Learn About Column Refrigerators - Benefits & Popular Features
If you’re redesigning or renovating your kitchen, you may want a sleek and stunning built-in refrigerator to create a visual impact. A column refrigerator and/or column freezer, both of which may offer customization options, could be just the thing to enhance the look of your kitchen while also providing the functionality you need.
This article explores the benefits of columns and will help you learn more about the JennAir® column refrigerators and freezers.
What is a Column Refrigerator?
A column unit is a general term that typically applies to a full-size unit that serves a single purpose. It includes full-unit refrigerators, full-unit freezers and full-unit wine cellars, among others.
The Benefits of Column Refrigerators and Column Freezers
Column refrigerators and column freezers have a sleek appearance and several noteworthy benefits.
Where to Install:
The installation of column units is based on the dimensions of a kitchen space. Generally, though, they are considered to be easy to install.
Units can be installed side by side for a more traditional look or you can install them separately in different areas of your kitchen.
PRO TIP: Columns, such as those from JennAir brand, often allow for the side-by-side installation of up to 3 units.
Customizable Size
Compared to standard side-by-side refrigerators, columns are highly customizable. You can choose the size of your refrigerator and your freezer.
PRO TIP: JennAir® Column Refrigerators are available in 24” (61 cm), 30” (76 cm) and 36” (91 cm) and JennAir® Column Freezers are available in 18” (46 cm), 24” (61 cm) and 30” (76 cm).
Flush Installation
Units can be built into existing cabinetry so that they sit flush and provide a seamless look.
Feel and Finish
These units are typically higher-end and can be costly. When shopping for a column, focus on these features:
- Temperature zones
- Gliding crispers
- Sturdy bins
- Internal water dispensers
- Soft close doors and shelves
We recommend deciding early in the shopping process what features are important to you and setting a realistic budget.
Popular Features for Column Refrigerators
Column refrigerators often come with some combination of impressive features.
Ample and Convenient Storage Capacity
Column refrigerators offer a useful amount of storage space. These units come in many width options, providing the flexibility to choose the capacity that best suits your needs.
Location
Columns don’t need to be installed together. You can install your refrigerator in one location and your freezer in another if that makes sense for your space.
Premium Features
Soft-close-doors, shelves, gliding crispers and sturdy bins offer functionality and a ton of appeal. Certain manufacturers may even offer additional features, like a stainless interior, LED lighting and multiple temperature zones.
Connected
Some column refrigerator units are WiFi enabled, allowing them to be connected to a smart device. The benefits may include monitoring and adjusting unit temperatures, tracking the life of a water filter and receiving alerts and notifications.
Seamless Design
Handle-free columns can be opened with ease and contribute to a seamless kitchen design.
Solution for Small Spaces
Galley kitchens and many urban kitchens won’t have the space to fit the 48” (122 cm) side-by-side fridge you want. Don’t worry, though, because column refrigerators offer various width options for smaller kitchens.
