Planed Softwood Timber 25x25mm (1 x 1 inch) finished size 19x19mm

Planed Softwood Timber 25x25mm (finished size 19x19mm) is a versatile, smooth timber intended for interior joinery and visible features. This stock is planed on all surfaces to a uniform finish, making it suitable for projects where appearance matters.

What is planed timber? Planed timber, often called Planed Square Edge (PSE) or Planed All Round (PAR), is sawn timber that has been planed to create smooth faces and edges. PSE timber is typically used where only select faces are visible, while PAR is used when all sides will be seen. Our 25x25mm stock sits in this category and is intended for interior use, with external applications possible when properly treated.

Why choose our 25x25mm planed timber? The planed finish delivers a clean, smooth surface with defined edges, making it easier to stain, oil or lacquer. It’s well suited to feature pieces such as shelving, window reveals or bespoke furniture, and can be finished to a clean show-piece or a more rustic look depending on the treatment. The timber is softwood, which machines well and takes finishes readily when prepared. It is available in a range of lengths so you can match short repair work or longer installations without joining pieces mid-project.

Dimensions and availability: Nominal size 25x25mm, finished size approximately 19x19mm due to planing and drying. Lengths range from 0.9m to 4.2m, providing options for everything from small internal trims to longer run projects.

Practical use and care: For interiors, this timber is commonly used for shelving, sash windows or decorative features. If used externally, apply a suitable timber preservative and sealant to protect against moisture and UV. Always account for the finished size when planning cut lists and consider sanding to achieve your desired smoothness before finishing.
