Range Hoods

The type depends on where your hob is. A wall mounted hood fixes to the wall above a hob that sits against it, a common layout in most kitchens. An island hood hangs from the ceiling over a hob on a kitchen island. A built-in hood fits inside a cabinet above the hob for a discreet look. This collection includes all three, from brands such as France, Campomatic, La Germania, Opera, Tecnogas and Whirlpool.

Extraction is measured in cubic meters per hour. As a rough guide, multiply your kitchen's volume (length by width by height, in meters) by about 10, since a hood should be able to change the kitchen air around ten times an hour. Open-plan kitchens and frequent frying or grilling call for more power, ideally with several speed settings.

The manufacturer's manual gives the exact distance, and it is important to follow it for safety and good extraction. As a common guide, hoods sit around 65 to 75 cm above a gas hob and somewhat lower above electric or induction hobs. Mounted too high, the hood captures less steam, and mounted too low, it can get in the way or overheat.

All hoods make some noise, and the level rises with the fan speed. Check the noise figure in decibels in each model's specifications, and choose a hood with enough power that it can run at a lower speed for everyday cooking. Correct installation, a properly sized duct and clean filters also help keep the hood quieter.

Yes, our team can install your range hood. We install all kinds of products, and a hood needs secure mounting at the correct height above the hob, a proper electrical connection and, if it is ducted, a suitable duct route. Tell us your hob type and kitchen layout when you order, so we can plan the installation.
