Delta Millworks is a leading manufacturer of wood cladding, flooring, and decking products. We cater to architects, designers, and builders seeking beautiful and sustainable wood products with exceptional performance. Delta was the first company in North America to produce shou-sugi-ban – a charred wood finishing technique with origins in Japan – on a large commercial scale and is growing rapidly.
