The site is committed to providing a unique experience for architects and designers and includes an interactive gallery, quartersawn hardwood industry insights, company history and educational resources. The gallery features images of designs and installations from prominent architects and designers who used Frank Miller hardwoods for their projects. The section of the site dedicated to industry insights includes links to Frank Miller's social media outlets and blogs from the company's quartersawn experts.
"We're excited to give the design community as well as our customers a new look at our company," said Dan Hackett, president and CEO of Frank Miller.

In addition, architects looking to continue their education can schedule an American Institute of Architects CES Health Safety and Welfare/Sustainable Design session on Quartersawn Hardwoods in their offices.
"Our brand was elevated from the broader market of 'lumber' to a focused emphasis on quartersawn hardwood -- our true area of expertise," Hackett said. "We believe the new website better reflects our position as one of the world's largest producers of quartersawn hardwoods, while also highlighting our growth into a thriving, global enterprise."
