What are Column Refrigerators and Freezers?

Column refrigerators are full-sized, single-purpose refrigerators and freezers that can be built into your cabinetry for a finished, seamless look that is a must for luxury and high-end kitchens.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN COLUMN AND BUILT-IN REFRIGERATORS?

Column refrigerators provide a seamless, integrated look while giving you unique design options to make your space your own. Each column provides a single purpose, refrigeration or freezing, and has different customization options. Built-in refrigerators on the other hand are a single unit that provide both refrigeration and freezing functions.

More Versatility

When a column refrigerator and freezer set is installed together, they look like a built-in refrigerator. But, you can pair any size refrigerator with any size freezer—to customize your preservation space to your exact lifestyle.

Visit the farmer’s market on a weekly basis, but don’t really use your freezer? Choose a 36-inch column refrigerator and pair it with an 18-inch freezer. Even install your column refrigerator and freezer set separately—in separate rooms like a butler’s pantry—so your kitchen works and looks exactly the way you want.

Expanded Style Options

Like columns, built-in refrigeration comes ready to pair with custom cabinetry, but JennAir column refrigerator and freezer sets have a wider breadth of style options to choose from. These panel-ready column refrigerators can be paired with panels that match your custom cabinetry for a fully-integrated look, or with JennAir® stainless steel RISE™ or NOIR™ Design Expression panels. Plus, you can customize your toe kick, handles and more.

Or, up the ante by choosing JennAir Brand Italian leather Cuts Panels in four distinct designs: Croc, Caviar, Carbon or Cognac.

Each panel option, from your own custom panels to stainless steel or leather can be paired with your choice of handle. Build your custom column refrigerator and freezer set with our Column Configurator.
