extractor duct length

7 years ago

Hi, please could you let me know if the extractor hood is ducted towards the patio or directly behind the cooker? If the duct is running along the wall towards the patio, how long is the duct?

Ok, so I appreciate that these two are not easy to compare. There must be a way however of testing them both fairly and get results that give the consumer an idea of comparison. "..we extract at the point the vapour is produced 100% effectively". I take it with this you mean the extraction is 100% effective and not the vapour produced is 100% effective. What does "100% effectively" mean? It seems to suggest that the cooking smells are completely emitted. This is surely disingenuous or at the least misleading.

Hello Heather, I think you are right in having these discussions with your builder right now, has the project already started? Unfortunately, I left my serious/ detailed discussion on ducting to the last minute because the builder said all along, he can duct out easily but we didn't discuss the exact details, now I can't duct out where I want and it's causing me a real headache ( as it might lead to more boxing in, in addition to my existing boxing in - you replied to my post earlier on 'Ugly boxing in of steels' ). My hob is on a wall and the plan was to duct out through the joist and out of extension roof but my pipe is 2.6m until we get to the extension. We had to have 2 extra joists put in for support of the above floor which now means we can't have a 6inch duct pipe because the joists are in the way, so we are thinking of alternatives but I have a feeling that I might have to duct under the ceiling and box box box and then get around the steel beam.....argh! My only advice is that whatever ducting you plan to have, make sure the builder can definitely deliver what he says he can, go through with him the exact details of how he will do it, otherwise when the time comes, he might turn around and say, sorry we can't do it now. Or even have a plan B. My kitchen company also recommended that you switch the hood on for a bit before you cook and for a while after as well.

Well our builder/joiner used to be a kitchen fitter so he was going to be fitting it but he’s just gone awol and run off somewhere (left all his tools and taken out money and not paid half of his contractors!!) So we have had to take over the project mid way :0( He hasn’t planned the extractor in otherwise he would have designed and made the roof section the pipes need to go into, differently. So as we don’t have anyone yet who can take over the whole thing - we are trying to work out the niggles as best we can and make life easy for ourselves. The plasterers are hopjng to board in 1-2 weeks so I’m thinking the easiest thing to do is to have exposed pipes which will work with our industrial theme I guess. That way it won’t effect the ceiling as it will just under it.

We ended up with the Bora (and non-bora branded ducting, which has been fine, despite the warnings from the Bora team to not go off brand…). ducting goes straight down from the island and then runs under the kicthen floor and patio to an airbrick built into the patio step. Distance from island to airbrick is c.5.5m. No issues (after 12 months) with condensation or anything similar. its the dream.
