L ike a frame around a picture, wood finishings enhance a space while also reflecting and reinforcing its overall design aesthetic. From wood mouldings, baseboards and window casings to exposed beams and wainscotting, these subtle details can have a big impact. But deciding on the style and material for these essential finishing touches can be a challenge. That’s where the experts at Markan Wood Millers come in. As specialists in solid wood architectural mouldings and accessories, they have the knowledge and experience to help customers with projects of all sizes, from single rooms to entire homes. Based in PEI, the company serves clients across the Maritimes and Canada, from homeowners and do- it-yourselfers to architects, interior designers, contractors and builders. Their retail location in Charlottetown includes a showroom while their 30,000 sq. ft. manufacturing shop in Cornwall works to provide everything a customer could want. From here the company produces a wide selection of mouldings, casings, plinths, handrails and wainscotting as part of their in-stock offerings. With a recent expansion–their fourth during the nearly ten years they’ve been operating–they have added the manufacturing of prehung doors to their already extensive product line. Customers can shop from the company’s catalogue or work with their expert staff on custom designs. “We are locally owned and operated with a large custom shop,” says owner/ operator Lorne Singleton. ”We do
high-end custom work all over the Maritimes, in any type of wood the customer prefers. We can make things that no one else can.” In addition to custom mouldings, these specialty offerings include items like fireplace mantels, exposed wood “faux” beams and butcher block countertops made to any size. The company’s custom work extends to historical mouldings, which they can match perfectly to ensure a seamless renovation. “We have the ability to recreate any historical profile, as a reproduction or from scratch,” notes Singleton. And it’s not just interior design elements that Markan Wood Millers offers, but exterior PVC as well, along with items like custom trim, door frames, railings and post wraps that add immediate curb appeal to a home. A wide selection of door locks and hardware allows for a highly customized look on both exterior and interior doors. Builders and contractors can count on Markan Wood Millers to deliver on time and on budget, whether they opt for pre-made items or custom designs. “With our large facility, we can easily handle large commercial orders,” states Singleton. People looking to tackle a project on their own can purchase lumber, milled to the exact size they need in any of the many varieties of wood on offer. “We currently have 20-25 different exotic species in stock,” Singleton says. “Big or small, we can help. We have in-depth knowledge of what woods will work best for the customer to meet the job requirements.” Whether embarking on a custom project or shopping from existing inventory, customers can count on the experts at Markan Wood Millers to make their design vision a reality.
