hitechengineering Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hi Friends, I am new to this forum and exploring more on woodworking and architectural millwork. I would like to know about what is architectural millwork and where is is used. Who uses it and what the benefits of it. Would love to get relevant answers from the experts in this field. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardA Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 For the most part it's the fancy trimwork used to enhance the visual aspect of a building. Some of it is built into the framing that you can see. Tom is the guy to respond to this, as he does or use to restore antique buildings, constructed in the early part of America.

Bob Lang Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Anything and everything made out of wood that is custom made and isn't cabinets. Moldings, paneling, doors, fireplaces, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAverageCraftsman Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 I used to be an engineer at an architectural millwork management firm. Architectural millwork covered pretty much any finish made of wood; cabinets, fridge panels, coffered ceilings, doors and windows, door and window casing, crown, base. About the only thing we didnt handle that was made of wood was flooring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 I try to stay away from conversations that relate to definitions. Language changes over time, and from place to place. I Googled it, to see what I could find that looked like a good way to explain it, and I like this one the best: https://southshoremillwork.com/defining-architectural-millwork/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 I don’t think this was a legitimate question. The OP’s company (Same name as username, linked in profile) offers architectural millwork drafting services and claim to be experts in that field. Seems fishy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
