Reclaimed Wood: A Rich Resource

Reclaimed wood is a rich resource for designers. Our best suppliers acquire buildings and reclaim every reusable resource—not just wood, but also bricks, copper, hardware, steel and any other materials for which there is an existing market. Good Millwork manufactures architectural moldings and millwork from vintage wood reclaimed from a variety of sources including old buildings and factories, textile mills, barns, waterways, river bottoms, railroads, fallen and dead trees, wharfs and docks, and wine barrels.

Do You Have Back Band?

Yes, these profiles can be found among the CAPS in our "Moulding Profile Selector". Back band is often used with other profiles to enhance or add depth to an otherwise thinner piece of moulding. Most often with case mould around windows and doors. Below is an ordinary 3" case mould made extraordinary by adding 1-1/6" to the width and 3/4" to the thickness with the addition of a back band.

Wood that Won’t Burn? Contradiction? We questioned it as well. The distributor on the other end of this inquisition probably felt like Colonel Jessep. We CAN handle the truth, but we’re not pushovers and it wasn’t going to be easy.

Here's the rundown:

1. Doesn’t Burn – Class-A fire retardant.

2. Won’t Rot – 40 year guarantee.

3. Safe – No volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

4. Green – Reduces carbon dioxide emissions.

5. Real wood – No synthetics, no polymers.

6. Insect proof – EPA approved non-toxic barrier.

We took the TimberSIL, glass infused wood, and cut siding, crown molding, shake shingles and even built shutters. The end products looked great and felt to be about 30% denser than untreated southern yellow pine. We were pleasantly surprised until we saw the fire video… then we asked ourselves, “How could you go wrong?”
