subject: French Door Refrigerators: Individual Brilliance [print this page] Nothing is quite as fashionable as the French door refrigerator right now. These appliances combine the design of standard refrigerators with a bit of a modern twist. Surely such functionality and versatility is a must in any home?
Like side by side refrigerators, the French door model features a dual door design. A major difference in design is the added lower compartment designed as a useful pullout freezer drawer. Now imagine storing both fresh and frozen produce in the same lower section. With slender doors that extend unusually high above floor level this stylish design allows for those tighter spots. In general kitchens can be an awkward design but with a French door model almost any size will do!
The benefit of a dual door design on a French door model is much the same as on a side by side refrigerator. Not to mention features like the in-door ice and water dispenser. But have you ever wondered what it would be like with a TV installed? With the added benefits of such features comes the reduced amount of storage space.
Another area to look into is the capacity of the refrigerator. French door models have been noted for their large width. Large items can now take advantage of the ample space provided by the use of the full width of both the freezer and refrigerator sections. Although much of the interior space is used to its maximum there is a general decrease of space required as a whole. Much space is saved due to the insert of the bottom freezer instead of full length refrigerator doors. Also, its possible to have the French door model installed as a counter depth refrigerator. With the added 5 to 6 inches added a lot more workspace has been created, an advantage to any kitchen.
This practical yet functional French door refrigerator is occasionally referred to as a bottom freezer mount refrigerator or a double door. They allow for increased workspace outside as well as maximized storage space inside. For most nothing fits more beautifully then this uniquely designed refrigerator.
