Yes, a down-draft vent unit was used for this island cooktop. --Tom Hurt

Hi Vausian I have been a kitchen designer for more than 20 years and most of the kitchens we do are quite large and therefor often have an island. So we are very used to kitchens with hobs in islands and the importance of good extraction in this situation. The only solution we have recommended for the past 4 or 5 years is 'cooktop extraction' from Bora. They uniquely look at the hob and extraction system 'as one' and make the best extraction systems by far. They are also very discrete, relatively simple to design into a kitchen and install. Please have a look at their website to see the 3 different levels of their range, Basic, Classic and Professional. https://www.bora.com/en/ CK

Island extractor - flush to ceiling vs downdraft?
Q

Hi there. Looking for some related advice. We''re also ordering a new kitchen and are trying to decide on an extractor. The only issue is that the ceiling is about 3.25-3.5m high so everyone keeps telling us to have a bulkhead over the island as a ceiling mounted extractor will be inefficient otherwise (we're told a height of more than 1.5m above the hob is the maximum; ours will be about 2.2m...). We really don't want anything hanging from the ceiling over the kitchen island as it is in an open space and will ruin the whole open plan concept. Do you know of any flush ceiling mounted extractors with motors which are strong enough to work at that height? Currently looking at Falmec, Sirius and Frecan but would love to hear your suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Sorry Mat not sure if I follow. Are you having storage put in by the door? There is no storage labelled on your plans. If so, then visually speaking, the room starts from where the floor starts not from where the wall behind the cabinets starts. So if you have the same distance from both sides i.e. from right wall and from the left cabinet, it will still look symmetrical. Do you see how the room starts from the door of the cabinet and not from the splash back behind the sink? Here the column between the doors looks the same size as the wall next to the cabinets, whereas in reality the wall is at least 60cm wider. Again here the door appears to be in the centre of the room but in reality the wall on the left hand side is much wider because it carries on behind the cabinets. The designer has cleverly placed a T.V. there to stop the eye from noticing the rest of the wall. The same effect can be achieved with floor to ceiling cabinets. Was that what you were asking about or have I gone way off?

Thank you for the comments. Bora extractors look great, Luke, but we haven’t had our current induction hob long and not keen to replace it if we don’t have to. Earl & Calam Design and Build we (mainly my husband) cook daily and use the extractor on a low setting almost every time, turning it up when it’s particularly steamy (steaming veg, cooking pasta or reducing sauces). When you say “high powered fan” would the extraction rate just depend on the size of the room? Would provision for a recycling unit just be a power supply? Thanks so much for the advice. I had tried to contact a local kitchen designer but they aren’t working through lockdown.
