Planed Timber
Planed timber is a type of timber that has been treated to achieve a flat, smooth and uniform surface. Planing is done using a planer, a machine that removes small amounts of wood from the surface of the wood. It is available in various types of wood.
The planing process allows timber to be produced in different thicknesses, widths and lengths, making it suitable for many applications.
Planed lumber is widely used in the construction industry, including furniture and outdoor timber construction. It is ideal for creating surfaces that require smoothness and uniformity, and can be painted or varnished to achieve a desired color and finish.
The advantages of planed timber are many.
- It is very uniform in shape and dimensions, making it ideal for creating smooth and precise structures.
- It is more resistant to stress and warping compared to raw wood, meaning it stays aligned and stable over time.
- Easy to process and cut, making it ideal for a variety of woodworking applications.
- It offers a smooth and attractive finish, making it ideal for creating furniture, windows, doors and other structures that require wood with a uniform appearance.
- Finally, planed timber is more resistant to moisture and weather conditions.
