T<br />

he warmth <strong>of</strong> wood...<br />

Have you ever entered a home and said to yourself,<br />

“This feels nice—really comfortable?”<br />

Many things contribute to the success <strong>of</strong> a home’s interior—design, colors,<br />

furnishings. The natural beauty and warmth <strong>of</strong> hardwoods is also a key element to<br />

what many refer to as a “homey feel” or “warm and inviting.” <strong>Mouldings</strong> are<br />

significant in making that happen.<br />

From the simple to the extravagant, <strong>Ferche</strong> has the ideas, styles, designs and wood<br />

species to please the most discriminating. We hope this guide to mouldings assists<br />

you in finding the perfect look for your home.<br />

Standard Series<br />

The moulding selection process can be a complicated one. The<br />

first several pages contain groups <strong>of</strong> mouldings that would be<br />

considered standards <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Ferche</strong> lineup. These seven groupings<br />

are all shown in red oak, a mainstay in the upper midwest.<br />

However, any pr<strong>of</strong>ile can be obtained in any wood specie. As you<br />

continue through the brochure, you will discover more ideas,<br />

options, styles and looks that will guide you through the process<br />

and help you define your home’s interior.<br />

This page shows two styles in red oak that are <strong>of</strong>ten used in starter<br />

homes. The casing and base perform the function designed for<br />

mouldings—cover an unfinished edge, such as drywall, in order to give a<br />

finished appearance. Chair rail is used to protect a wall from chair<br />

damage or to separate the upper and lower walls which may have<br />

different colors or textures. Crown is used as an architectural accent,<br />

defining the ceiling line with an interesting shape, texture or color.<br />

The simplest and most economical mouldings are <strong>of</strong>tentimes<br />

referred to as “Ranch” and “Princeton.” The casing is generally<br />

7/16" thick and 2 1/4" wide. The base is 3/8" x 2 3/4". These<br />

sizes are adequate for modestly priced homes. Larger mouldings<br />

are more appropriate for more expensive homes.


A flat casing and base are <strong>of</strong>ten used with a design style called “Craftsman”<br />

or “Mission.” This style calls for very clean lines with minimal curves and<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>iling <strong>of</strong> the mouldings. Red oak, with its interesting and more active<br />

graining, is a species that works well with the contrasting simple lines <strong>of</strong><br />

this style. The examples shown here have a 3 1/4" casing and a 5 1/4"<br />

base. This size would be a move-up package from the most economical sizes<br />

shown on the previous page. This size is well suited for rooms with 9'<br />

ceilings or larger proportions.<br />

This moulding package contains a bevel casing, similar to the casing<br />

on the previous page, but thicker and wider. It could be categorized<br />

as traditional or colonial. The crown has been enhanced by the<br />

addition <strong>of</strong> a base moulding behind it, which gives the crown a<br />

heavier look without adding as much cost as a one piece crown <strong>of</strong> the<br />

same perceived size. The base shown here is a hardwood veneer over<br />

an MDF core with a solid hardwood top edge. This product is less<br />

expensive than a solid base <strong>of</strong> the same size. The chair rail is wider<br />

with a more defined pr<strong>of</strong>ile shape.<br />

Standard Series<br />

Premium 1<br />

The crown and chair rail to the right contain notched mouldings called<br />

dentil. The dentil adds another set <strong>of</strong> shadows and visual texture to give<br />

interest to the mouldings. This moulding package could be used<br />

successfully in traditional or colonial settings. The scale <strong>of</strong> these<br />

mouldings is appropriate for homes with 9' and taller ceilings and rooms<br />

<strong>of</strong> larger proportions.<br />

These two examples show 3 1/4" bevel casing being used with a<br />

backband, bringing the overall width to 3 3/4". The backband, selected<br />

to match the style <strong>of</strong> the casing, gives the casing a more substantial look<br />

