97" x 3" Radius MDF L-Molding, 3L34

A Three-Inch Radius And MDF Construction Built for Curved Cabinets

This Lakewood molding is a 97-inch radius L-molding in MDF, made to trim curved cabinet openings and radiused door edges at a fixed 3-inch radius.

Key Features

• 3-inch radius, the curve the molding is manufactured to.
• MDF construction, offering a consistent, paint-ready surface throughout the length.
• L-shaped cross-section that wraps a curved edge with a two-leg profile.
• 97-inch supplied length, the stock unit for estimating the run.

Where Radius Molding Fits the Job

Radius moldings exist because a straight trim profile cannot follow a curved surface without gaps or stress fractures. When a cabinet program includes a bowed door, a curved island face, or a radius corner, the trim at that edge has to match the curve. This molding is manufactured to a 3-inch radius, which means it is the right piece where the cabinetry curves to that dimension. It is not adjustable and it is not intended for a tighter or shallower arc: a radius molding is made to one curve, and matching it to the job is how it installs cleanly.

The L cross-section covers a two-plane transition, sitting flat against one face while the leg drops down the adjacent edge, which is the profile suited to door edges, drawer fronts, and similar applications where the trim needs to address both the face and the return at once.

MDF and the Paint-Ready Surface

MDF machines to a consistently smooth face without the grain variation or knots present in solid wood, which makes it the practical choice when the finish is paint. The surface holds primer and topcoat evenly across the length, and because MDF is homogeneous through its thickness, the machined radius profile holds its edge cleanly. Note that MDF does not take stain the way solid wood does: this is a paint-finish substrate, and the finish plan should reflect that from the start.

Who Reaches for This Piece

Cabinet shops building painted programs with curved components are the natural fit here. A painted kitchen or bath with a radius island corner, a bow-front door run, or a curved range hood surround needs trim that follows the same arc. Designers specifying painted cabinetry with radius details can carry this molding as the edge treatment that resolves the transition without a visible gap or a forced miter. The 97-inch length is the stock unit, so estimating means measuring the total run and ordering in whole lengths accordingly.
