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?
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.
