Letting Wood Shine Outdoors

Homeowners and architects alike are taking outdoor spaces to a new level and adding wood details. Exotic woods are especially dense and hold up exceptionally well to outdoor applications. "We have been manufacturing an increasing number of outdoor mouldings for a variety of specialty projects," says Shannon Rogers of J. Gibson McIlvain Company of Maryland. "One of the most interesting items we have run recently was a traditional gutter assembly circa the 1800's. It was truly amazing". In addition, rainscreens, larger corbels, and exotic siding accents are all being used to add detail and warmth.

With a full palette of colors, textures, and profiles, wood trim and moulding is the finishing touch that completes a truly remarkable space.
