style summary
- Integrated refrigerators come in a myriad of styles, shapes and sizes.
- Designed to have custom cabinet or stainless steel panels installed on their face fronts, integrated units blend seamlessly into any kitchen design.
- Lining up perfectly with cabinetry and having no visible vents or hinges means that integrated refrigerators create a clean, streamlined look. Some models even offer handle-free opening.
- That seamless styling provides the kitchen, wet bar, wine room or any other space in need of luxury refrigeration with a chic, custom feel.
- Never contained within a shiny box, built-in units provide the freedom to mix and match styles and create the perfect refrigeration combination.
- Built-in refrigerators come in a variety of sizes and layouts, including all-refrigerator, all-freezer, bottom freezer, and French-door models.
- A built-in refrigerator is either finished on the front or ready to accept custom cabinet panels.
- Designed to fit into a cabinet depth of 24 to 27 inches, these units can install flush or proud, depending on the kitchen cabinets.
How do they benefit the homeowner? Columns can be mixed and matched based on design, space and capacity needs for fresh and frozen foods as well as wine.
Why are columns so popular with wine lovers? Columns allow wine lovers to proudly display their bottles in a custom arrangement.
Why are columns recommended for small spaces? Delivering a large refrigerator/freezer to a small space can be challenging. Because columns ship separately and install either together or apart—depending on your design—they provide an elegant and efficient solution.
FEATURES FORUM
Separate compressors and evaporators for the refrigerator and freezer keep internal temperatures and humidity constant.
These ensure the correct temperature and humidity for optimum food storage and crisper produce.
Gliding soft-close, full-extension crisper bins, sturdy door bins and adjustable shelves offer ease and flexibility.
Stainless steel is incredibly durable, maintains uniform temperatures, insulates noise and is bacteria resistant.
Air purification filters remove the ethylene gas released by expiring foods to keep ingredients fresher and longer lasting.
Smart refrigerators do more than keep food cold, they allow you to stay connected via your smartphone or home automation device.
smart design
Thanks to advanced engineering, today’s luxury refrigerators and freezers offer a myriad functions such as dual refrigeration, humidity and climate control and air filtration systems that reduce food waste by creating ideal conditions for preserving the shelf-life and flavors of specific foods. There are also water filtration systems that provide pure drinking water and crystal clear ice, as well as Energy Star-rated models that go above and beyond federally mandated standards to help save energy and money.
Meanwhile, the latest smart technology has turned the family fridge into a high-tech helper and information hub. Able to communicate with our phones, tablets and home automation devices, refrigerators equipped with smart systems allows us to instantly control temperature, monitor performance and diagnostics, keep an eye on the freshness and integrity of our food, and audit our inventory so that we can plan meals and order what we want and need, all with the touch of a button.
THE GREEN LIGHT
tech talk
These smart assets include controls that make it possible to produce more ice; remotely adjust the temperature in your refrigerator and freezer; take advantage of vacation mode’s substantial energy savings; respond to push notification warnings when a door is left open; and utilize remote diagnostics features that identify when a filter needs to be changed or of a potential service issue.
These high-tech enhancements include features that allow you to sync your calendar with your smart fridge; have a remote look inside when planning menus, take inventory or compile grocery lists. And for remodelers with multiple residences, smart refrigerators offer true peace of mind—especially for wine collectors seeking long-term storage of their favorite vintages.
To earn the ENERGY STAR® title, a refrigerator or freezer must use a minimum of 10-percent less energy than the federally-mandated standards. To achieve this, ENERGY STAR®-certified units contain high-efficiency compressors that create less heat and are more energy efficient, enhanced insulation that retains cold and preserves food, tightly sealed gaskets that keep cold air in and warm air out, and temperature and defrost mechanisms that ensure maximum operating performance.

the wine list
- Most wine refrigerators have one or two temperature zones, while taller wine columns can have up to three. Finding a unit with the right number of zones is the key to keeping your reds, whites, roses and sparkling wines at their optimal temperature.
- Because sunlight can cause wine to age prematurely, it is best to purchase a wine refrigerator with UV-protected glass.
- Storing wine at a consistent temperature is another way to stop premature aging, so look for models with reliable temperature controls.
- Wine refrigerators with humidity controls keep corks from drying out, which helps preserve the flavor and composition of wines.
- Vibration can negatively affect the tannins in wine, so consider models that offer the greatest stability.
