Planed Softwood Timber 25x100mm (4x1 inch) finished size 19x94mm

Planed Softwood Timber 25x100mm, finished size 19x94mm, is a smooth, ready-to-use timber designed for interior joinery and visible fittings. Built for tradespeople and builders, it delivers a clean surface with minimal splinters.

What it is and how it’s prepared: this timber is planed on all faces, commonly referred to as Planed Square Edge (PSE) or Planed All Round (PAR). PAR surfaces are fully planed for the entire piece, while PSE is planed on edges and faces as needed. This product is softwood and can be used where a neat, finished appearance is important.

Finished size and guidance: the nominal size is 25x100mm, but the finished size is 19x94mm after planing. This difference matters for precise fittings and final aesthetics in joinery, shelving and interior details.

Why choose this range:

• Smooth, splinter-free surface ready for staining, oils or lacquers.
• Versatile finish suitable for interior applications; exterior use is possible with appropriate treatment.
• Easy to work with— assists accurate cuts, sanding and finishing for neat joints.
• Widths and lengths available to match project needs, with lengths spanning from 0.9m to 4.2m.
• Competitive pricing achieved through supplier efficiencies, helping you stay within budget.

Use cases and ideal applications:

• Shelves, alcove units and other visible interior fittings where a clean timber look is desired.
• Interior trims and mouldings that benefit from a smooth, ready-to-finish surface.
• Budget-friendly furniture pieces or bespoke items where a natural timber feel is preferred.
• Sash windows or window boards in interiors that will be treated or sealed for protection.

Practical notes: planed softwood can be used externally if properly treated to mitigate moisture ingress. Store timber flat in a dry, ventilated area to minimise movement. When used for flooring or other exposed applications, ensure the surface is finished with a suitable protective coating and maintained to protect against the elements. The product’s finished size should be considered in planning to ensure correct fit and alignment in your build.
