Metsä Wood Smooth Planed Whitewood Spruce Stick Timber - 2.4M - 194mm - 18mm

This Whitewood Spruce PSE timber is primarily intended for internal applications. For outdoor use, it would require comprehensive treatment with appropriate weather-resistant preservatives and sealants to protect it from moisture, fungal decay, and insect damage. Untreated, it is not recommended for exterior environments.

'PSE' stands for Planed Square Edge. It signifies that the timber has been machined on all four sides to provide a smooth finish and consistent, square dimensions, making it ready for immediate use in many projects without additional planing.

Yes, this timber accepts paint, stain, varnish, and other finishes very well due to its smooth, planed surface. For optimal results, ensure the surface is clean and dry, and consider a light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper before applying your chosen finish.

This specific variant measures 2.4 meters in length, 194 millimeters in width, and 18 millimeters in thickness. Please note that timber dimensions can sometimes have minor manufacturing tolerances.

Yes, Metsä Wood offers this smooth planed whitewood spruce timber in a variety of other lengths, widths, and thicknesses to accommodate different project requirements. Please consult the product range for information on available variants.

While it can be used for light internal framing (e.g., non-load-bearing partitions, shelving supports), this general-purpose timber is typically not graded for heavy structural, load-bearing applications. For projects requiring specific structural integrity, always consult a building professional or use timber certified for structural use.

Ensure the timber is stored flat, off the ground, and in a dry, consistent environment both before and after cutting. Applying a protective finish as soon as possible after installation can help seal the wood, stabilizing its moisture content and reducing warping.

Always pre-drill pilot holes before inserting nails or screws, especially when working close to the ends or edges of the timber, or when using larger fasteners. Ensure the pilot hole diameter is slightly smaller than the screw shank.

Ensure the timber surface is clean, dry, and free of dust and debris before applying any finish. For best results, a light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 180-220 grit) can improve adhesion and surface smoothness. Apply finishes in thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between applications.
