You may wonder if planed timber is the timber you need, what exactly it is, and what it can be used for. Here is more information to help you decide and find the 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 surfaces and edges are planed to a smooth finish. PAR is a little more costly than PSE as it is used in projects where all sides are visible.

This type of timber is suitable for several different applications. It is usually used in projects where appearance is important or a clean finish is required. Planed timber will usually be used if the wood is on show, 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 or PAR timber for your project, the result will look great. This type of timber we sell is all made from softwood trees.

It Can Be Used For A Variety Of Projects

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

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

Remember The Two Different Sizes

Regarding timber, it is essential to remember that there is a difference between the two sizes. The first is the nominal size, and the second is the finished size you will receive.

The first size is the timber's dimensions when 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 25x100mm piece of timber, you will receive a finished size of 19x94mm. In Imperial, that's about 4x1 inches, more commonly referred to as 4x1 timber before it's been planned.
