toe kick on Miele built in fridge and dishwasher
Comments (9)check out this picture. I don't know about Miele but I have a Thermador integrated frig that looks exactly the same as the vent shown on this picture. (mine is bottom freezer drawer) The vent is above the toe kick. The door is longer than where the vent starts. so there is a small gap where the air circulates between the back of the door panel and above the toe kick when the door is closed. The toe kick is made of the matching material as the rest of your cabinets. The same is also true for Miele DW. This is hard to explain. Any appliance store that has integrated paneled Miele frig should be able to show you this. MY DW and frig did not come with any black toe kick. They come with nothing since the panels are to be custom made... Here is a link that might be useful: miele toe kick...See MoreSome questions about hydronic toe kick heat
Comments (10)I have to run out but will try to answer some (if not all!) of your questions later tonight. Here are some close-up pics of our Turbonics kickheaters: First pic is the side of the island facing our pantry wall and the doorway to the kitchen. Second pic is the side of the island facing the sink wall. We used the black plastic grates supplied with the units--they fade away and are barely visible unless you are looking for them. They do (or did) offer metallic-look plastic (much like the silver pedal on our trash cab opener I'd imagine), but we opted to stick with the ones we had. We have ours hooked up to switches seen here (had the switchplate made to custom specs by arnev.com--took a few tries to get it right, and DH had to carve out the back of the final version a little to fit the switches in snugly, but the end result is perfect): There are various options for hooking them up as you seem to already know; with or without having them hooked up to the switches, including running both (or in your case, all three) units off one switch. We mostly run ours on low speed, unless it's bitterly cold, and we want to jump-start the warming! :-) Anyway, have to run, but will pop in later with more info. FWIW, we are very happy with ours, and our plumber, who tried to talk us out of getting kick-heaters, was impressed with these when he installed them and tested them out. PS If you do a search at the bottom of the Kitchen Forum page, you might find some older threads with some of my posts about Turbonics....See MoreOpinion on Toe Kick
Comments (14)Thanks, Wendy, for the kind words. No, I wasn't offended! And as you say, wood toekicks don't look odd either. That's what I meant by if you buy them that way. You can match them to your cabinets and they look fine. What I think looks odd is wood shoe molding on tile, which I have seen. It looks a little like "guy design" to me. I'm sure there are some people who have done it with intention and made it look good, but when I've seen it it's looked more like, "Well, they had this shoe at the hardware store and I can stain it to match the cabinets" type guy design. ("Guy" as in not-designed. Not a slam at all males.) I've seen stainless toekicks like Sharonite is planning and they look really cool. So do Macybaby's brown toekicks. The thing about tiled toekicks is that you can bang the mop into them with impunity. :)...See Morecolor of toe kick
Comments (14)Lake Girl, the toe kick. Brickeyee, well, I'm just gonna have to deal with it. In reality, that would be my own shoes. I guess I'll have to be careful. (As an aside, I've been without heat for the past two days and now that the heater's been fixed and warm air is rushing into the cold recesses of my house, I'm counting my blessings.)...See Moresjhockeyfan325
