Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Jun 09, 2018 3:10 pm Hi, Can I please get some advice. In our final plans despite requesting for wider fridge space, they have drawn up 910 mm × 690mm. We want to go for one of the new fridges with double doors, can anyone share what would be a good dimension for the cavity to fit most french door fridges. Also, before you sign final drawings (before construction commences), changing fridge space would that be considered a paid change? Thanks a ton!!

Any suggestions, how many mm can a fridge pop out of the cavity and not look odd. The one I am thinking is 912 mm width x 759 mm depth Re: Fridge Cavity 4Jun 10, 2018 11:08 am How much it can "pop out" is really up to you with what you can live with, the fride we have here is 100mm outside the line of the joinery, I probably wouldn't go any further pass that.

Any suggestions, how many mm can a fridge pop out of the cavity and not look odd. The one I am thinking is 912 mm width x 759 mm depth That 759mmD measurement would be overall depth including door & handle, the doors don't normally sit in recess unless you have an integrated unit. Look at the manufacturers spec sheet or manual to confirm required recess dimensions as you will need to factor in ventilation clearance for side/rear/top of unit. I'll take a guess you looking at one of the LG French Door Fridges, manual says it needs 50mm clearance from any adjacent wall. Going off dimensions below required recess would be 1847mmH x 1012mmW x 660mmD (double check). DIMENSIONS Height 1797mm Width 912mm Depth Without Door 610mm Without Handle 759mm With Door & Handle 759mm Re: Fridge Cavity 8Jun 18, 2018 12:29 pm SamKM Saint Mike Make sure you have it "plumbed" - if it is going to have an ice/water dispenser … Thanks great point, luckily remembered that!! Our mob did a nice little "alcove" area - within the wall - for tap and power point. So it didn't affect putting the fridge in the area provided. Re: Fridge Cavity 9Jun 19, 2018 9:53 am Having the tap behind the fridge will also make the fridge stick out further - consider putting the tap in a cabinet above or next to the fridge. I really dislike having the fridge sticking out so made my cavity 1000mm wide and 800mm deep, with the tap above Re: Fridge Cavity 10Jun 19, 2018 10:38 am brokenstick Having the tap behind the fridge will also make the fridge stick out further - consider putting the tap in a cabinet above or next to the fridge. I really dislike having the fridge sticking out so made my cavity 1000mm wide and 800mm deep, with the tap above Unfortunately could not make the cavity deeper so have to leave at 690mm but managed to get them to move the tap to top, so it will not hinder the fridge Re: Fridge Cavity 11Jun 19, 2018 11:16 am Ha ha, made a mistake here once, gave the kitchen builder the fridge width and he made the cavity exactly that, needless to say we couldn't put our fridge there. Id say future proof the space and make it much wider that the fridge you currently have/want, as you may one day want to buy one of those new fangled "not invented yet" fridges:lol: I am saying that double brick has similar thermal performance due to thermal mass effect.
