Ceiling cooker hood options
In an ideal world I would have a flush, discreet, white ceiling extractor like the one in my render, however the joist height above the ceiling isn't deep enough to house the motor, even with the slimmest motor I could find.What would you suggest as the most discreet alternative? Do I:
1) Create a bulkhead the same size as the island?
2) Build down the extractor area only and have a slim border around the edge? This would mean the pendant lights still go into the maximum ceiling height.
Hope you can help!
Thanks,
Fay

Help: Island Cooker Hood for low ceiling?
Comments (4)Thank you Ballycastle. I have considered everything and more! The Gutmann looks lovely, but I really prefer extraction if poss. We have finally decided to go for a Franky Galaxy Slim ceiling extractor without a motor. We will have to have a small false ceiling made, but think this is best as it won't obstruct the views through what is, a fairly large open plan area, to the garden....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 MoreCooker hood heights - lessons learned!
Comments (3)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.

Comments (6)Hello! It very much depends on the overall look of your kitchen and the layout. If having the cupboard above the cooker is imperative to make the kitchen feel more cohesive then making sure that your integrated extractor has sufficient power to be effective - your kitchen supplier will be able to tell you what they supply for that. If you were to change to get rid of the cupboard and use a ceiling or wall mounted extractor then it will become a feacture in the space as it will contrast with the cupboards. Not to say that this is a bad thing, sometimes this can add interest to the space but again it depends on the overall layout and scheme. If you had some drawings of the kitchen it would be really helpful....See Moresmac232

4 years agoHi Fay, as mulligf says want about a BORA hob? the system was designed to solve problems just like this. Its quiet, very easy to clean, doesnt take up alot of space & most important it removes the cooking vapours / grease. Thought i would include a photo from a recent case study featured in the designer magazine. Similar in layout to what you are trying to achieve.
