Architectural Applications
Tolutions Supply partners with local manufacturing specialists at GrainCraft Systems to supply advanced architectural wood products for residential, commercial, and custom construction applications. Through this collaboration, we provide precision-crafted structural and decorative wood components designed to meet the demands of architects, builders, designers, and high-end fabrication projects throughout the Midwest and beyond.
Tolutions Supply and GrainCraft Systems offer a range of advanced wood processing capabilities including traditional Shou Sugi Ban charred wood finishing, custom millwork, precision grooving compatible with Grad hidden fastening and rail systems, and dedicated machining for architectural applications. Our production capabilities also include industrial wire brushing for enhanced wood grain texture, custom surface profiling, pre-finishing services, and premium oil finishes engineered to elevate both the appearance and long-term performance of natural wood products in exterior and interior environments.
GrainCraft Systems operates a large-format industrial press capable of producing custom beams. Structural and architectural members including 4x4, 6x6, and custom cross-sections can be manufactured using Kebony®, Accoya®, or other specified wood species to meet project-specific structural and design requirements.
Serving Chicagoland
Laminated Beams
GrainCraft Systems operates a large-format industrial press capable of producing custom beams up to 22 feet in length. We manufacture structural and architectural members including 4x4, 6x6, and custom cross-sections using Kebony®, Accoya®, or other specified wood species.
Shou Sugi Ban (Yakisugi)
Traditional charring process adapted for modern architectural use. We control burn depth, brushing, and sealing to achieve consistent color, texture, and durability without compromising modified wood performance. Suitable for exterior cladding and accent applications. Compatible with Kebony® and Accoya®.
Millwork & Grooving
We produce custom grooves and profiles for modern rainscreen and attachment systems, including profiles compatible with Grad Mini Rail. Dedicated machinery allows repeatable tolerances across long production runs and multiple wood species and manufacturers. We maintain long-length consistency across both modified and natural wood species.
Wire Brushed & Finishes
Mechanical wire brushing enhances grain and definition while creating a tactile surface ideal for modern facades and applications. Additionally we apply penetrating oil finishes prior to installation or shipment, improving consistency, reducing jobsite labor and protecting material from day one. Compatible with CUTEK systems.
