Extractor fan?
Comments (12)Hi Lisa, a ceiling extractor, that's controlled remotely, sounds like it could be the best option for you. There are several makes on the market - to suit most budgets ... They can be put into the ceiling directly in most cases or can be built into a slightly lower bulkhead, if it's too tight to fit directly into ceiling - in general bulkheads are built about 150mm deep and tend to mimic the shape and size of the island for continuity - and are also a good place to install some task lighting too !...See MoreIsland extractor - flush to ceiling vs downdraft?
Comments (40)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!...See MoreCeiling extractor ducting
Comments (2)Well depends on the specific appliance - some have separate motors that you can position efficiently to avoid the possibility of condensation damage. But if you fancy a good chat about this - best people to contact are the appliance manufacturers, as they will have an in-depth knowledge that the best of us couldn’t aspire to have !...See MoreDo I really need a kitchen extractor?
Comments (15)What's with all the toast burning? We have a timer on the toaster so it pops up when toasted, not burnt. New toasters needed all round? :) We only have a recirculating extractor in our current kitchen. I open the windows a lot, but it isn't sufficient - you can still smell last night's dinner sometimes, and I'm forever cleaning dusty grease off the open shelves and light fittings. I do a lot of wok cooking which may be to blame. In our new kitchen we're having a Bora downdraft extractor - it's an extremely expensive solution but important to me as the kitchen will be open plan to the rest of the house, no door. I'm currently in discussions with the kitchen company and Bora about the ducting being fed through the cupboard behind, rather than the pan drawers under the hob. Seems like it is possible and I'm hoping that will work as the pan drawers are more useful to me. However we did also debate just going for a wall-mounted small extractor. I think if you do that it's important to invest in a good one, and the success of it will depend on how close it is to the hob itself....See More
