Refrigeration

Learn more about refrigeration

Refrigeration for kitchen projects breaks down into a handful of formats, each suited to a different layout and storage need. Integrated units sit behind a door for a clean fitted finish, while freestanding models are quicker to swap and reposition. Tall fridge freezers give you extra chilled and frozen storage in one footprint, larder fridges maximise chilled space where little or no freezing is needed, and under counter units suit compact runs.

The key decisions are usually format, capacity and how the unit fits the space. Get those right against the kitchen plan and you avoid the classic problems: a niche that's too tight, a door that fouls a run, or a spec that doesn't match the way the space will actually be used.

Typical uses

• Integrated fridge freezer units for a clean fitted kitchen finish.

• Tall fridge freezer models where extra chilled and frozen storage is needed.

• Larder fridge options for projects that need more chilled capacity than frozen storage.

• Under counter fridge units for compact kitchen layouts or smaller appliance runs.

• American style fridge freezer options where a larger statement appliance is specified.

• Fridge with freezer drawers and freezer drawers for layouts that need easier access to frozen items.

How to choose the right refrigeration unit

• Check the available aperture, door swing, ventilation space and connection points before you specify a unit.

• Match the capacity to the likely use, whether that's a standard kitchen fit or a larger catering style requirement.

• Decide between integrated and freestanding formats based on the kitchen design and the finished look required.

• Consider an energy efficient fridge freezer and no frost options where lower running costs and reduced maintenance are priorities.

• Choose fridge freezer or larder fridge layouts based on how much chilled versus frozen storage the project needs.

• Check whether fridge drawers, freezer drawers or a fridge with freezer drawers will make loading and access easier in the final space.

Before you order

• Measure the appliance niche carefully, including height, width and depth, plus any allowance needed for doors and ventilation.

• Check the specification against the kitchen plan and any surrounding units, especially for integrated products.

• Confirm the power supply position and access for fitting, delivery and final connection.

• Make sure the chosen product suits the intended use, whether that's a domestic kitchen style installation or a commercial building requirement.

• Review product specifications, compatibility and dimensions before you order.
