97" x 4" Radius MDF L-Molding, 4L34

An MDF Radius L-Molding Built to a 4-Inch Curve

This Lakewood molding is a radius L-molding in MDF, manufactured to a 4-inch radius and supplied in 97-inch lengths for curved cabinet and door applications.

Key Features

• 4-inch radius, the fixed curve this molding is manufactured to.
• MDF construction, a stable substrate that holds a painted finish evenly.
• L-molding cross-section, designed to trim radiused edges and transitions.
• 97-inch supplied length, the unit for estimating a curved run.

Where a Radius L-Molding Is Used

A radius L-molding trims the exposed edge or transition of a curved cabinet element, an appliance garage with a rounded front, a bow-front base run, or any opening where the cabinetry turns a curve rather than a square corner. The L cross-section sits against two planes at once, bridging the face and the edge of the curved substrate. On radiused work, the alternative is scribing straight trim to the curve piece by piece, which is slower and harder to keep consistent. A purpose-made radius molding is manufactured to the arc, so it seats cleanly against a matching curve without forcing or kerfing.

MDF Construction and Finish Preparation

The molding is MDF, which is not solid wood and does not take stain the way wood does. MDF accepts paint evenly across the face and holds a sharp, consistent profile after priming, which makes it a practical choice where the trim will be painted to match surrounding cabinetry. Because it is manufactured to a specific arc, the profile is consistent along the full 97-inch length without the grain variation that can affect how curved solid wood pieces cut and seat.

Specifying the Right Radius

This molding is made to a 4-inch radius. That is the curve it seats against, not a midpoint in a range it can be adjusted to fit. The radius of the cabinet element this trim will cover needs to match before ordering. A 4-inch radius molding pressed onto a 3-inch curve will not seat flat, and the reverse leaves a gap at the heel of the L. Confirm the radius on the substrate first, then order to match.

Common Questions

The Right Curve, Ready to Paint

This Lakewood radius L-molding brings a consistent 4-inch arc to curved cabinetry in a paint-ready MDF profile, without scribing or kerfing straight stock to fit.
