Design & Materials

Materials

Start with the material. Build from there.

Creative Millwork grille solutions are built around four core material families: aluminum, vinyl, bronze, and wood. Each brings a different combination of profile geometry, finish possibilities, application options, and visual character.

Use the material overview to narrow the design direction, then move into compatible grille systems and profiles.
