A Beginner’s Guide to Millwork: Understanding What’s Included

Millwork refers to any type of woodwork that is produced in a mill or
woodworking shop. It typically includes a wide range of products, such as doors,
windows, moldings, trim, paneling, and other decorative woodwork. Millwork can
be custom-made to fit the specific needs and design preferences of a particular
project, or it can be produced in standard sizes and styles for use in various
applications.
