Planed Softwood Timber 25x150mm (1 x 6 inch) finished size 19x144mm

Planed Softwood Timber 25x150mm, finished to approximately 19x144mm, is a smooth, planed timber option for tradespeople who value a tidy, ready-to-work surface. It’s ideal for interior joinery, shelving and furniture where a clean appearance matters.

What is planed timber? Planed timber, often labelled as PSE (Planed Square Edge) or PAR (Planed All Round), has all edges and surfaces smoothed. PSE is planed on faces but may leave some edges less refined, while PAR timber is finished on all sides, making it a common choice when the board will be on display or visible from multiple angles. Our 6x1 timber (nominal 25x150mm) finishes to around 19x144mm, ensuring you know the exact size you’ll receive after machining.

Why choose our 6x1 planed timber? It delivers a smooth, splinter-free surface that’s easy to work with and looks tidy in sight areas. It’s strong and versatile, suitable for interior uses such as window frames, shelving or custom furniture. The surface accepts paint, stain or varnish well, and the uniform thickness supports accurate lining, jointing and mitre work. With the option to treat for weather resistance, it can be used outdoors where required. We offer a range of lengths from 0.9m up to 4.2m to match project spans, from small fittings to longer structural runs.

Understanding sizes: nominal size refers to the dimensions before planing, while finished size is what you receive after machining. Knowing this helps you plan cut lists and joinery accurately.

Who is this for? Builders, carpenters and DIYers who prioritise a clean, uniform timber face for joinery and cabinetry, or for projects where the timber will be exposed. It’s a practical option when you want consistent results with minimal hand finishing.
