Built-in dishwashers today have several different style options to choose from. A popular choice is a model with a finish that matches the other kitchen appliances – commonly white, black, or stainless steel. But maybe you don’t want to break up a beautiful line of cabinetry with a metal box.

You might want to consider a dishwasher model that accepts a panel that matches the cabinetry. The panel can be either a full-height door or a door and drawer front combination.

Dishwashers that accept a custom panel have the controls integrated, visible on the front of the unit, or concealed on top of the unit. Dishwasher panels, especially when used on an integrated model, essentially allow the appliance to disappear.

Cabinetry looks seamless with no visible controls and matching hardware attached to the panel. So seamless, in fact, people may think you don’t even have a dishwasher!
