Raised Panel Moulding Catalog

Raised panels are decorative edges milled on the side edge of a wood or MDF (medium-density fiberboard) panel, creating more depth between the frame and panel while providing additional character to a door. These panels serve various applications, including interior/exterior entryway doors, kitchen cabinet doors, walls, and furniture panels. These designs can have arches or be square and glass or other inserts that add distinctive highlights to a cabinet element or a door design.

After the milling process, which is generally done on a shaper, the panels are inserted into grooves in the vertical and horizontal members of a stile and rail, cope and stick, or mitered door rail and drawer front type of frame. In this style of door construction, the panel will generally float within the frame so it can easily adjust to seasonal changes in relative humidity without damaging the structure; using space balls in the grooves during assembly is the preferred method of building a raised panel.
