's been planed.

Payment & Security

Payment methods

Your payment information is processed securely. We do not store credit card details nor have access to your credit card information.

Smooth Finish, Square Edges

This planed timber is machined on all faces to produce a smooth surface and crisp square edges. It reduces splintering and helps you achieve a clean finish in visible areas. It suits shelves, linings, trims, and general carpentry where straight lines matter.
The PSE profile supports accurate fitting because the faces are consistent and easy to mark out. It also makes finishing quicker, as the surface is already smooth and ready for coating.

Length Options for Better Planning

This timber is available in length variants from 0.9m to 4.2m, which helps match material to your cut list. Shorter lengths work well for repairs, braces, and smaller joinery tasks. Longer lengths suit continuous runs such as shelving rails and straight battens where fewer joins improve the finish. Choosing the right length reduces waste and speeds up installation.

Nominal vs Finished Size

The nominal size of 16x100mm refers to the section before machining. Once planed, the finished size supplied is 12x94mm. This difference matters when setting out work, especially where timber must fit into tight openings or align with existing pieces. Use the finished size for accurate spacing, fixing positions, and final appearance.

Ready for Paint, Stain, or Oil

This softwood is easy to cut, drill, and fix with standard tools. The smooth face accepts paint, stain, oil, or lacquer, giving you control over the final look. It is commonly used for interior joinery, but can be used externally when treated correctly. Treatment helps protect against moisture and improves service life in exposed settings.

Clear Coverage and Weight Control

Coverage is simple because this is a linear product, so each variant covers its stated length. With an approximate weight of 575g per metre, you can estimate handling and loading more accurately. The weight scales with length, which helps when ordering mixed sizes for a project. Using one consistent profile also improves alignment across multiple runs, keeping the finish neat.
