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.

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 38x75mm piece of timber, you will receive a finished size of 32x69mm.  In imperial that's about 1.5x3 inch or more commonly referred to as 3x1.5 timber, before it's been planed. 

We know choosing timber can sometimes be a little daunting so we will help you find exactly the right timber for you and your project. No matter what your budget is, we can help you find the right item. Please don’t hesitate to get in contact today.

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.

Straight, Smooth, Ready

This planed softwood is machined for a clean surface and crisp edges. It is designed for jobs where the timber will be seen and a tidy finish matters. The consistent profile helps you mark out, cut, and fix with less waste and less time spent sanding.
The stated size includes a nominal dimension and a finished dimension. Nominal refers to the size before machining, while the finished size is what you receive after planing. For this product, 38x75mm finishes down to 32x69mm for a smoother, more accurate section.

PSE Timber for Clean Joinery

PSE stands for Planed Square Edge, which means the timber is planed and left with square corners rather than a rounded edge. This makes it a strong fit for trims, framing, shelving, and built-in work where straight lines matter. It also helps joints pull up tighter when you glue, screw, or nail through the face.

Finish It Your Way

The planed surface is built for finishing. It accepts stain, oil, paint, and varnish without heavy prep, so you can match existing woodwork or create a new look. If you’re using it in a visible area, a light key and top coat is often all you need for a sharp result.

Coverage and Weight Clarity

Coverage is simple: each length covers its full run from end to end, from 0.9m up to 4.2m. The finished section is 32x69mm, so it stays consistent across cuts and joints. Approximate weight is 1016g per metre, which helps when planning handling and storage on site.

Versatile for Site and Workshop

This size works well for general carpentry where you need a solid, stable section. Use it for internal framing, utility battens, basic joinery, and project builds. If you intend to use it outdoors, choose a suitable preservative or specify treated timber for better weather resistance.
