Planed Softwood Timber 50x125mm (finished size 44x119mm) is a smooth, ready-to-work timber suited to interior joinery and visible timber features. Supplied by Armstrong Cheshire, it offers a practical, affordable option for tradespeople and builders who need a reliable timber that accepts finishes well. This timber is planed to remove rough surfaces, leaving a smooth, splinter-free face. It’s commonly categorised as Planed Square Edge (PSE) or Planed All Round (PAR). PAR is typically used where all sides are on show and may carry a higher price than PSE due to the greater surface finish required. Our range is softwood and designed for interior projects, with exterior use possible when the timber is properly treated and maintained.

• Finishes: smooth planed surfaces accept a wide range of finishes, including stains, oils and lacquers, creating a clean, professional look on show joinery or furniture.
• Sizes and lengths: available in lengths from 0.9m to 4.2m, helping you match pieces to spans and reduce waste on site.
• Finished size: nominal 50x125mm with a finished size of 44x119mm, balancing usable thickness with a precise final fit for visible applications.
• Applications: ideal for interiors such as shelving, sash windows, feature timber elements, and furniture components; can be used externally if treated for exposure.
• Workability and value: easy to cut, shape and drill; affordable option thanks to bulk purchasing, offering consistent quality without compromising finish.
• Treatment guidance: for external exposure, apply a compatible timber preservative and sealant and follow re-treatment schedules recommended by the product manufacturer.

For projects where appearance matters and a smooth, ready-to-fit timber is needed, this 50x125 planed softwood timber provides a practical solution that combines a neat finished look with reliable performance.
