What is a Raised Panel?

A raised panel is a center portion of a cabinet door that is slightly raised. Raised panels come in a variety of designs and styles.

A raised panel door is a cabinet door with a center panel that is a little higher than the surrounding wood. Raised panel cabinet doors are very popular because they can be used in both traditional and modern kitchen designs. The door is built by placing the panel in grooves that have been cut into the frame of the door or by attaching the panel using an adhesive. Raised panel doors may have arches or square edges. They may also feature glass or metal inserts to add unique touches to the cabinet unit. Raised panel doors can be built from a variety of woods and finishes, which allows them to be easily incorporated into any kitchen. They can also be incorporated into units that are designed to conceal appliances.