and works well if the base or chair rail (which butts into the casing) is<br />

thicker than the casing alone. This gives the casing a much heavier look<br />

without a significant increase in price. Making the same shape in one<br />

piece <strong>of</strong> wood is much more expensive.<br />

<strong>Ferche</strong> has several sizes and styles <strong>of</strong> the miterless system using corner<br />

and plinth blocks. Blocks are most used with flat casings like the<br />

F160 shown at left. Other similar casings are F161 and F163.<br />

Smaller casings at 2 3/8" wide and larger flat casings at 5 1/2" are<br />

available with corresponding plinth and corner blocks.<br />

The mouldings for those who would<br />

like to express themselves with a<br />

creative flair is F169. This<br />

moulding can be used with 2 types<br />

<strong>of</strong> inserts, a reeded one (F169B) to<br />

add shadow lines or a smooth one<br />

(F169A) which can be clear-coated,<br />

painted or wrapped in a<br />

complimentary wall covering. These<br />

are used with plinth and corner<br />

blocks. Now you can redecorate<br />

your mouldings when you redecorate<br />

your room.<br />

Decorator Series<br />

The Decorator Series is <strong>Ferche</strong> <strong>Millwork</strong>’s answer to<br />

simple sophistication. When a home reaches a<br />

higher level <strong>of</strong> design sophistication, it is expected<br />

that the mouldings also will have significant thought<br />

put into their design and that’s what <strong>Ferche</strong> has<br />

done for you. Each family <strong>of</strong> mouldings brings you<br />

base, casing, chair rail and crown that have been<br />

created to match each other.<br />

The simplicity lies in the fact that architectural<br />

correctness is obtained with a single moulding<br />

selection. One decision and you’re done! What<br />

could be easier or more beautiful?<br />

Window and Door Toppers<br />

Exquisite looks. Quick to install. Designed to be cost<br />

effective.<br />

The toppers are assembled by <strong>Ferche</strong> <strong>Millwork</strong> to fit<br />

your door and window openings. Mix and match<br />

wood species to suit your interior design theme. The<br />

system has been designed to give you the look <strong>of</strong><br />

luxury for little more than the price <strong>of</strong> a simple<br />

cased opening.<br />

The 3/4" thick topper measures approximately 6"<br />

tall at ends and, on those with a top arc, 7" in the<br />

center. The casing with backband measures 3 3/4 -<br />

4" wide. Depending on the backband style, the sides<br />

will allow for a base/basecap with up to a 3/4" - 1"<br />

projection.<br />

With the system, installation is quick. The finish<br />

carpenter simply installs the sides, sets the top, nails<br />

it in place and moves on. Labor savings and<br />

engineered design savings on the sides makes for an<br />

exquisite appearance at a reasonable cost—a<br />

combination that will please builders as well as<br />

homebuyers.<br />

Craftsman Collection<br />

The system gives you the option <strong>of</strong> mixing various<br />

species to bring together other woods used in the<br />

house. For example, the use <strong>of</strong> a walnut floor and<br />

cherry doors can be unified by using trim<br />

containing both species. Or, the use <strong>of</strong> a single<br />

specie can accentuate the design <strong>of</strong> the mouldings<br />

around an opening in a more subtle fashion. Either<br />

way, the window and door openings make a positive<br />

statement regarding the thought and consideration<br />

given to the design <strong>of</strong> the interior trim package.<br />

The casing and backbands can be ordered in any<br />

combination or specie as sides, pieces or random<br />

length product.<br />

Toppers<br />

Another way to embellish the tops <strong>of</strong> windows and<br />

doors is with toppers built on-site. The following<br />

are examples to give you design ideas.<br />

These toppers can be used with a variety <strong>of</strong> casing<br />

styles, including bevel casing (generally 3 1/4" or<br />

wider) like F130, F131, F132 or F196/F134; VIP<br />

Casing like F160, F161, F162 ; or flat casing<br />

(3 1/4" or wider).<br />

Mantels<br />

A mantel is an excellent example <strong>of</strong> utilizing<br />

moulding components in a coordinated way to<br />

achieve a beautiful result. <strong>Ferche</strong> has designed a<br />

number <strong>of</strong> mantels that can be ordered with a single<br />

part number that are packaged with everything<br />

required to construct the mantel. The components<br />

are sized for a 39" x 52" opening and need to be cut<br />

and assembled to fit the firebox and its surround.<br />

EZ Beam<br />

Like all classic beauty, the<br />

beauty <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Ferche</strong> EZ<br />

