Integrated Fridges

An integrated fridge is built to disappear. Installed behind a cabinetry panel that matches the surrounding joinery, a fully integrated fridge becomes part of the kitchen rather than an appliance sitting in it. Browse Betta’s range of integrated fridges and built-in fridge freezers from Fisher & Paykel and Artusi, across top mount, French door, bar fridge and freezer drawer configurations. Shop online or visit your nearest Betta showroom to see the range in person and get advice on integration before committing to a model.

A fridge that becomes part of your kitchen 

Choosing an integrated fridge is as much a joinery and design decision as an appliance one. Unlike a freestanding fridge, which sits visually independent in the kitchen, a fully integrated model installs behind a panel door that your cabinetmaker supplies to match your existing cabinetry. When the door is closed, there’s no visible appliance: just an uninterrupted run of kitchen joinery. 

That seamlessness is the whole point. For kitchens where a cohesive aesthetic matters, an integrated fridge removes the visual break that even the cleanest stainless freestanding model creates. It’s particularly effective in open-plan living spaces where the kitchen is on display, or in designer kitchens where every surface is considered.  

The practical requirements follow from that design intent. An integrated fridge needs to be specified during the kitchen planning stage, with cabinetry built to the manufacturer’s cutout dimensions. Retrofitting one into an existing kitchen is possible but requires careful measurement and usually some cabinetry work. If you’re mid-renovation, now is the right time to decide.  

 

Which integrated fridge format suits your kitchen?  

Integrated fridges at Betta span four distinct formats, each suited to a different use case. The table below maps format to household need to help narrow the decision before browsing the full range. 

Integrated top mount fridge 
Best for: Single-person or couple; secondary fridge 
Brands at Betta: Fisher & Paykel, Artusi 
Key Features: Compact footprint; suits butler's pantry or home bar setups 

Integrated French door fridge 
Best for: Families wanting full-height fridge + freezer drawer 
Brands at Betta: Fisher & Paykel 
Key Features: Panel-ready; hides behind cabinetry for a seamless look 

Integrated bar fridge 
Best for: Dedicated drinks or snack storage; entertaining areas 
Brands at Betta: Artusi 
Key Features: Single door; underbench; ideal alongside kitchen island 

Integrated fridge freezer drawer 
Best for: Underbench frozen storage; supplementary to a main fridge 
Brands at Betta: Fisher & Paykel 
Key Features: Pull-out drawer format; see French drawers page for more  

One thing worth checking beyond the total capacity figure: the fridge-to-freezer split varies between models. If frozen storage is a priority, compare the freezer section capacity specifically rather than relying on the headline litre rating. 

 

What to get right before you buy 

At this capacity and price point, side by side fridges come with a range of features that aren’t standard on smaller fridge formats. Here’s what to look for across the range. 

 

Cutout dimensions 

Every integrated fridge model has specific cutout width, height and depth requirements that your cabinetry must match. These vary between brands and models and are not always standardised, so confirm the exact cutout dimensions from the product installation guide before your cabinetmaker begins work. A few millimetres off can mean the panel doesn’t hang correctly or the door doesn’t open cleanly. 

Panel and hinge requirements 

A fully integrated fridge requires a custom panel door supplied by your cabinetmaker, attached to the fridge’s door using a hinge kit that the manufacturer provides. Check whether the hinge kit is included with the appliance or needs to be ordered separately. Fisher & Paykel and Artusi both supply integration kits, but the specific kit varies by model, so confirm compatibility before ordering.  

Ventilation 

Integrated fridges require ventilation clearance above, below or behind the unit to allow heat to dissipate. The location and minimum clearance varies by model and must be incorporated into the cabinetry design. Insufficient ventilation affects cooling performance and long-term reliability, so don’t treat the ventilation specification as optional. Your cabinetmaker and appliance installer should coordinate on this before installation.  

Professonal installation 

While integrated fridges don’t require a licensed tradesperson to connect them the way gas ovens do, professional installation is strongly recommended. Fitting the appliance correctly, hanging the panel door square and ensuring ventilation is adequate are all jobs where getting it wrong is obvious and correcting it after the fact is expensive. Most Betta showrooms can advise on local installation options. 

  

Integrated fridge brands at Betta 

Fisher & Paykel’s integrated fridge range at Betta covers French door, top mount and fridge freezer drawer configurations. Their ActiveSmart technology manages airflow and humidity independently across different storage zones, which means food stays fresher for longer without manual adjustment. Fisher & Paykel integration kits are available to suit each model and are designed to work with standard Australian cabinetry profiles.  

Artusi covers top mount and integrated bar fridge formats at a price point that makes the integrated format more accessible than the premium end of the market. Artusi’s integrated bar fridges are particularly well suited to kitchen islands, butler’s pantries and home entertaining areas where a dedicated drinks or snack fridge behind a flush panel is the goal. 

 

Planning an integrated fridge into your renovation? 

The time to choose an integrated fridge is during the kitchen design stage, before cabinetry is ordered. If you’re at that point, visit a Betta showroom to see the Fisher & Paykel and Artusi models in person, confirm the cutout dimensions and talk through integration requirements before committing. If a fully integrated option isn’t right for your renovation, Betta’s full fridges range covers freestanding formats including French drawer fridges, side by side fridges and bar fridges, all in one place. 

Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an integrated fridge freezer?

The most important factors are cutout dimensions (which must match the cabinetry your joiner builds), the integration kit requirements for your chosen model, and ventilation clearances that need to be incorporated into the cabinet design. Beyond the installation requirements, consider capacity relative to household size, whether you need a full-height fridge freezer or supplementary underbench storage, and whether the format (top mount, French door or freezer drawer) suits the way your kitchen is laid out.
Which integrated fridge brands are available in Australia?

Fisher & Paykel and Artusi are two of the most widely available integrated fridge brands in Australia, both stocked at Betta across multiple configurations. Fisher & Paykel is well regarded for build quality, ActiveSmart food preservation technology and a comprehensive integration kit range; Artusi offers a broader model selection at a more accessible price point, with a particular strength in integrated bar fridges for entertaining spaces.
What is the difference between an integrated fridge and a built-in fridge?

The terms are often used interchangeably, but there is a meaningful distinction. A built-in fridge is designed to fit within a cabinetry cavity but may still have a visible appliance door and handle. A fully integrated fridge goes one step further: it is completely hidden behind a custom panel door that matches surrounding cabinetry, with no visible appliance elements when the door is closed. All integrated fridges are built-in, but not all built-in fridges are fully integrated.
