What makes a counter-depth refrigerator unique
We
live in a modern world today thus it follows that the things we use
are modern too. Included in the most modern type of fridges is the
counter depth French door refrigerator. Because it not a well known
type, people usually would be unfamiliar of the basics about this
kind of fridge. Like any other stuff, before you buy this type you
should be aware of its basic details and its benefits. Basically, you
have to differentiate and know the meaning of both a counter depth
appliance and a French door fridge. The benefits of a counter depth
French door refrigerator are obvious when you understand each type of
refrigerator.
When you say counter depth fridge, it is flush together with the cabinets in the kitchen. You see most refrigerators usually stick out of their space in the kitchen by at least a few inches; on the other hand, a counter depth fridge does not. Because it can create a sleek look especially with wood cabinets, the kitchen looks especially sleek. Keeping your fridge from jutting out into the walkway is a great choice especially if you have a small kitchen. The precious space in your kitchen will not be taken by the door area of your refrigerator.
When
your ceiling is low or the space for the fridge is narrow, then you
cannot use this type of fridge. This is because it’s the type which
is taller and wider than the average model. But you must also know
that this is not a negative feature of the fridge since you are
allowed to fit the same amount of food in the fridge as any other
type as you will not be missing any volume when eliminating depth.
Although not really needed, there can be a counter depth fridge
built-in you can get in some cases. It is more costly.
The
features of a French door fridge are two doors which can open to the
sides from the middle of the appliance. Although a bit similar, a
side-by-side fridge and this type is easier to use with two doors.
Also, you can see that the freezer is on the bottom of of the fridge.
This means that the refrigerated area takes up the entire top.
Because it is at eye level, you get to easily access it and you have
more room for refrigerated items. You can easily store large
containers, such as pizza boxes or a sheet cake with the width of
this section. There are baskets you can see with the freezer for
organization. The freezer is in a pullout drawer. If you want more
room in your refrigerator and you do not often use your freezer you
can go for a French door fridge.
Basically, the combination of the two described types of appliances will make up a counter depth French door refrigerator. The benefits from both kinds are rolled into one. Indeed, the benefits are often worth the price although being new in the market, you can expect to pay more for a counter depth French door refrigerator than the standard side-by-side. In addition, there typically less styles available for this style. So don't expect to find a rustic looking fridges that looks right at home next to your stacked firewood and old fashioned stove. Keep it in mind when you remodel your kitchen.
