Join us as we explore the world of refrigeration and guide you toward the ideal choice for your home, ensuring the perfect balance of elegance and functionality is achieved whether you choose a standard-depth or counter-depth refrigerator.
Counter-Depth Refrigeration vs. Standard-Depth
At Rustic Kitchen and Bath, we're all about bringing you the best in refrigeration. Two of the most common styles are counter-depth models and standard-depth models. Counter-depth refrigerators and standard-depth refrigerators have their own unique features, with their primary distinction lying in their dimensions and integration within kitchen spaces. It’s important to understand the differences between the two when selecting a refrigerator for your kitchen.
What Is A Counter-Depth Refrigerator?
A counter-depth refrigerator is designed to align with the cabinetry and countertops in your kitchen. Unlike other refrigerators that are clunky, counter-depth is favored for its aesthetic appeal and ability to blend seamlessly with the cabinetry for that sleek appearance. Now, we can't talk about counter-depth refrigeration without mentioning a Rustic Kitchen and Bath best-seller, ZLINE 36 in.
