Veneered raised panel element and method of manufacturing thereof

A veneered panel element comprising:

• a center panel;
• a first stile attached to a first edge of the center panel, major surfaces of the first stile having a veneer finish;
• a second stile attached to a second edge of the center panel, the second edge being opposite the first edge, major surfaces of the second stile having a veneer finish;
• a first rail attached to a third edge of the center panel, the third edge adjacent to the first and second edges, the first rail also being attached to the first stile at a point near the first edge and to the second stile at a point near the second edge, major surfaces of the first rail having a veneer finish;
• a second rail attached to a fourth edge of the center panel, the fourth edge adjacent to the first and second edges and opposite the third edge, the second rail also being attached to the first stile at a point near the first edge and to the second stile at a point near the second edge, major surfaces of the second rail having a veneer finish;
• and
• edge banding disposed over outer edges of the first stile, the first rail, the second stile and the second rail, the edge banding disposed across joints between the stiles and the rails,
• wherein the junction between the outer edge and the major surface of the first stile comprises a first profiled surface,
• wherein the junction between the outer edge and the major surface of the first rail comprises a second profiled surface that is transversely aligned with the first profiled surface of the first stile, and
• wherein edge banding is cut at a non-right angle at a corner of the first stile.

A veneered raised panel element comprising:

• at least two vertically-oriented framing members, each vertically-oriented framing member having a first pattern profile formed on the member along a first of two elongated edges, the first pattern profile having a first groove;
• at let two horizontally-oriented framing members disposed between the at least two vertically-oriented framing members, each horizontally-oriented framing member having a cope at each of two horizontal ends, each cope shaped to fit within the pattern profile of the vertically-oriented framing members to form a frame, each horizontally-oriented framing member also having a second pattern profile with a second groove formed on the member along one of two vertical ends, the second pattern profile designed to transversely align with the first pattern profile of the vertically oriented framing members;
• a center panel disposed within the door frame and secured within the grooves of the vertically-oriented and horizontally oriented framing members;
• and
• a veneer edge banding disposed on outer edges of the framing members;
• wherein each of the at least two vertically-oriented members, the at least two horizontally-oriented members, and the center panel comprise a core substrate wherein the exposed surfaces of the element are covered with at least one veneer layer.

A cabinet having a raised panel door comprising:

• a housing;
• and
• a veneered raised panel door attached to the housing, the raised panel door having at lest two horizontally-oriented framing members disposed between two vertically-oriented framing members to form a door frame, and having a center panel disposed within the door frame, wherein outer edges of the door have edge banding applied to the outer edges and across edge joints formed between adjoining ones of the framing members, and a pattern profile in the at least two vertically-oriented members and the at least two horizontally-oriented members, wherein the pattern profile is covered with a veneer, and
• wherein the veneer covering the pattern profile includes a fleece backing.

A method of manufacturing a raised panel door having at least two vertically-oriented members, at least two horizontally-oriented members, and a center panel, the method comprising:

• providing two vertically-oriented members, each having a pattern along an inner edge, the two vertically-oriented members including an engineered substrate;
• providing two horizontally-oriented members, each having a cope at each of two horizontal ends, the cope designed to fit within the pattern of a corresponding one of the vertically oriented members, the two horizontally-oriented members including an engineered substrate;
• assembling the two vertically-oriented members, the two horizontally-oriented members and a center panel to form the door;
• and
• edge banding the outer edges of the door with a veneer, wherein the edge banding is disposed across joints formed by the cope and pattern intersections.

A method of applying a veneer to a pattern profiled edge of a substrate, the method comprising:

• forming a patterned profile on an edge of the substrate;
• affixing a fleece-backed wood veneer to the edge of the substrate with an adhesive;
• and
• applying pressure to adhere the veneer to the edge of the substrate.

A veneered raised panel door comprising:

• two vertically-oriented framing members;
• two horizontally-oriented framing members disposed between the two vertically-oriented framing members to form a door frame, the door frame having an inner edge with a groove;
• and
• a center panel disposed within the groove of the door frame;
• wherein each exposed edge of the door is layered with an edge banding, the edge banding disposed across any joints between the vertically-oriented and horizontally oriented framing members.

A veneered raised panel door comprising:

• two vertically-oriented framing members;
• two horizontally-oriented framing members disposed between the two vertically-oriented framing members to form a door frame;
• and
• a center panel disposed within the door frame;
• wherein each exposed edge of the door is layered with an edge banding, the edge banding disposed across any joints between the vertically-oriented and horizontally oriented framing members, and
• wherein each of the at least two vertically-oriented members and the at least two horizontally-oriented members comprise a pattern profile on an inside edge, wherein the pattern profile is covered with a veneer, and wherein the veneer covering the pattern profile includes a fleece backing.
