How Architectural Details Will Uplevel Your Space
Custom woodwork and millwork sets your space apart.
Everything you need to know about woodwork & millwork.
What sets your home or commercial space apart? Your same light fixtures are being used in hundreds, if not thousands, of other places. Your layout might be standard (because, hey, the traffic flow just makes sense). Your furnishings and decor might be custom, semi-custom, or straight from the big box store.
You look at your space and think, "What else can I do to make this reflect the rich values, the story, and the legacy that I want people to tangibly experience when they enter?"
We have the answer: Custom woodwork and millwork. Look at any historically-acclaimed or award-winning, modern building. They always have custom woodwork, millwork, or a combination thereof. This is what sets spaces apart and makes them quite nearly impossible to duplicate.
WHAT IS WOODWORK?
Architectural woodwork is any exposed wood that is meant to be included in your finished space. This includes wooden cabinetry, paneling, staircases, ceilings, molding, doors, trim, and flooring. Exposed structural components, such as beams and supports, can also be considered architectural woodwork. Most often, this woodwork serves both an aesthetic and utilitarian function (e.g. kitchen cabinetry).
2. WHAT IS MILLWORK?
Millwork is often used as another name for woodwork, but the two terms aren't quite interchangeable. Millwork can include standalone pieces, structures made of wood, and can also refer to those made of plastic, plaster, or laminate. Non-wood millwork is most often found in business and hospitality spaces.
3. DO YOU NEED BOTH?
Many custom cabinetry or architectural firms will specialize in both woodwork and millwork, as the two crafts are often beautifully combined. Think of your ideal custom cabinets. Are they made entirely of wood? Often not. Instead, they will include glass panels — and perhaps even fabric panels or metal accents and features.
