What is the difference between millwork and casework?
If you are in the lumber market looking for woodworking or millwork, don’t be surprised if you hear the word ‘casework’ very often. Don’t mistake it for millwork – they are very different things.
The main difference between millwork and casework is that the former is personalized depending on your preferences while the latter is a mass-produced design.
Casework refers to a wide selection of boxed furniture products, such as display and storage cabinets, racks, drawers, bookcases, and kitchen drawers. When you buy casework products, you cannot opt for bespoke wood designs. Most of these products are part of modules, such as interior furniture. They are pre-fabricated to reach the market without customization options.
Still, when you purchase custom millwork, you know you are getting lumber/a product that is designed entirely for your requirements.
Among other options, we stock all kinds of domestic hardwoods at Tropical Forest Products. Check out.
What kind of woodwork can you get with it?
Looking for millwork for your lumber? There is a range of finishes and products to choose from. Of course, the mill can only perform those tasks which the wood is suitable for. That’s why basic millwork sawing and cutting can be performed on virtually any lumber, custom products are generally made from common woods such as poplar and oak. These types of hardwoods are highly resistant to decay, mold, mildew, and insect attacks. Therefore, they are ideal for both interior and exterior installations.
