Thanks to the wide selection of designs and sizes that exist for every kitchen and every requirement, whether you'd like your hood to be a highlight feature or snugly nested within your cabinetry, you can rest assured that you'll find the perfect solution for your kitchen.
Hoods
If strong smells and greasy surfaces bother us, then we should invest in a hood to keep our homes clean, cool and fresh smelling. That's how a hood with effective extraction helps us save on cleaning time. What's more, hoods come with built-in lighting to brighten up our cooking area.
Discover the common types of hoods to match your design preferences.
Island
An elegant centrepiece that is attached to the ceiling above the hob on your kitchen island.
Wall-mounted
A stylish feature that is mounted to the wall above the hob on your kitchen counter.
Telescopic
A slimline design with a sliding section that can be extended to increase extraction area when needed.
Built-under
A compact design that snugly fits under the cabinet above your hob
Select a suitable hood to expel odours and grease more effectively.
Minimum extraction rate
Apart from their designs, we should choose our hoods based on their extraction rate. Ideally, an effective hood should be able to replace the entire volume of air in our kitchen 10 times an hour. You can calculate the minimum extraction rate you require with your kitchen dimensions.
Position your hood well for optimal extraction and heat protection.
Distance
Install your hood at a recommended height above your hob, depending on the type of hob you use.
Consider your hood's ventilation mode to ensure seamless integration.
Vented
Ensure you use a ducting pipe of minimal length and bending by installing it closer to the window.
Recirculation
Check that you have a recirculation kit that comes as part of the package to be installed within your hood.
