Planed Timber 50x50mm (2 x 2 inch) finished size 44x44mm is softwood timber that has been planed on all faces, providing a smooth, splinter-free surface. It’s commonly sold as Planed Square Edge (PSE) or Planed All Round (PAR) depending on whether all sides are visible in the finished project. What it is and when to use it - PSE vs PAR: PSE (square edges on four surfaces) is generally more economical, while PAR (all surfaces planed) is chosen when every side will be visible and a pristine finish is required. - Interior use: primarily intended for internal joinery and visible timberwork where a neat appearance matters. - External use: can be used outside if properly treated and maintained; planing does not replace treatment for weather exposure. Key benefits for tradespeople - Smooth, splinter-free finish: ideal for staining, oils or lacquers and easy to work with with power tools or hand tools. - Consistent dimensions: finished size of 44x44mm ensures a predictable fit in joinery, shelving and framing projects. - Versatile aesthetics: a clean look that suits feature pieces, window features, shelving and decorative battens. Product specifics you’ll value - Size and finish: nominal 50x50mm, finished 44x44mm; planed on all surfaces for a neat appearance. - Range of lengths: available from 0.9m up to 4.2m, so you can match short runs or long spans without joins. - Material type: sourced from softwoods, suitable for interior applications; exterior use requires appropriate treatment to resist moisture. Practical use cases - Internal shelving, picture ledges, framing, battening and sash window details where a smooth, uniform timber is desired. - Decorative interior features or where timber will be exposed and needs to look clean and refined. - When used outdoors, ensure ends are sealed and timber is treated to enhance durability and longevity. Tips for best results - Acclimatise timber to site conditions before cutting to minimise movement. - Seal ends if timber is to be stored or exposed to moisture or outdoors. - Prepare with compatible primers, stains or lacquers appropriate to softwood for the final finish. In short, Planed Timber 50x50mm offers a reliable, smooth timber solution for visible interior projects and selective exterior applications when treated, with practical lengths to suit a wide range of trades and builds.

Learn more about Planed Timber

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.

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.

- 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.

Why Choose Our Range of 50x50mm Planed Timber?

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 50x50mm piece of timber, you will receive a finished size of 44x44mm.  In Imperial that's about 2x2 inch timber, before it's been planed.
