Kitchen extractor design advice and help please
Comments (7)Hi Gemma. Our old kitchen had a similar problem with the extractor reaching the outside wall via a run along the top of a series of wall cabinets. As we didn't want a the same problem we redesigned our new kitchen with the hob on the opposite side of the room on an outside wall. It now works much more efficiently as the extracted air is sucked out immediately behind the extraction unit....See MoreNo room for a cooker hood - any suggestions?
Comments (33)Wow your ceiling must be really, really low then ? Most extractors have to have a gap between 650mm to 760mm between the bottom of them and the hob part of the cooker - so in your case the lid should have clearance even if set at standard height, even if it’s an over depth appliance. What height is the ceiling ? Is the cooker going right into the corner ? Might be useful to have it 150mm from the corner,so you have a small clearance for pan handles on the left. If you’d like me to look over your plan to safety check it - I’ll happily do that for free - just email me if you don’t want to post it publicly on here....See MoreKitchen extractor hood on 4m-high wall
Comments (9)As well as a chimney style you could have a contemporary extractor or a contemporary canopy or hide the extractor in a cabinet or put the extractor in the ceiling. You have lots of options. We would be happy to talk these through with you and to help with other aspects of your kitchen design.

Comments (14)Perhaps look for a ceiling extractor instead of a canopy-unit (to build into the canopy)? These often require less height and the pipe can be placed on the side (left, right, back). Some have only remote control, others have buttons too. But plenty of build-in/undermount units have the option to place the motor max.3m away from the unit (please do regard accessibility though). A 15cm pipe would be sufficient. If the canopy is wider then the stove, you could add two leds on either side of the extraxtor unit. They could have their own switch, but a good electrician (that works with kitchen appliances often) can hook them on the on-switch of the unit (but then you can only use them with the unit on). Sidenote: A recirculation unit needs to be installed together with an exteractor fan to remove moist from the home. We use them in modern homes that have ventilation systems. Just an example: Novy Mini Pure'line...See MoreDaisy England
