What is an applied moulding door?
An applied moulding cabinet door starts out as a standard five-piece flat or raised panel door, then has thin strips of decorative wood moulding attached to the face or perimeter of the panel. Instead of carving a profile from a single piece of solid stock, the moulding is added on as trim — which lets us build up a wider, more elaborate, and more traditional profile than a single carved panel typically allows.
It's a technique borrowed straight from furniture and fine millwork, and it reads as a formal, custom detail — a step up in visual weight from a plain flat or raised panel door, without changing the underlying door construction.
Every applied moulding door we install is made to order for your kitchen, in your choice of panel base, profile, and finish.
