millwork

Prefabricated wooden trim

Millwork refers to wooden products manufactured in a mill—doors, window frames, moldings, trim, and other finished woodwork used in building interiors.

The term distinguishes factory-made components from custom carpentry done on-site: The contractor ordered all the millwork from a local supplier.

A millwork shop produces these standardized architectural elements.
