Comments (21)Megamuffin, if it helps at all, I have a couple of pictures of my fridge when it was in the store. I purchased a floor model. You can see how it was installed with the cabinets flush with the door panels. That's exactly how it should look when the door panels are installed now that it's in my kitchen. Way back when we were in the planning stages, I discussed wanting my fridge installed so that the panels with flush with the cabinets.

You have to make sure a second floor drain either is or is not going to be required in the room before going further with design. 1/2” per foot slope is just too steep for inside a shower and I wouldn‘t go there if that is ever a suggestion....See MoreUser