BEAM interlocking ceiling<br />

beam design is based on the<br />

principle <strong>of</strong> simplicity.<br />

Simple, classic-beam design.<br />

Simple, user-friendly<br />

installation.<br />

Key to EZ BEAM’s simplicity is the interlocking<br />

design. This interlocking feature ensures a fail-safe<br />

registration <strong>of</strong> parts, and provides the nailing<br />

channel through which the parts are fastened. Once<br />

filled, the nail holes will be virtually invisible. EZ<br />

Beam makes installation as easy to understand as it<br />

is to accomplish. You’ll take great pride in the<br />

finished job. No major remodeling. No weeks-onend<br />

<strong>of</strong> unlivable workspace.<br />

Adding the EZ BEAM system to your home is a<br />

simple, beautiful way to add value, charm and a rich<br />

sense <strong>of</strong> quality to any living space. Whatever the<br />

species, a <strong>Ferche</strong> EZ Beam system will add<br />

distinction and visual impact to any room.<br />

Installation<br />

An EZ BEAM ceiling can be laid out in proportion<br />

to the custom specifications <strong>of</strong> any room. Beam<br />

sides differ in height, the tallest trimming the<br />

perimeter <strong>of</strong> the room, a shorter beam providing<br />

the main beam structure running the length <strong>of</strong> the<br />

room, the smallest serving as the cross members<br />

between the main beams.<br />

25


EZ Beam<br />

The EZ BEAM structure is installed starting with<br />

the perimeter components, followed by the main<br />

beams and finally the cross members. Blocking <strong>of</strong><br />

the appropriate width is screwed to the ceiling<br />

sequentially, that is, for the perimeter components<br />

first, followed by application <strong>of</strong> the perimeter<br />

beams, blocking for the main runners next,<br />

followed by application <strong>of</strong> the runners themselves,<br />

and finally, blocking for the cross members<br />

followed by the application <strong>of</strong> the cross members<br />

themselves. Kiln-dried blocking material or<br />

plywood (not dimensional lumber) is recommended<br />

to minimize shrinkage, and the resultant gaps<br />

between beam members.<br />

26<br />

Attach blocking Fasten side to blocking,<br />

clamp bottom in place and<br />

nail<br />

Step one <strong>of</strong> the installation is to attach beam side to<br />

blocking. The nails securing the side to the blocking<br />

will be covered later with bed moulding. Fit the<br />

bottom component into the side member groove<br />

and clamp into position. Nail side member to beam<br />

bottom through nailing groove.<br />

Repeat procedure to attach opposing side member.<br />

Continue until all beam sides and bottoms have<br />

been positioned and nailed. Install bed moulding<br />

around the top inside corner <strong>of</strong> the square formed<br />

by the installed beams.<br />

A suggested method <strong>of</strong> bed moulding installation is<br />

to install opposite sides, trimming the ends at 90<br />

degrees. Then, after measuring the span length, trim<br />

the pieces with a 45 degree miter, cope the miter cut<br />

and install between the other two mouldings. An<br />

alternative method is to simply cut a 45 degree<br />

miter corner on all pieces.<br />

The finished result is a beautiful beamed ceiling<br />

with nice detailing without an excessive amount <strong>of</strong><br />

labor. The design <strong>of</strong> the system speeds installation as<br />

well as adding to the cleanness <strong>of</strong> the look due to<br />

the inconspicuous placement <strong>of</strong> the fasteners.<br />

Clamp opposing side in place<br />

and fasten with nail gun


Historical reproductions, high-end residential,<br />

commercial or any project with architect<br />

involvement may call for mouldings not found in<br />

our standard product line. <strong>Ferche</strong> has developed its<br />

facility to efficiently handle just these types <strong>of</strong><br />

moulding orders also. Both solid mouldings as well<br />

as veneered products can be engineered to meet your<br />

