Enclosed Washer/Dryer cabinet

14 years ago

I'd like to do a cabinet similar to this; is the washer/dryer cabinet vented in anyway? I was looking at the spec requirements and they indicate venting is required e.g. a mesh or slats about the size of a air/heat register.

There are only the pocket doors in the front and cabinet side panels on the sides of the washer and dryer. There is no back to the cabinet. The dryer vents out through the back wall. We raised the floor for the drain on the washer and tiled it for a finished look.

Love the pocket door idea...how much width did that add to your space for the washer/dryer?

Depending on the hardware used for the pocket doors, you would need an extra 9"-12". We used 24" wide Bosch washer and dryers here, so the total space was 58".
