Specifying Architectural Millwork, a Web Reach with the Woodwork Institute


About This Program

This seminar provides in-depth information for specifying both laminate and wood veneer cabinets and millwork oriented to commercial and institutional spaces. From core materials to laminate types, veneer species and panel matching, the different options are covered along with pros and cons of each and how to choose the appropriate one for your project. Site conditions for delivery and storage are the starting point, then on through materials, surface types, hardware and finishing systems. Getting the right information to the fabricator is critical to ensuring the final product meets the job requirements and the design intent. This seminar will help get you there.