Here is an example <strong>of</strong> a large casing requested by one <strong>of</strong> our<br />

customers. We received a rough sketch <strong>of</strong> the pr<strong>of</strong>ile shape,<br />

measuring 2 1/4" thick by 4" wide. They requested it in red oak<br />

and cherry. In other cases, an actual sample <strong>of</strong> the moulding to<br />

be duplicated can be sent. We will match it exactly.<br />

With the approval given, a template was cut to the exact<br />

shape <strong>of</strong> the drawing.<br />

11 1/2" widths. Wider moulding pr<strong>of</strong>iles can be<br />

designed in segments. Veneered products can be<br />

configured with a broad range <strong>of</strong> design parameters.<br />

New products can be designed and manufactured.<br />

Existing mouldings can be duplicated which match<br />

exactly. When you need custom, think <strong>Ferche</strong>!<br />

Our Grinding Room staff made a detailed CAD<br />

What wood species do you like? There are many<br />

things to take into consideration—cost, color, grain,<br />

hardness and others. If you will be using little or no<br />

stain in the finishing process, the characteristic color<br />

<strong>of</strong> the species is important. Some people think there<br />

is nothing more beautiful than clear-coated cherry<br />

when it is allowed to age into a dark, rich, reddishbrown.<br />

Others appreciate the natural beauty <strong>of</strong><br />

lighter woods like hard maple or oak with a clear<br />

finish. If darker stains are to your liking, there is the<br />

opportunity to use a less costly type <strong>of</strong> wood and<br />

still achieve a beautiful look. Poplar, a lower priced<br />

hardwood, is used as a substitute for alder or cherry<br />

with good results and significant savings when<br />

stained and finished properly.<br />

Stained red oak from Decorator Series—“Mullen”<br />

Types <strong>of</strong> Wood<br />

The hardwoods most commonly run by <strong>Ferche</strong><br />

<strong>Millwork</strong> include red oak, poplar, hard maple, s<strong>of</strong>t<br />

maple, birch and cherry. Any hardwood can be<br />

obtained and processed by <strong>Ferche</strong>. During a one<br />

year time period, we will process over 40 different<br />

varieties.<br />

There are obvious differences between wood species,<br />

especially when it comes to color, graining and<br />

pricing. One thing that is common among all wood<br />

species is the visual variety within the same species.<br />

There will be differences in color, hue, graining,<br />

density, mineral streaks, the amount <strong>of</strong> sapwood<br />

versus heartwood, internal stresses and on and on.<br />

That’s the nature <strong>of</strong> a product which grows under a<br />

variety <strong>of</strong> conditions over several decades in<br />

different geographical locations, and, what gives<br />

wood its beauty and character.<br />

Types <strong>of</strong> Wood<br />

There are also special characteristics among certain<br />

species to make note <strong>of</strong>...<br />

Red Oak<br />

<strong>Ferche</strong> obtains red oak from sawmills near its<br />

concentration yard in Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee, in<br />

the heart <strong>of</strong> the Appalachian Lumber region. This<br />

area produces trees which reach the best<br />

combination <strong>of</strong> good length structure and good<br />

color. Red oak coming from Southern Lumber<br />

regions (not used by <strong>Ferche</strong>) will have a much<br />

broader color range, with more gray and pinks,<br />

which puts it outside the range <strong>of</strong> what is the<br />

preferred wheat color. The red oak that we process<br />

has a good length and width structure along with<br />

good color.<br />

Hard and S<strong>of</strong>t Maple<br />

We sell both hard maple and s<strong>of</strong>t maple. Our hard maple<br />

will have a consistent white/cream color that people<br />

generally associate with maple. Longer lengths (up to 16')<br />

are available in small quantities. S<strong>of</strong>t maple will be less<br />

