Millwork

In Plain English

Finished wood products like trim, molding, cabinetry, and doors that give a building its interior character.

Definition

Millwork refers to finished wood products manufactured in a mill and used for interior architectural elements, including doors, windows, casings, baseboards, crown molding, wainscoting, cabinetry, and custom trim. Millwork is distinguished from rough lumber by its finished, decorative quality. Custom millwork is fabricated to project-specific dimensions and profiles, while stock millwork is available in standard sizes.

Example

The historic bank renovation required custom millwork to recreate the original paneled wainscoting and coffered ceiling details from 1920s drawings.
