What is architectural woodworking?

Architectural woodworking solutions are a popular choice for many designers looking to enhance the aesthetic appeal of their buildings. Not only does it look nice, it normally has an alternative function as well. Common examples of architectural woodworking solutions include headwalls, wood veneer casework, plastic laminate casework, wall paneling, standing and running trim, custom wood grilles, wood trellis, die walls, learning stairs, nurse stations, column wraps, custom wood features & elements, ornamental metals, solid surfaces, and more.

What buildings have architectural woodwork?

Since there is a wide range of applications, almost every building has some form of architectural woodwork. This includes schools, hospitals, civic buildings, universities, private projects, and more. Architectural Woodwork helps to warm the environment by softening hard surfaces, which creates an overall welcoming area. For example, in healthcare spaces, studies have shown that incorporating natural elements in those settings helps with patient healing and mindset.

an evolving industry

Architects and designers are constantly challenging the industry of architectural woodwork. It is common in buildings to see radius wood elements and other overhead trellis structures requiring specialty fabrication and a high level of craftsmanship. These elements help to enhance the character of the building while attracting potential tenants and customers alike. The industry constantly evolves, and many product offerings can be incorporated into project designs.

Similar to other industries, there are different levels of quality associated with architectural woodwork. Designers and architects often create a design element that can be built with different processes or materials that will retrain the design intent. This process is called value engineering.