expensive, but has characteristics that many people don’t<br />

like. It will have more color variation than our hard<br />

maple, including more <strong>of</strong> a gray color tone. If clearcoated<br />

or stained, this will be noticeable, especially when<br />

compared to a maple door which will be made with hard<br />

maple veneers and solid stock. S<strong>of</strong>t maple lengths are not<br />

as good as hard maple, with a heavy concentration in the<br />

8' to 12' range. When maple is stained, both hard and<br />

s<strong>of</strong>t, it tends to get “blotchy” in areas which absorb stain<br />

more readily. This effect is much more noticeable in s<strong>of</strong>t<br />

maple than in hard. The mouldings can be treated with a<br />

conditioner prior to staining to minimize this effect. S<strong>of</strong>t<br />

maple also has more short, squiggly, dark lines, which are<br />

the result <strong>of</strong> worm tracking. This is considered by some<br />

to be “character” and by others to be a defect. Most<br />

people will be more satisfied with the quality and look <strong>of</strong><br />

hard maple.<br />

Types <strong>of</strong> Wood<br />

Poplar<br />

Poplar is the hardwood we recommend as a paintable<br />

product. It is one <strong>of</strong> the least expensive hardwoods that<br />

we produce. Poplar has a greenish hue with naturally<br />

occurring purple and black streaks. <strong>Ferche</strong> buys a select<br />

grade without the dark streaks which works well as a<br />

stainable product. Poplar has a good length structure and<br />

can be mixed successfully with other species, like alder,<br />

which comes only in shorter lengths. There will need to<br />

be some “tweaking” with stains to get the two species to<br />

color match, but the grain, texture and pore structure<br />

between these two species allows for a good match.<br />

Birch<br />

Birch, like maple, will tend toward blotchiness when<br />

stained. Birch lumber runs short. <strong>Mouldings</strong> will be<br />

available up to 12' long, heavy in the 8' to 10' range.<br />

There is a limited supply <strong>of</strong> lumber wider than 6".<br />

Cherry<br />

Alder (Clear and Knotty)<br />

Types <strong>of</strong> Wood<br />

Alder has a short length structure and will be available up<br />

to 10' long and widths up to 6". Clear alder may have<br />

limited availability and may contain tight pin knots<br />

without being considered defective. Knotty alder can<br />

have broken knots with holes up to the size <strong>of</strong> a dime.<br />

Cherry<br />

The red coloration associated with cherry comes from<br />

that part <strong>of</strong> the tree called the heartwood (center part <strong>of</strong><br />

