Dressed timber: uses and selection
Dressed All Round (DAR) timber is planed to provide smoother faces and more consistent finished dimensions than rough-sawn timber. It is commonly chosen where the timber will remain visible, receive paint or clear finishing, or be used for interior joinery and detailed carpentry. Planing improves the finish, but suitability still depends on species, grade, treatment and the conditions where it will be installed.
Selection considerations
- Finished size after machining
- Interior or exterior exposure
- Required appearance, straightness and finish
- Whether treatment or a structural grade is required
Dressed timber versus rough-sawn timber
Choose dressed timber when surface finish and consistent dimensions are important. Rough-sawn timber is often preferred where appearance is less important or where the project calls for a rough finish. Confirm the required finished dimensions before ordering.
