Integrated Fridge Freezers - Built-In Cooling That Disappears Into Your Kitchen
Integrated fridge freezers are built-in refrigeration units that sit behind a matching cabinet door, so your appliance blends seamlessly into your kitchen units for a sleek, handleless finish. At Atlantic Electrics, our range of the best integrated fridge freezers pairs that clutter-free look with genuine cooling power - combining frost-free technology, flexible storage and energy-efficient performance from trusted brands. Whether you're fitting a brand-new kitchen or upgrading an existing one, there's a built-in fridge freezer here to suit your space, your layout and your lifestyle.
An integrated fridge freezer is a refrigeration appliance designed to be fully built into your kitchen cabinetry. A furniture door is fixed to the front of the unit, hiding it completely so it lines up with the rest of your cupboards. This gives kitchens a streamlined, uniform appearance while still offering full-size fridge and freezer storage.
Why Choose an Integrated Fridge Freezer?
Integrated models are ideal if you want a seamless, designer kitchen where appliances stay hidden. Because the unit tucks behind a cabinet door, it maintains the visual flow of your units and avoids the "appliance on show" look of a freestanding model.
Key benefits include:
- A clean, built-in finish – the appliance disappears into your cabinetry for a premium, fitted-kitchen aesthetic.
- Space efficiency – designed to fit standard kitchen housing units, making the most of a fitted layout.
- Quiet operation – cabinet housing helps dampen running noise, ideal for open-plan kitchens.
- Consistent styling – no clashing colours or finishes interrupting your kitchen design.
If you'd prefer a model that stands on its own and can move with you, browse our freestanding fridge freezers instead. Not sure which suits you? Our wider fridge freezers collection covers both.
Integrated vs Freestanding Fridge Freezers – Which Is Right for You?
The main difference is installation and appearance. An integrated fridge freezer is fixed into a housing unit and concealed behind a door panel, while a freestanding fridge freezer sits out in the open and can be positioned anywhere with a plug and clearance.
Choose integrated if you want a fully fitted, seamless kitchen and plan to keep the layout long-term. Choose freestanding if you value flexibility, easier installation, or you're in a rental property. Integrated units typically cost a little more and need precise cabinet dimensions, so it's worth measuring your housing aperture before you buy.
Understanding Split Ratios – 50/50, 60/40 and 70/30
The "split" describes how the internal space is divided between fridge and freezer.
50/50 split
An even divide between fridge and freezer. Best for households that batch-cook, freeze a lot, or shop in bulk.
60/40 and 70/30 splits
More fridge than freezer. Ideal if you buy plenty of fresh food, salads and drinks and only need moderate freezer capacity. A 70/30 split gives the largest fridge section.
If you freeze often, lean towards 50/50; if you shop fresh, a 70/30 or 60/40 layout usually works better.
What Size Integrated Fridge Freezer Do I Need?
Most integrated fridge freezers are designed to fit a standard 1770mm-tall housing unit, roughly 540–560mm wide, so they slot into typical UK kitchen cabinetry. Before ordering, measure the height, width and depth of your housing aperture and check the required door-panel weight.
As a rough guide, a couple or small household is well served by a 250–280 litre total capacity, while a family of four or more benefits from 280 litres or more. Always check the individual product specification for exact fridge and freezer litre capacities.
