Consumer Information
If you have looked at a renovated kitchen and wondered where the appliances, such as the refrigerator and dishwasher, were, you have just experienced paneled appliances. The beauty of these custom panels is that they cover the appliances and allow them to blend in seamlessly with the rest of the cabinetry. Even though they have often been seen as a luxury item, an increasing number of homeowners are selecting this option when building or redoing their kitchen due to its benefits to their space. We know that the kitchen is seen as the heart of the home, where we enjoy gathering together as we cook or just graze, which makes the design choices important. Paneled appliances add much to the overall look and feel of the kitchen, often creating a harmonious look in the home, especially when it comes to an open-concept layout. Let’s discuss why they may be an excellent option for your upcoming renovation.
What are Paneled Appliances?
A paneled appliance has a cabinet panel installed over the appliance, which gives the appearance that it is also a cabinet. This option allows it to become part of the cabinet, matching the overall design instead of standing alone. These cabinet fronts can also be fitted with hardware that matches the other cabinets, helping them to blend further into the kitchen. The typical hardware choice is a longer pull that provides a good grip for you and is strong enough to manage the day-to-day usage that will be required from it. Multiple companies now offer a larger selection of sizes for a specific hardware style, so you will have a wider range of options. Since we are a custom cabinetry company, we can create a panel for any of them, even though there are several different appliance models out there. We do recommend that you confirm with the manufacturer about the appliance’s ability to be paneled, as some may not be designed for it.
