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 Moretotally confused by ceiling extractors!
Comments (17)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....See MoreHelp needed please .Extractor fans
Comments (3)Could you put a type of ventilation elsewhere in the room? These are the building regulations. You don’t have to have an extractor fan over the stove...See MoreCeiling flush extractor between joists
Comments (7)Hi, Airuno do a couple called the Slimline Classic and the Eclipse. The motor sits between the joists and the body of the hood sits on the ceiling. The motor can be rotated 90 degrees so you can duct across or along the joists (although a little shaving is required if installing across joists). Alternatively in the budget range, there is the ViandPro Aria. This will sit flush between joists at only 207mm high, but can only be ducted along the joists. So if your joists run the opposite way to the hob, this won't work....See Morelynneeemac
