• Two things if anyone can weigh in with an experienced viewpoint:

    Fitting an integrated fridge, will make the doors myself, but I’m a bit confused about the two hinge types - one just bolts directly to the door; the other has a slidy thing - pros and cons?

    We have to take all the floor up downstairs but don’t have the budget for our preferred wood floor in the living room/hall and haven’t decided on kitchen. We don’t want to live with a plain concrete slab for 6-12 months so thought we could get the cheapest lino? Is it easy enough to fit myself? Guess ideally its glued down, and has an underlay? Might skip that bit. Could well go for lino in the kitchen anyway, in which case does it need a screed to level everything out (as it isn’t)?

    So many questions. TIA.

  • There’s two appliance hinge types. Fixed is door attached directly to the fridge, fridge has its own hinges. Sliding, as Sheppz says, the door is hinged normally (though with specific Blum appliance hinges) from the cabinet but connects to the fridge door which opens with it.

    Cheap temp floor; buy some vinyl and maybe underlay and roll it out yourself. No need to glue it down if your going to lift it later. Screed or ply sub floor before the final fancy Forbo in 9 months time.
