The Story
Redwood PSE timber 12mm x 32mm is a smooth, planed softwood cut for interior joinery, trim, and light construction work. Slow-grown Scandinavian redwood, planed on all four sides to consistent dimensions, gives a clean finish straight from the pack and takes paint or stain without fuss.
Specifications
| Material | Scandinavian Redwood (Pinus sylvestris) |
|---|---|
| Treatment | Untreated |
| Finish | Planed Square Edge (PSE) - planed on all four faces |
| Finished Size | 12mm x 32mm |
| Profile | Square edge |
| Use Class | Interior and protected environments only |
What it's used for
- Architrave backing strips and shadow-gap trim in plastered rooms
- Batten frameworks for boxing-in pipes, soil stacks, and service ducts
- Furniture carcassing fillets, shelf edging, and cabinet framing components
- Light interior grounds and packing pieces behind skirting and door linings
Fitting and handling
Store the timber flat and off the ground in a dry, ventilated space. Allow at least 48 hours for the boards to acclimatise to the room temperature and humidity before fixing, particularly in heated rooms, to reduce any movement after installation. The section cuts cleanly with a fine-tooth hand saw or circular saw, drills without splitting when piloted correctly, and glues or pins well for joinery applications where screw fixing is not practical.
FAQ
Can this 12mm x 32mm redwood PSE be used outside?
This timber is supplied untreated and is not suitable for exposed external use without appropriate preservative treatment and a durable finish such as exterior paint or oil. For sheltered external positions, treat all faces, edges, and end grain thoroughly before installation.
What is the difference between PSE timber and PAR timber?
PSE (Planed Square Edge) and PAR (Planed All Round) describe the same process - timber that has been machined smooth on all four faces to a consistent finished size. The two terms are used interchangeably in the UK trade. The finished size will always be smaller than the nominal sawn size.
Is 12mm x 32mm redwood PSE available in longer lengths or larger volumes?
Nottage Timber Merchants supply both trade and retail customers, with volume quantities available. Contact the yard directly in Bridgend to discuss cut lengths, pack sizes, or regular supply arrangements to suit your project or business needs.
