Cabinet styles / Raised panel
Traditional raised panel cabinets
A raised panel door has a centre panel that sits proud of the frame with a shaped, profiled edge. The contours catch light and cast shadow, giving the depth and formality associated with traditional and transitional kitchens.
Raised panel is what most people picture when they think of a classic American kitchen. In a home with existing millwork and trim detail, it is often the only door that looks native.

What is a raised panel cabinet door?
A door where the centre panel is raised above the surrounding frame and edged with a shaped profile. Compared with a shaker's flat recessed panel, the raised profile creates depth and shadow lines that read as more decorative and more formal.
When should you choose raised panel over shaker?
Choose raised panel when the home already carries traditional detail — crown moulding, panelled doors, decorative trim. A flat shaker can look plain beside that millwork, while a raised panel sits consistently with it.
Which IQ+ collection offers raised panel doors?
The Classic collection in the Premium 2026 line: Aspen Charcoal, Aspen White and Charleston White, the last with a glazed finish that emphasises the profile. All three in the Classic collection are supplied drop-ship.

Frequently asked
Traditional raised panel cabinets — your questions answered
Are raised panel cabinets harder to clean?
The profiled edges hold more dust than a flat door. It is a small ongoing difference, not a significant one.
What does "glazed" mean?
A glaze is a tinted finish worked into the profile detail, deepening the shadow lines. Charleston White uses this.
What does drop-ship mean for these?
The Classic collection is supplied drop-ship, which affects how the order is fulfilled. Our team confirms the arrangement when quoting.
