The best way to truly understand the differences between built-in and integrated refrigeration is to visit a Clarke showroom, see these products and talk to a consultant who can’t point out the nuances between the models. The new integrated models even have a simplified system for achieving perfectly aligned installation of custom cabinet panels - another reason for designers and installers to love Sub-Zero as much as homeowners do. Precise manufacturing tolerances permit installation with a mere 1/8″ reveal between appliance and surrounding cabinets. Use them wherever refrigeration can serve your household, such as in the kitchen island or even in the master suite, home gym, or study.ĭeveloped in consultation with leading members of the kitchen design community, Sub-Zero integrated refrigeration meets the high standards of those exacting professionals (and their clients). Undercounter drawers now come in more widths (24″, 27″, 30″, 36″). No brand comes close to Sub-Zero in offering so many full-size and undercounter options in integrated refrigeration - more than 20 sizes and configurations, with widths from a slender 24″ to a roomy 36″. Due to its growing popularity, Integrated Refrigeration is a big part of this new product introduction.

Sub-Zero is now in the midst of one of the largest product roll-outs in kitchen history. The minimum depth for an Integrated Sub-Zero is just 25″. Most visitors won’t know whether they are looking at a cabinet or an appliance. With an Integrated Sub-Zero, you can literally make your refrigerator or freezer disappear by adding customized panels and handles to blend seamlessly into the surrounding cabinetry. The face of the appliance will blend with your kitchen, but you will still know it is an appliance. With a Built-In Sub-Zero, you can help to disguise your refrigerator or freezer by putting a cabinetry panel on the face of the refrigerator, freezer or combination. The original Sub-Zero Built-in Refrigerator requires a countertop depth of no less than 26-3/16″. And they have been improving on the concept ever since.īut, you may be wondering, what the difference is between an integrated refrigerator or freezer and a built-in overlay model? In fact, that is one of the questions most often asked of the consultants at Clarke, New England’s Official Sub-Zero & Wolf Showroom. Three generations ago, Sub-Zero introduced refrigerators and freezers that were the same depth as standard kitchen counters. With the exception of those homeowners who love the look of an iconic gleaming stainless steel Sub-Zero refrigerator (and there are many), most people have long wished they could make their refrigerator disappear, while still keeping food preservation close at hand.
