With that said our new Samsung's will come out some 5" more , the 3 1/2" base will be cut out, and the top over the machines will have to be re-made. It should work when delivered soon but no morre room for dancing in the laundry room. Possibly the newer homes are being built to accomodate the larger appliances.
The interior door in our laundry room is louvered and I assume that is for air flow. Is your laundry room pocket door a standard door or is it louvered? I would like to replace our louvered door to minimize the noise in the rest of the house when the appliances are in use. Anyone know if this can safely be done?
