How We Make Our Wood Mouldings
Our fine wood
mouldings (sometimes spelled
moldings) are manufactured to the highest standards using the finest computerized
moulding manufacturing equipment available. We begin by selecting the finest quality
hardwoods available. These
hardwoods are kiln dried to
Bossen Architectural Millwork’s rigid standards to minimize moisture content and maintain the utmost quality and stability of our
mouldings.
After the
lumber is thoroughly climatized, we begin by rip-sawing the
lumber to the proper width. If necessary, we will also pre-plane the
lumber to a more suitable thickness thus reducing strain on the equipment and enabling us to better control the smoothness of our
mouldings. In the final step, the prepared
lumber is passed through one of our 6 head
Weinig moulding machines. Every length of
moulding is inspected upon leaving the machine. Our cutters for each
moulding run are reground before any
moulding machine is retooled for the next
moulding run. This is the primary reason for the well-known smoothness of our
wood mouldings. It is also why
finishers everywhere prefer our
mouldings.
