What is Millwork?
Millwork refers to woodwork produced in a mill, such as doors, moulding, trim, siding, and custom cabinetry. A room's details make it truly unique, and with custom millwork, you can design pieces that perfectly fit your aesthetic and functional needs. At Talbert Building Supply, we offer millwork solutions that range from architectural millwork to custom-designed doors and moulding. Our experienced team brings years of expertise in designing and crafting custom pieces and is capable of building virtually anything to the highest standards.
Why Choose Custom Millwork?
Custom millwork gives you more control over materials, design, and fit. Here’s why it could be the ideal choice for your home or business:
- Perfect Fit for Your Space:
Unlike standard, mass-produced options, custom millwork is made to your exact specifications. Many use custom millwork to match historical moulding profiles and blend new features with existing styles. Whether you need cabinetry for unique storage or trim that fits an unusual space, it ensures a seamless, precise fit with no awkward gaps or compromises. - Superior Quality and Durability:
Custom millwork uses high-quality materials like hardwoods, which are built to last much longer than off-the-shelf products. With skilled craftsmanship, you get a product that looks great and is designed for long-term use. - Unique Design and Aesthetic Appeal:
Custom millwork allows you to personalize your space with designs that match your style, whether traditional, contemporary, or rustic. From intricate mouldings to custom doors, it adds a polished, high-end look that standard products can't offer. - Eco-Friendly Choices:
With custom millwork, you have control over the materials used, allowing you to choose options like sustainable or reclaimed wood. For those who prioritize eco-friendly choices, custom millwork offers a versatile and sustainable solution.
Common Materials Used in Millwork
Below are some popular wood types often used in custom millwork.
1. Hardwoods (Oak, Maple, Poplar, Sapele):
- Durability: Ideal for high-traffic areas like doors and window casings, resistant to dents and scratches.
- Customization: Can be stained and detailed for a refined look.
- Example: A custom oak door frame adds warmth and longevity to your entryway.
2. Softwoods (Pine, Fir):
- Affordability: Easier to work with and more budget-friendly than hardwoods, suitable for mouldings and trims.
- Customization: Great for painting and easily shaped for custom designs.
- Example: Painted pine moulding offers a flexible and fresh interior look.
3. Plywood:
- Strength: Used for cabinetry and built-ins, resistant to warping.
- Customization: Veneered for a high-end look at a lower cost.
- Example: Plywood cabinetry veneered with cherry for a luxurious finish on a budget.
