Fitting vented dryer under a kitchen worktop (ducting)
Discussion
Currently designing a kitchen and utility room. The utility room has a kitchen worktop with cupboards underneath - this would be a typical worktop depth of around 600mm
We want to put a tumble dryer underneath. This will be against and external wall, so we could duct out. However as the ducts always seem to exist out the back of the machine and then would need to turn and run along the back of the machine - would this not push the dryer out by around 100-150mm?
Want it all to be neat and not sticking out into the room (which is already a bit tight).
How is this normally dealt with in kitchen designs?
Thanks

Yeah another consideration is this - even if you do buy the vented dryer, then core a hole in your wall (*exactly*) where the vent comes out, so it goes 'straight out' without a bend, roll along 4 years, the dryer breaks... and ou buy a different model...
after 20 years your holes will look like core bit swiss cheese!
