Millwork: Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about millwork? We have answers. This guide covers some of the most common questions our customers ask about millwork, from its basic definition to its many applications in your home.

What Exactly Is Millwork?

Millwork refers to any building product that is produced in a mill. This traditionally includes items made from wood, such as doors, windows, trim, and moulding. Modern millwork can also incorporate other materials like composites, plastics, and fiberglass. Essentially, if it’s an interior or exterior finish element that was manufactured off-site, it’s likely considered millwork.

What Are the Main Types of Millwork Products?

Millwork encompasses a wide range of products used to add functional and decorative finishes to a building. Common examples include:

• Doors: Both interior and exterior doors in various styles and materials.
• Windows: Complete window units, including frames and sashes.
• Moulding and Trim: This includes crown moulding, baseboards, door and window casings, chair rails, and wainscoting.
• Stair Parts: Components like handrails, balusters, newel posts, and treads.
• Cabinetry: Custom and stock kitchen and bathroom cabinets.
• Wall Paneling: Decorative panels that add texture and character to walls.

What Is the Difference Between Millwork and Casework?

While the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, there is a distinction. Millwork generally refers to the custom, built-in elements like trim and mouldings. Casework, on the other hand, typically refers to box-shaped furniture, such as cabinets, bookshelves, and storage units. At American Cedar & Millwork, we can help you with both.

What Are the Benefits of Choosing Custom Millwork?

Custom millwork offers several advantages over standard, off-the-shelf products. It allows for a perfect fit for your space, ensuring there are no awkward gaps or sizing issues. You also have complete control over the design, material, finish, and style, enabling you to create a truly unique look that matches your vision. High-quality custom millwork is a durable, long-lasting investment that can significantly increase your home’s value and aesthetic appeal.

What Materials Are Commonly Used for Millwork?

Wood is the traditional and most popular material for millwork, with options ranging from paint-grade poplar and pine to stain-grade hardwoods like oak, maple, and cherry. However, advancements in manufacturing have introduced other excellent materials, including:

• Wood: This is the most traditional of the materials used for Millwork. You can choose from a variety of different woods as a customization option.
• Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF): A cost-effective and stable option for painted trim and panels.
• Composite Materials: Engineered products that offer enhanced durability and low maintenance.

Can I Install Millwork Myself?

While some simpler projects, like installing baseboards or door casing, can be a DIY job for a skilled homeowner, more complex millwork requires professional installation. Intricate work such as crown moulding, wainscoting, or custom cabinetry demands precision, specialized tools, and expertise to achieve a flawless finish. We recommend consulting with a professional contractor to ensure your investment is installed correctly for lasting beauty and performance.

How Do I Care For and Maintain My Millwork?

Proper care will keep your millwork looking great for years. For interior wood millwork, regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth is usually sufficient. For a deeper clean, use a mild wood cleaner and avoid harsh chemicals. For exterior millwork, periodically check for signs of wear and repaint or reseal as needed to protect it from the elements. Ensure it remains free of moisture to prevent rot.
