Shopping Tip:
Before buying a hood, it is important to determine the type of hood you need, given your space and what is available in your kitchen. First and foremost, identify if there is a provision for a duct out of your kitchen to vent out the unwanted elements. Regular ducts feature a 120mm or 4-inch diameter. Any small diameter than what is required will undermine the performance of the hood and will most likely void the warranty of your appliance.
If no ducting pipe is available, you can either arrange this to be installed by your contractor or simply opt for the recycling installation type. You would, however, be limited to the traditional hoods if you opt not to install a duct pipe.
After this has been settled, identify whether your wall cabinets are directly on top of your cooking area so you can determine the size you will need. Generally speaking, the size of the cabinets restrict the size of the range hood that can be installed, as the hood will be mounted under the cabinets. As such, options for this type of installation include traditional hoods and telescopic hoods.
If no cabinets are present directly on top of the cooking area, then you have the freedom of choosing the type of decorative chimney hood that matches your preference and kitchen design. Please take note though that due to the higher suction power of these types of hoods, an over sized 150mm or 6-inch pipe is required to efficiently vent out odors and smoke from your kitchen.
Choosing the type of hood:
There are three main types of hoods and we’ve broken down their functions and explained what they do to help you find the right one for your application.
