- French door refrigerators
- Side-by-side refrigerators

- High-End Features: Built-in refrigerators come loaded with advanced features designed to make your life easier. These appliances offer cutting-edge convenience, with features like humidity-controlled drawers that keep your food fresher for longer and smart technology that allows you to control your fridge directly from your phone.
- Increased Home Value: A built-in refrigerator can boost your home’s resale value. Buyers are often willing to pay more for a kitchen equipped with high-end, built-in appliances, making it a smart investment for the future.
- Plenty of Storage Space: One of the standout features of built-in refrigerators is their generous storage capacity, particularly in the freezer.
