Reliable Lead Times with UK Manufacturing

Thanks to our partnership with Millworks, all Grad-compatible timber is manufactured to order, ensuring a tailored approach to every project. While there will always be a lead time, this is significantly reduced compared to ordering from Europe, providing faster access to high-quality, precision-machined timber. Whether you're working on a large-scale commercial development or a bespoke residential installation, this UK-based manufacturing solution helps keep your projects on schedule while minimising downtime.

Innovative Wood Finishes – Factory-Applied 

Millworks offers three specialist finishing systems, each designed to enhance timber’s durability and aesthetic appeal:

​

  • Mokuzai® – Inspired by traditional Japanese ‘Yakisugi’ technique, Millworks Mokuzai® products have been created with modern living and sustainability in mind. Innovative manufacturing processes are used to finish with the appearance of heavily charred timber but with improved longevity. Mokuzai® ‘Charred’ offers an affordable, hardwearing alternative to traditionally charred timber products, delivering the same bespoke aesthetic without compromise on quality or performance.

  • MillCoat® – Designed to both enhance the appearance of timber and provide protection against adverse weathering and UV degradation, MillCoat® wood stain system offers high performing coloured timber. The MillCoat® system has been developed to penetrate the boards surface forming a protective barrier that shields against the elements whilst allowing the timber to breathe.

  • OrganoWood® – Using advanced technology to mimic natural weathering, OrganoWood® treated timber acquires a uniform, weathered finish with long lasting durability. This innovative 2 step system provides timber protection and accelerated silver-grey weathering. Organic silicon compounds penetrate into the timber creating a protective surface barrier that enhances protection against decay and repels water for extended longevity.

Precision-Machined Profiles for a Perfect Fit

Millworks has become our first UK timber manufacturing partner to invest in a state-of-the-art Grad® grooving machine. This ensures every board is precisely machined to fit the Grad® rail system, reducing installation time, eliminating on-site adjustments, and providing a flawless hidden-fix finish.
