What is Millwork?

MillworkMillwork is any type of woodwork that is produced in a mill. This includes doors, molding, trim, flooring, wall paneling and crown molding.

Millwork is a wooden product that has been produced in a mill. Molding and flooring are often produced in mills and are therefore considered to be millwork. Millwork may also include decorative products, such as mantels and door casings. Millwork can be made from common woods such as pine and oak, but it may also include uncommon woods such as fir, poplar, hickory and maple. Some manufactured wood products also have a high enough density to be used for millwork, such as MDF. Millwork products only need nails, screws or adhesives to be installed, which makes using them easy and convenient. Millwork can be at standard lengths and can be stained or painted. When purchasing millwork, cabinetmakers need to be sure that they purchase enough of a single product to complete their project because millwork is not always consistent.
