External kitchen extractor fan

8 years ago

Hi all, I would like to put the kitchen extractor fan and motor outside the kitchen, to cut down on noise. If possible I would like to run ducting from the hole in the wall, along the outside wall and put the fan and motor on the wall outside the utility room, about 3m away from the cooker.

Any recommendations for the hardware to buy? Obviously the fan needs to be controlled from the cooker hood, even though the hood itself will have no motor or fan actually inside it. The system needs a draught baffle too, to prevent blowback.

Hi flow required - the kitchen is large, at 8m x 6m. Hence the idea - a high flow motor inside the kitchen, in the hood, will be noisy...

Has anyone done something like this?

Isn't that just for recirculating extractors? The filter for a vented extractor is usually metal and goes in the dishwasher.

i have the same problem and we have a pitched ceiling so anything looks a bit weird hanging down. i think i am going to go for an extractor that is built in to the hob so it keeps the clean lines and nothing breaks up the sight line across the island. ive looked at a couple and although expensive are a lot less than buying a hob and separate extractor!

Add a charcoal filter to the stainless steel hood to make it recirculating and add a small electric wall fan ( like expelair type ) where you marked the wall - as long as it extracts a min 60lps that should be ok for uk building Regs.

We have a Novy Pure’line built into the ceiling above our island hob in our open plan room and are happy with it. It‘s powerful but also quiet. Also a very discreet design. Westin Stratus was another contender which may be more well known in the UK - Westin are very helpful on the phone if you have queries. If you have a limited ceiling void (eg in an original period building rather than an extension) you may need the Westin Stratus Compact. We do have an electric opening skylight right behind the extractor fan which we use if frying something particularly smelly or smoky - would that be an option?
