Mouldings
Our experts craft precise cabinet and architectural mouldings to your specifications. Choose from 1,000+ profiles in 30+ wood species, or work with our engineers to design a custom match.
Available in solid, engineered, or finger-jointed options, each piece runs through our proprietary sanding process for a consistent, premium finish and can be delivered primed for true one-coat adhesion—helping you save time on the line.
-
Finger-Joint (FJ)
Our finger-jointing process maximizes lumber yield from shorter cuttings, creating a sustainable, eco-friendly solution that reduces waste.
The result: stable, durable boards up to 24 feet long that resist warping and maintain structural integrity over time.
Well-suited for painted applications, these components—such as custom mouldings and jambs—deliver the seamless look of solid lumber while offering superior performance and long-term reliability.
-
Profile Wrapping
Our profile wrapping delivers design flexibility with wood veneer, vinyl, or paintable paper on a variety of cores. From unique colors and wood grains to on-trend finishes, we help you achieve the look you desire with fast turnaround and durable performance.
-
Sanding
Our proprietary in-line sanding process draws on decades of finishing expertise to create consistent, ready-to-finish surfaces. By reducing knife marks and opening the grain, we deliver uniform surfaces that make staining, clear coating, or painting faster and more reliable.
-
Finishing
Our finishing solutions simplify production and improve efficiency. We supply pre-primed mouldings ready to paint, and offer water-based preservative treatments that exceed WDMA I.S.4 standards for moisture resistance—saving you time while adding long-term protection.
-
Assembly, Pre-Assembly and Kitting
We help streamline your workflow with assembly, pre-assembly, and kitting services that bring all required components together into a single package for efficiency and ease. This reduces errors, shortens assembly time, and keeps your production running smoothly.
