2x1 Inch PSE Timber (Planed Square Edge) and 2x1 PAR Timber (Planed All Round) are made from high-quality Scandinavian softwood, valued for their strength, durability, and smooth finish. While PSE and PAR may seem different, they essentially refer to the same product—a timber planed to create soft, clean surfaces. PSE usually has one planed face with square edges, while PAR is planed on all four sides. Both types are ideal for projects where appearance and a refined finish are key.

Why Choose Scandinavian Softwood Planed Timber?

Our 2x1 planed timber is sourced from Scandinavian softwood, renowned for its strength, stability, and consistent quality. Grown slowly in colder climates, Scandinavian softwoods have a tighter grain, making them more durable and less prone to warping than faster-growing alternatives. This quality makes them ideal for planed timber, offering a smoother finish and enhanced longevity. Our timber has a nominal size of 25x50mm, with a finished size of 19x44mm, ensuring a precise fit and polished appearance for your projects.

Benefits of 2x1 Planed Timber (PSE/PAR)

Whether as PSE or PAR, our planed timber is the preferred choice for many projects requiring a high-quality finish. Planed timber is versatile and often chosen for interior work such as trims, shelving, and framing, where smooth, visible surfaces are important. The splinter-free, smooth surface is easy to handle and can be finished with stains, oils, or lacquers to achieve a wide range of aesthetic effects.

Thanks to the refined quality of our Scandinavian softwood, this timber is ideal for applications such as handmade furniture, sash windows, and even flooring projects where durability and appearance are essential. It can also be used outdoors if treated properly to resist moisture and the elements, allowing for greater flexibility across various uses.

Nominal and Finished Sizes

When buying planed timber, it’s important to understand the difference between nominal and finished sizes. The nominal size refers to the timber’s original dimensions before planing, while the finished size represents its actual measurements after planing. For example, our 2x1 timber (nominal size 25x50mm) is planed down to a finished size of 19x44mm, giving you a smooth, consistent product that’s easy to work with and perfect for detailed projects.

Range of Lengths Available

We offer our Scandinavian softwood planed timber in lengths ranging from 0.9m to 4.2m, so you can find the right size for your project, whether it’s large or small. This variety means you can choose shorter lengths for smaller jobs or longer cuts for larger projects without the need for additional joints or modifications.
