Extractor fan help - DIY kitchens

4 years ago

Hi we are trying to finalise our kitchen plans so that we can complete an order. We are going for an induction hob and looking for an extractor fan to fit into a cupboard measuring h 360x d 300 x w 800. DIY kitchens are suggesting a telescopic fan. We'd like to go for a good make, siemens, bosch, miele etc but ask of those are saying 320 cabinet? any suggestions please?!

I would suggest looking at Elica - Sleek which fits nicely within a kitchen unit

its dimensions are 290mm external and 260mm internally. This can be vented or recirculated

Please let us know if we can help in any other capacity

Hi. More photos of the whole space would really help people to give proper suggestions, so give us some when you can. You have white, cream, grey, brown and black, from what you've told us and this pic. The grey could be the only jarring colour, but we need to see more. Well, at least I do before I suggest the backsplash tile colour and style and size! You can have stoves re-enamelled, but it could look great as is. Cleaning? Oven cleaner, elbow grease, washing up liquid, proper scourers - for the inside, that is. An extractor fan on a traditional stove with a sideways flue is going to be tough. Normally, you'd put this in a chimney breast or what looks like one. Anyway, post more pictures (and reassure us that you are going to move those sockets) and then I'm sure you'll get lots of great ideas coming your way.

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?

extraction comes under part F of building regs, so your architect should be detailing this in the plans for the extension. As i understand part F the important bit is Part F When inserting or removing an internal wall, care should be taken not to make ventilation worse. Any new kitchen, a toilet with no openable window; a bath/shower room or utility room should be provided with a mechanical extract fan. The type of room will determine how much ventilation is required. Part F says that where a kitchen previously had only a recirculating fan this can be retained/replaced if it is made no worse. However, I would always recommend fitting an extractor to deal with condensation. • Kitchen: 30l/s if over the hob and 60l/s if placed elsewhere so you could have an expelair type extractor on an external wall that will comply with regs at a minimum.

You're right about thinking everything through beforehand @HU-29303451 and that venting outside is preferable, but: - Not sure where these "golden rules" come from about no hob or sink on the island. If the infrastructure can be put in place, why not? I've just put a Bora hob on our island because it means I'm facing our beautiful view, and my family/guests while I cook, not facing a wall. I briefed that in to our architect right from the start. It's being wired in this afternoon after about two years in the planning and building! I'm delighted to nearly be in a position to cook in a comfortable, well-extracted way which doesn't mean I have my back to the room. I'm not a fan of sinks on an island but that's personal preference, not because there's a golden rule about it. - We've gone for a venting Bora but recirculating is a little more sophisticated than you imply - these extractors include filters which extract grease and smells from the air and release "clean" air back into the room. People often combine them (as far as I understand) with a wall-mounted extractor fan and there are some regulations to follow here if you have a wood burner or open fire in the same room. @Chris Blowers if I were you I'd be considering a recirculating extractor plus a good powerful but quiet wall-mounted extractor fan on one of your external walls.
