TopagnaOverlook Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I want to place a 42 inch built-in fridge in a 48 inch opening. Would furring strips or studs be best to close the 6 inch gap for drywall? If furring strips, CA help suggests adding an additional layer to the wall segment, or for studs, adding another 6-inch adjacent wall. What would be your approach?

VHampton Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Make a new wall type. Take a 6" interior and copy it. Change the width to something like 1-1/2", and call it Interior 2 or Furring wall. When they frame the room in the field, the cabinet wall will be viewed more like a component of the millwork, not necessarily part of the structure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Are you talking about a wall recess to push the frig back into? If so I use a Niche in the wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgardner Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I have done it different ways but sometimes I will just use a solid wall and place a doorway the size of the fridge opening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
