Why Architectural Millwork is the Best Way to Enhance Your Space
You may have heard the term architectural millwork before, but what does it really mean? Architectural millwork refers to any visible wood featured within a building’s interior or exterior. Also known as architectural woodworking, it is the creative process that involves the design, fabrication and installation of wood features. They can be a built-in structure or a complete stand-alone feature. If you were to turn a space upside down, furniture and fixtures would fall out, but the millwork would remain attached. This is because custom millwork is designed to fit unique specifications, and is expertly measured and installed. Almost anything made of wood that is either built into or attached to a building can be classified as architectural woodwork, including:
Cabinets
Shelves
Paneling
Doors
Trim
Moldings
Ceilings
Staircases
Custom architectural millwork can be seen in a variety of industries, such as commercial, office, healthcare, restaurants, and retail spaces to name a few. Architectural millwork can provide an unmatched level of quality and luxury. Some other benefits of utilizing architectural millwork in your space include:
Creates a Unique Space
Custom architectural millwork can help to express a company’s individuality. Every detail you choose is a chance to express your business’s personality, from the material used to the color and finish. Tailor-made, custom-built millwork leads to one-of-a-kind pieces designed specifically for your business. Rather than going with a cookie-cutter design, you get fixtures that are customizable and personal. Millwork also lends itself to incorporating upholstered banquette seating, which gives an additional avenue for expression, while providing additional seating for close conversation or individual focus. With these original pieces your whole space will be transformed into something totally unique and striking.
Supports Local Businesses
It can be tough to find qualified craftspeople nowadays since so much is mass produced, but that's not the case with custom architectural millwork. Every project is tailored specifically to the client's needs. When you choose custom architectural millwork, you support local craftsmen and an industry backed by generations of experience and attention to detail. Working with experienced professionals lets you rest easy knowing that your custom architectural millwork will be expertly crafted and installed.
Enhances Experience
Why fit in when you can stand out? Make a stellar first impression by making your space something worth talking about. Custom architectural millwork helps make a great impression on potential customers and gets employees pumped to come to work.
Increases the Value of the Property
Custom woodwork adds personality and can increase the value of your business by making it more unique and memorable. Quality materials and skilled craftsmanship make millwork a valuable asset to any space, adding significant value both aesthetically and financially.
