Recess dishwasher into wall cavity

Maximum stud centre's are 600mm and common studs are 35mm, that gives you 565mm between the studs. There's a very good chance there will be a load bearing stud you will have to cut out which I would highly recommend not doing. It's a little hard to say what your options may be without seeing what you are up against, can you post some photo's? Does this wall have a window/door near the dishwasher opening? also is the roof a truss roof? It may have a girder truss loading on it? As much info on the frame as you can, some photo's of the inside of the roof above the dishwasher would be helpful.

It is possible to do what you want but the problem as Balliang said there willl be a structural stud behind the current dishwasher, the correct way to do this would be to put a head in above the dishwasher opening with possibly double studs either side to hold this head up, or notch rebate the existing studs to take the new timber head, this would hold up any loads the stud is currently taking (simiar to making a window opening).

The main issue you will have with this is that to do a head above the opening you need to open up the wall above the opening and possibly either side, so because you have existing cupboards / tiling etc in the way then I would say this is not a feasable option as you will have to remove these obstructions, which means you will have to replace them when finished and is not worth the cost, good thinking though.

I would just look at the intergrated dishwashers, these are a lot cheaper nowdays, and fit in seemlessy to your existing cabnitry, fully integrated are around 550mm deep, Omega one is 544mm Omega Dishwasher OFI603A | Appliances Online

Better to spend your money on a decent dishwasher rather than chopping up the wall.

As well as the cost decreases you will find that if you buy a decent dishwasher they are incredibly quiet these days. So much so I often open the door and get sprayed because I don't realise it is on.

Like Metrix posted any of the semi-integrated dishwashers should fit in the depth and they are cheaper than the fully integrated options.

Thanks for all the replies.

As there is a stud in the way it is too hard/not worth it, so I will keep looking at integrated machines. That Omega unit is more in my price range than the Bosch and ASKO units I had found.
