Planed Softwood Timber 19x75mm is smooth, ready-to-work timber for interior joinery and bespoke pieces, supplied in a finished size of 14x69mm. This timber is sawn and planed to provide a clean, splinter-free surface that’s easy to finish. The 19x75mm designation is the nominal size; after planing and kiln drying, you receive the finished size of 14x69mm. It’s produced from softwood, making it a versatile option for a range of interior projects. Exterior use is possible if the timber is properly treated and maintained to resist moisture and decay. Key features and practical points - Finish-ready surface: smooth faces and edges, designed to accept stains, oils or lacquers without heavy preparation. - Material: softwood, suitable for interior applications such as joinery, shelving and decorative pieces; exterior use only if treated and regularly maintained. - Length options: available in a variety of lengths from 0.9m up to 4.2m, so you can buy exactly what you need for short pieces or long runs. - Aesthetics: a clean, uniform appearance that’s often chosen where the timber will be visible, providing a neat backdrop for hardware and fittings. - Working characteristics: easy to cut, drill and fix with standard timber methods; planed surfaces help achieve precise joins and reduced splintering during assembly. - Finishing: accepts a range of coatings – stains for colour, oils for a natural look, or lacquers for a durable shield. Applications and suitability - Ideal for interior detailing such as shelving, sash windows, built-in storage, and feature furniture where the timber will be on show. - Can be used for flooring or paneling in low-moisture interiors; if used in potentially damp or exposed environments, ensure appropriate treatment and ongoing maintenance. - Great for custom installers and timber framers who need consistent stock with a smooth finished appearance. Care and handling tips - Store in a dry, well-ventilated area off the ground; keep away from direct moisture. - Use sharp blades and pre-drill where necessary to avoid splitting. - If used outdoors, apply an appropriate preservative and recoat as required by the product and environment. Note on sizes - Nominal size: 19x75mm; finished size: 14x69mm. When planning, use the finished size for accurate joins and fittings.
