Design Tips for Built-in Appliances
When planning your kitchen, here's what we consider for built-in appliance placement:
Seamless Integration
We make sure your appliances blend in with your cabinets. This means matched panel heights, perfect alignment, and attention to detail where appliances meet cabinetry.
Clever Ventilation
Built-in appliances need proper ventilation. We build in hidden air channels and gaps where needed to keep everything running cool and safe.
Easy Access Planning
We position your appliances where they make sense for how you use your kitchen. Oven at eye level if you bake a lot? Dishwasher near the sink? We think about these things so you don't have to.
Handleless Options
Many of our customers in Mansfield love the clean look of handleless cabinets that extend to their integrated appliances - giving an ultra-smooth appearance.
Placement Strategy
We think carefully about where each appliance goes. Putting a fridge and oven next to each other wastes energy, while keeping the sink, hob and fridge in a triangle makes cooking efficient.
Technical Requirements
There's more to installing built-in appliances than just sliding them into a gap. Here's what we consider:
Power Supply Needs
Different appliances need different electrical connections. Induction hobs and built-in ovens might need their own circuits. We make sure everything's properly connected and safe.
Space and Dimensions
We measure precisely to ensure your appliances fit perfectly. Appliance depths can vary, and we adjust cabinet depths to match.
Ventilation Requirements
Ovens, fridges, and dishwashers all need proper ventilation. We build in the right gaps and channels to keep air flowing and prevent overheating.
Sturdy Cabinets
Built-in appliances can be heavy. We make sure your cabinets are strong enough to support them for years to come.
Our Installation Process
When we install your built-in appliances, we follow a careful process:
1. Pre-installation CheckBefore we start, we double-check all measurements and make sure we have everything needed for a smooth installation. "Michael spent ages making sure everything would fit perfectly before they started any work - I'm so glad they took the time to get it right!" - Leanne from Mansfield |
2. Professional FittingOur team installs your appliances with care and attention to detail. We align everything perfectly and secure it safely. |
3. TestingWe test every appliance before we leave to make sure it's working properly. |
4. User GuidanceWe show you how to use your new appliances and answer any questions you might have |
Value of Built-in Appliances
When customers visit our Mansfield showroom, they often ask about the cost difference between built-in and freestanding appliances. Here's our honest take:
Price Comparison |
Yes, built-in appliances usually cost more upfront than freestanding ones. But they often last longer because they're designed for permanent installation. |
Long-term Value |
Built-in appliances can add value to your home. When selling a property in areas like Mansfield Woodhouse or Sutton in Ashfield, an integrated kitchen often commands a higher price. |
Space Efficiency |
In smaller kitchens, like those in some Forest Town homes, built-in appliances make the most of limited space by using the full height of cabinets. |
Noise Reduction |
Integrated appliances tend to run more quietly as they're surrounded by cabinetry that absorbs sound - great for open-plan living spaces. |
Real Kitchen Project: The Wilsons' Kitchen in Ravenshead
Paul and Sarah Wilson from Ravenshead came to us wanting to upgrade their kitchen with built-in appliances. They had a small space but wanted all the modern conveniences.
The Challenge: Their kitchen was only 3m x 3.5m, and they wanted to fit in a full-size fridge-freezer, dishwasher, oven, microwave, and induction hob without making the space feel cramped.
Our Solution: We designed a kitchen with tall cabinets along one wall to house a full-height integrated fridge-freezer and oven/microwave combo. The dishwasher went under the worktop next to the sink, and we installed a sleek induction hob.
The Result: "We can't believe how much bigger our kitchen feels now! Everything is hidden away behind matching cabinet doors, and there's so much more worktop space." - Sarah Wilson
