Our fridge is just under 900cm but we’re having a recess of 1200cm (if we were to change the fridge further down the track). My thoughts are that this is way too big? We're due for our prestart meeting next week! Exciting times Re: What size fridge recess? 2Jan 10, 2016 11:06 am I have allowed 1250x800 deep and make sure your water point and power are 2100 high. That way the fridge can go all the way back Re: What size fridge recess? 3Jan 10, 2016 11:10 am Our recess is 1200 which I think is big enough for most large fridge/freezers. If you didn't have a big fridge just use the space for storage. Did you mean change fridge to s smaller one? Re: What size fridge recess? 4Jan 10, 2016 12:14 pm Thanks everyone, we will leave it at 1200. Someone mentioned putting a slimline wine rack down the side, which is a great idea I've noted the 800 depth too. StarGirlStar - Sorry I meant that I thought 1200 was too big, but if we made it smaller we would be kicking ourselves if we had to replace the fridge and they had got bigger I will post a new thread of our build - so excited! Re: What size fridge recess? 5Jan 15, 2016 6:22 am We went for 1000x960. A lot of the bugger fridges look to be deep and we didn't want to limit ourselves.

Makes it all easier. Fridge fits better. They may do this - but may not ... Re: What size fridge recess? 7Jan 17, 2016 5:10 pm We went for 1000cm width by 90cm back. The power point and tap is above behind the overhead cupboard. This was as large as I could get for my design before losing to much space other places. I found 90% of fridges didn't go over 980cm so was happy with 1000cm. ~Shellby~ GJ Bridgewater 203 11/3/2016 - Site Work Started 29/9/2016 - Handover 142 Work Days 6 Work Days Over https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80174 Re: What size fridge recess? 8Jan 17, 2016 6:40 pm I went for 1m wide by 900 deep as that fits the large samsung and lg. if you are going side by side then you need wider but not deeper as they are much more shallow. Re: What size fridge recess? 9Jan 18, 2016 10:42 am When working out sizes, bear in mind the requirement for air gap around the fridge, and also the thickness of any plasterboard. So if there's plasterboard on both sides, a 900mm fridge may want a frame opening of at least 960mm Re: What size fridge recess? 10Jan 24, 2016 5:25 pm Don't forget about the depth as it looks terrible when fridges stick out past the walls Re: What size fridge recess? 11Jan 24, 2016 5:40 pm A fridge needs to stick out usually by almost the doors amount other wise they are difficult to open. Unless of course they are the integrated fridges. I had a similar issue with my fridge not too long ago. It wasn't the same model, but the symptoms were pretty much the same: the compressor would start and then stop… 3 7540 Dear Members I have to decide the Facade column size.
