The raised panel is captured in a groove made in the inside edge of the framemembers. Panels are made slightly smaller than the available space within theframe to provide room for movement. Wood will expand and contract across thegrain, and a wide panel made of solid wood could change width by up to 6mm,warping the door frame.
By allowing the wood panel to float, it can expand and contract withoutdamaging the door. A typical panel would be cut to allow 5 mm between itself andthe bottom of the groove in the frame.
A raised panel has a profile cut into its edge so that the panel surface isflush with or proud of the frame. Some popular profiles are the ogee, chamfer,and scoop or cove.
