By KING CAVE· Last updated 17 July 2026 · 3 min read

The Schmick SK206 is a 233-litre twin-door upright bar fridge built around one shared footprint, with three finish and door combinations to choose from. Whether you're after a stainless steel solid-door workhorse or a black heated-glass display fridge for a humid alfresco bar, every SK206 variant shares the same 895mm-wide, 800mm-high, 575mm-deep cabinet — so picking a finish won't change how it fits your space. Below is the full spec comparison, a breakdown of each model, and the fitting details you need before you order.

SK206-B-HD: Black, Heated Glass

The SK206-B-HD is the black-finish, heated-glass version of the SK206, built to hold 233 litres across two glass doors. The heated glass helps keep condensation off the doors, which pushes power use to 3.73 kWh/24h and a running cost of $349.08/year, still against a 6.0-star energy rating. At 43 dB and rated for both indoor and outdoor use, it's a solid pick for an alfresco bar or entertaining area where you want the black finish and a lockable, twin-door glass display.

SK206-HD: Stainless, Heated Glass

The SK206-HD pairs the same heated-glass twin-door setup with a stainless steel finish. It shares the black model's 233-litre capacity, 3.73 kWh/24h power draw, 349.08 AUD/year running cost, and 6.0-star energy rating, running at 43 dB. Like the rest of the SK206 range it's lockable and rated for indoor and outdoor placement, making it the stainless-finish choice when you want heated glass to manage condensation.

SK206-SD: Stainless, Solid Door

The SK206-SD swaps glass for two solid stainless steel doors, which drops power consumption to 2.06 kWh/24h and running cost to $192.79/year — the most efficient model in the SK206 range, despite sharing the same 6.0-star energy rating as the glass-door variants. It runs at the same 43 dB, holds the same 233-litre capacity, and is lockable and rated for both indoor and outdoor use, making it the choice for anyone who doesn't need a viewing window and wants lower running costs.

Fitting & Ventilation

All three SK206 models share the same 895mm (W) x 800mm (H) x 575mm (D) external footprint and are freestanding units, so there's no built-in cavity requirement to plan around. They do need 50mm of rear clearance for ventilation — allow this gap behind the fridge so air can circulate around the compressor and coils. Each model uses a twin-door layout with both doors hinged (opening away from each other for full-width access), though the doors themselves are not reversible.
