Cooker hood in chimney beast

Priscillia Soler

6 years ago

I would like to know what sort of cooker hood was used? I have a similar chimney breast ans recently purchased a new range cooker who is sitting in the chimney breast. I need to also replace thecooker hood and am struggling to determine what to buy and how to fit it (ducting or no ducting, that is the question...).

We often use the 'Elibloc' extractors by Elica for inside cooker hoods and they work really well, you can check them out here: https://elica.com/GB-en/hoods/elibloc

angled glass wall mounted cooker hoods (recirculation)

We had a non branded one in our last house that had good reviews for being quiet and was inexpensive and that was a recirculating one. The filters were fairly easy to change but we did get a build up of grease at the top on the ceiling still and I don’t fry foods! Is there definately no way of venting it out? If not, just check the extraction rate for recirculating for that brand and see if they do special converters for it like the Neff hood I have do. Ie they do one called a clean air filter which is almost as effective as vented but costs over £400! Eek. Then of course the standard carbon filter.

Cooker hood heights - lessons learned!

Hi Huw, The minimum height requirement for a hood above a electric hob is 650mm and for Gas it is 750mm. Bear in mind that standard glass splash-backs are 750mm high so if you have it fitted higher there will be a gap. The chimney can be cut down to suit but if it is vented out of the wall you will need room for the extractor tube. Hope this helps. Phillip from Klass kitchens.

Which cooker hood looks best?

Thank you all so much. We have had months and months of conversation and research on this issue and I'm just so tired of it. Now we've paid the deposit for the kitchen and the builder is booked for the extension work to start we're feeling the pressure in terms of making decisions. You've all helped to encourage me to reconsider all options again with fresh eyes (we put the whole thing on hold for a coupld of months as we're unable to make a decision). The round chimney is my preference of the two and I prefer it to any other chimney style extractor. My overall preference would be a flush ceiling extractor but this is ultimately down to what the builder says and how this could fit alongside the beam. A venting hob is a compromise for us, which I'm sure we'd get used to very quickly as you always do once things are done. We have already designed the kitchen layout and planned where everything will go so it will take some thinking to lose the drawer/cupboard below the hob. It's exhausting going over and over the same pert of the project and never quite finding a conclusion we're happy with. But if certainly helps to have all your friendly people to talk it through with. Thanks again. Ruth

Thanks jonathan. the breast wall hasnt been built as yet, the builder said there are no brackets with the extractor so in order to make it fit he would have to build a timber housing unit and then build the breast wall around that, and that just seems a lot of work so i thought i must have bought the wrong one? its been a lot of drama over an extractor!
