Exhaust fan

4 years ago

Was curious if the exhaust fan was purchased or custom made? I am looking for something similar for my offset vent in my ceiling. Thank you.

Latest advice appreciated on the best big induction downdraught hobs please (Berbel, Bora, Gaggenau, Siemens, Bosch or others). We want best steam and fat clearance rates, quietest motors, easy-clean (unsure re self-clean, ducted or recirulated air). Berbel's FaceBook page features lots of customer complaints regarding after-sales service and spare parts, but some seem due to Covid delays which we think is unavoidable; another mentions guests sitting "in a haze" from the recirculated air and obviously nobody wants that! We need to order very soon but definitely don't want ceiling extraction. Many thanks for prompt replies!

Hi @J Lo no we haven’t bothered (yet). Generally its been fine. There’s no escaping the fact the long feed does create a bit of unavoidable condensation but it’s nothing major and easily manageable with some workaround measures. I got some cooker hood filters and cut them to size to lay on top of the cooker hood to trap the grease and smells more. i also fold a piece of kitchen paper into a square and put that underneath the motor of the fan so if there are any drips through where the motor unit is screwed together (that is the main culprit!) its well absorbed. The filter lasts about 3 months before I change it. The kitchen paper I change every couple of weeks and just to stress its a tiny greasy drip each time that dries up. I just change it for cleanliness when I check it and wipe the side of the fans, as I would anyway even without that issue. The way I see it is it’s still a much better set up than relying on a recirculating hood that doesn’t take the smells or grease outside at all. So the very minor condensation issue is a small price to pay. I was a bit obsessed with it when I posted on here but don’t give it too much thought now… until you posted and reminded me haha! I would suggest though if you have the option you may as well do what you can now while the dirty work is going on for peace of mind. Whatever your builder says there will defnitely be a little condensation whatever the set up, unless you have a really powerful fan or the extra fan on the chimney - its just physics and gravity that can’t be avoided. Either way you want to get it sorted now in my view rather than later as you probably won’t get round to it, as has been the case with us. That said, like I say it’s not a major issue if you have the same results as us. Only thing a few people have said is that over time it will cause the fan to fail but I haven’t noticed any problems yet so all good so far touch wood

You could follow hotel ideas and put a coving around the ceiling with lights hidden in this. Or a central feature panel with the same lights in but it depends how tall your ceilings are? That can create a nice cosy effect. Also faux window panel with natural led behind to make it feel like natural light. Could work. Otherwise lots of mirrors and wall lights perhaps to reflect light around? We looked into loads as was planning a windowless bathroom but we managed to get a rooflight in as not a flat.

Kitchen Ventilation question

I wouldn't have a grate in the ceiling of the chimney breast as this would also allow steam to enter into the chimney. The steam would then condense inside the chimney and if there's any soot/debris in the chimney stack it could then dislodge so you could have at least dirty water dripping back onto the cook area or even soot/debris falling. Any chimney thats blocked off should have an air vent at the base to allow air movemnet in that part of the stack. Having another part of the stack used for the wood burner shouldn't be linked to the stack in the kitchen as each fireplace would have its own seperate flue inside the chimney stack.