the log). The lighter part <strong>of</strong> the log, found on the outer<br />

perimeter <strong>of</strong> the tree, is called sapwood. The lumber we<br />

purchase for mouldings is the highest grade, but still<br />

contains some <strong>of</strong> the lighter sapwood. Therefore, the<br />

mouldings we sell will have a small amount <strong>of</strong> light color<br />

streaking. Small, dark streaks (pitch and gum pockets) are<br />

also common characteristics. Cherry may have some<br />

longer lengths up to 14', but only in small quantities.<br />

Types <strong>of</strong> Wood<br />

Black Walnut<br />

Walnut’s dark color is characteristic <strong>of</strong> its<br />

heartwood. Like cherry, it may have some light<br />

streaking. Walnut is usually limited to lengths up to<br />

12' and widths up to 6". Due to a somewhat<br />

limited supply, the NHLA Grading Rules are less<br />

stringent when applied to walnut.<br />

African Mahogany<br />

African mahogany is the variety <strong>Ferche</strong> generally<br />

uses in its products because it is more abundant<br />

than other varieties. It is harvested using<br />

environmentally sound practices. The length and<br />

width structure is good. The dark color <strong>of</strong><br />

mahogany is <strong>of</strong>ten associated with the “old money”<br />

look.<br />

Hickory<br />

Hickory is <strong>of</strong>ten associated with a rustic decorating<br />

style. The light and dark pattern in the lumber is<br />

more informal. Hickory is a heavy wood and even<br />

more durable than red oak.<br />

R<br />

eputations have to be earned, no one can hand you<br />

one. Since its beginning in 1958, <strong>Ferche</strong> <strong>Millwork</strong>,<br />

Inc. has grown to be nationally recognized for its<br />

quality and service and has since set the standard for<br />

the hardwood moulding industry. Quality doesn’t happen by<br />

accident. It is the goal <strong>of</strong> many, achieved by some, but<br />

maintained by few. To maintain this high level <strong>of</strong> quality, you<br />

need to control the product through all phases <strong>of</strong> production. To<br />

do this, we start by buying only the finest quality hardwoods<br />

available from a growing number <strong>of</strong> trusted, reliable suppliers<br />

that have grown with us over the years.<br />

This lumber is delivered to <strong>Ferche</strong> <strong>Millwork</strong>’s concentration yard<br />

in Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee, where each board is examined and<br />

graded by us. Only the best lumber will<br />

later be shipped to our manufacturing<br />

facility in Rice, Minnesota. Once<br />

graded, the lumber will be properly<br />

“stickered” (separated with wooden<br />

strips) and allowed to air dry to the<br />

correct moisture content.<br />

This air dried lumber will then be<br />

shipped and unloaded at our Minnesota<br />

facility where, under precisely controlled<br />

conditions, with the latest technology,<br />

we carefully dry the lumber in our kilns.<br />

This gives our lumber the highest degree<br />

<strong>of</strong> stability and machinability to<br />

maintain the finest finish possible on<br />

our mouldings.<br />

After drying, the lumber is processed for<br />

optimum yield, lengths and quality. We<br />

employ state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art technology with<br />

automated high speed equipment that<br />

holds to precise tolerances. With this<br />

equipment, we can supply our<br />

customers with the highest quality<br />

mouldings available.<br />

Company History<br />

Company History<br />

<strong>Ferche</strong> <strong>Millwork</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers over 250 standard<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>iles, solid, veneered and fingerjointed,<br />

many <strong>of</strong> which are in stock for immediate<br />

delivery. For that special project, we also<br />

produce custom pr<strong>of</strong>iles in many species, all<br />

with minimum leadtimes.<br />

<strong>Ferche</strong> mouldings are known for their<br />

consistency in pr<strong>of</strong>iles; manufactured by knives<br />

sharpened in-house to our own templates,<br />

under the watchful eyes <strong>of</strong> our well-trained,<br />

skillful employees.<br />

Conservation <strong>of</strong> our natural resources is part <strong>of</strong><br />

our daily operations. The short lumber blanks<br />

are utilized by fingerjointing them into useable<br />

products. We burn wood shavings to fire our<br />

boilers, which provide steam for our kilns and<br />

heat for our plant. A portion <strong>of</strong> our sawdust is<br />

used by local farmers for animal bedding.<br />

Nothing is wasted in the manufacture <strong>of</strong> our<br />

products.<br />

We made a commitment in 1958 that we’re<br />

here for the long haul. We have a great concern<br />

for the well-being <strong>of</strong> our customers, employees<br />

and our natural resources.<br />

We are committed to maintaining a<br />

safe, productive and healthy<br />

working environment for our<br />

employees.<br />

The goal we set is to provide our<br />

customers with a reliable source <strong>of</strong><br />

the highest quality products and<br />

services possible. We <strong>of</strong>fer excellent<br />

value in a hassle-free relationship.<br />
