Built-In Refrigerators

Built-in refrigerators come in three main varieties, counter depth, custom, and all-refrigerator. Counter depth and custom refrigerators can be side-by-side, single door bottom freezer, and French door bottom freezer. All of the different varieties of refrigerators can really make an ordinary kitchen very special. Not only will a built-in refrigerator give your kitchen a sleek look, it can save space too.

Built-in refrigerators are specifically designed to effortlessly blend with your kitchen cabinets and have custom refrigerators that suit your needs and style. Unlike a standard refrigerator, built-ins integrate with kitchen décor, have unfinished sides and top, and can have custom panels installed to make the unit look like it is part of the cabinetry. Another difference between standard and built-in refrigerators is that built-in models are generally wider but have less depth.

To determine which built-in refrigerator configuration is best for your kitchen; decide if it’s more important to have a unit with higher energy efficiency, more refrigerator space, or more freezer space. Bottom freezer refrigerators are more energy efficient than side-by-side refrigerators. Cabinet depth refrigerators have less space than a side-by-side or bottom freezer refrigerator. Typically, it’s easier to find things in a side-by-side refrigerator than a bottom freezer refrigerator.
