Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 20, 2010 8:37 pm This could be a dumb question, so please bear with me. Our fridge cavity on the plans is 70cm deep. I am looking at purchasing a new fridge with a depth of 75cm, will this be an issue or do fridges usually stick out from the cavity a bit? We currently can't fit our fridge into the cavity at our rental (massive fridge, tiny cavity ) so I don't know what is "normal". Anyone want to have a quick look at their fridge vs. cavity and give an opinion? Thank you!!! Re: Fridge cavity vs fridge size? 2Apr 20, 2010 8:43 pm 60-70cm is usually normal. The doors will stick out infront of the cavity other wise you might have issues opening them fully. You might find the firdge is 75cm depth with Handles and door attached, but the actually fridge part might only be 60cm. Interesting...

We are going with a small boutique builder so all of these things are negotiable (so I feel like I have to think of everything). Thank you! Re: Fridge cavity vs fridge size? 8Apr 21, 2010 10:38 am We made ours 1m deep, the fridge we want is 90cm deep. I can't stand seeing fridges sticking out of the space so wanted to make sure we had enough room (and agree about air circulation helping) Re: Fridge cavity vs fridge size? 9Apr 21, 2010 10:42 am Not a dumb question at all I forgot to check the depth of our fridge space and was a bit upset when it ended up sticking out...BUT if I had it flush with the cupboards I wouldn't be able to open the doors enough to access the veg crisper, so lucky I didn't think of it Hey guys, what’s everyone opinion on James Hardie linea direct fix to frame?
