Planed Softwood Timber 16x50mm (finished size 12x44mm) offers a smooth, workable timber option for interior projects, designed for tradespeople and DIY builders who want a reliable surface to cut, shape and finish. It accepts stains, oils and lacquers well, making it suitable for visible joinery and feature pieces. Planed timber is typically available as Planed Square Edge (PSE) or Planed All Round (PAR). PSE has smooth planed surfaces on edges and faces, while PAR is planed on all sides for a uniform appearance where all faces are seen. Our timber is finished to a consistent 12x44mm, providing a clean look for interior work; if you intend outdoor use, you’ll need to apply an appropriate treatment to protect against moisture and weather. Why this size matters: 16x50mm timber strikes a balance between ease of working and structural solidity, making it ideal for shelving supports, window components, trim and other decorative or structural internal pieces. The finish is designed to provide a smooth, uniform surface that accepts finishes evenly, helping you achieve a consistent look across projects. For external applications, select a suitable preservative and sealant to extend durability. Key uses and scenarios:

• Shelving and brackets in living spaces or garages
• Internal trim, battening and framing where a clean edge is preferred
• Feature pieces or small structural members that benefit from a smooth planed finish

Available lengths range from 0.9m up to 4.2m, so you can choose short pieces for joins or long runs for continuous sections. This timber is sourced to offer a practical, affordable option without compromising on a quality finish, helping you stay on budget across multiple jobs.
