Perlick has been making top-end refrigeration appliances of all types since 1917, and they are proud to bring Perlick Armor™ technology to Appliances Connection. If you live in a coastal area and you have outdoor appliances, you may have noticed that they lose their shine rather quickly. The salty, humid air is less than ideal when it comes to getting the most use out of outdoor refrigeration in particular. This is also true if you live on a houseboat, if you have a saltwater pool, or if you just live in an area that has extreme weather. That's the problem Perlick Armor™ aims to solve: by combining a suite of innovative technologies, the brand has made a series of undercounter refrigerators, freezers, beer dispensers, and more that can stand up to the problems that coastal and marine life can bring.
What Is Perlick Armor™?
Perlick Armor™ is Perlick's name for a combination of technologies that allows them to manufacture marine- and coastal-grade outdoor refrigeration. These features include:
- Upgraded 316 and 304 stainless steel construction, in one piece wherever possible
- Improved fasteners to maintain a proper seal for longer
- Hinges made with stainless steel and zinc, repelling rust
- Condensers that are E-coated for additional durability
- An upgraded, environmentally friendly refrigeration system for use in all weather
Built for Indoor and Outdoor Storage
Humidity and salty air aren't just a problem for outdoor appliances in coastal areas, but for indoor ones as well. That's why Perlick has manufactured freezers, refrigerators, wine coolers, beer dispensers, and beverage centers for indoor use that utilize the same Perlick Armor™ technology as their outdoor counterparts. Many of them can even be bought in panel-ready designs, allowing you to match the existing appearance of your kitchen.
