How to hide the fridge

The fridge is the biggest household appliance in kitchen. Often happens that exterior of this unit does not correspond to design of kitchen. And still over time on surface there are defects which are difficult for disguising. The easiest way to correct such situation - to build in the fridge cabinet.

Instruction

1. At first by means of tape measure measure fridge dimensions (height, width and depth), write down these parameters on paper.

2. Define locations of radiator. If the fridge new, radiator, most likely, is located from below if model a little outdated, the radiator can be behind. In this case to the measured parameter of depth add a size more of radiator and 2-3 centimeters of stock that at start of the fridge, the vibrating parts did not concern surfaces.

3. Draw the model of future cabinet in which you will hide the fridge, having specified the sizes of all panels. When planning the sizes leave from each party two-centimetric gaps between walls of cabinet and the fridge. In this case the fridge will be easier to be placed in cabinet, to open doors and ventilation of space between cabinet and the fridge will not damage too.

4. When planning consider that the back wall of cabinet either is not established in general or do it lattice for the purpose of the best ventilation. For rigidity of design it is enough to put 3-4 (depending on the size) crossing points.

5. If height of the fridge allows, make over it small mezzanine, but not on all depth – leave about 10 centimeters from back wall free in order that the moisture evaporated by the fridge could come out cabinet freely.

6. Buy all elements, necessary for construction of cabinet in specialized shop (panels will be necessary for creation of walls, door for mezzanine, handles of doors, fixtures for walls, the screw driver and also film under color of panels for pasting of front part of the fridge). Ask that in shop to you cut panels by the size of walls of future cabinet.

7. Collect cabinet (except door), establish it into place and place in it the fridge. After that hang door (or doors if your plan has provided 2-door cabinet). Do not forget to paste over front part of the fridge with self-adhesive film.
