Redwood PSE 20mm x 44mm is a planed square edge softwood board, finished smooth on all four faces for clean, accurate joinery work. Cut from slow-grown European redwood, it offers straight grain, reliable stability, and consistent workability, making it a practical choice for a wide range of interior timber applications.
Specifications
| Material | European Redwood (Pinus sylvestris) |
| Finish | Planed Square Edge (PSE), smooth on all four faces |
| Nominal Size | 25mm x 50mm (nominal) |
| Finished Size | 20mm x 44mm |
| Profile | Square edge, straight |
| Treatment | Untreated |
| Use Class | Internal / protected environments |
| Lengths available | 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 125mm (cut to length) |
What it's used for
- Interior shelving and shelf supports where a slim, accurate board is needed
- Window boards, window sill linings, and internal sill trims
- Boxing-in of pipes, soil stacks, and service ducts in kitchens and bathrooms
- Furniture components, cabinet framing, and small joinery details
Fitting and handling
Allow the timber to acclimatise in the room where it will be fitted for at least 48 hours before fixing, particularly in heated or humid environments such as kitchens, to minimise movement after installation. Fix with screws or oval nails through the face or use construction adhesive on boxing-in work, ensuring any cut ends are sealed if the board is close to moisture. For a painted finish, a primer coat applied to all faces, including the back face, will help maintain stability and reduce the risk of warping over time.
FAQ
What is the difference between PSE timber and PAR timber?
PSE (Planed Square Edge) and PAR (Planed All Round) are used interchangeably throughout the UK timber trade and refer to the same product: softwood planed smooth on all four faces to a precise finished size. Both terms describe this 20mm x 44mm board.
Can this redwood PSE be used in a bathroom or kitchen?
This board is supplied untreated and is best suited to dry interior conditions. In bathrooms or kitchens, it can be used for boxing-in or shelving provided it is well sealed with paint, oil, or varnish on all faces, including cut ends, and is not in direct contact with water or persistent damp.
What finished size should I order if my project calls for a 1 inch by 2 inch board?
The 20mm x 44mm finished size is the closest metric equivalent to a nominal 1 inch by 2 inch (25mm x 50mm) sawn board. The reduction in size is the result of the planing process, which is standard across the UK softwood trade.
