Down draft extractor??
Comments (4)Down drafts are very effective but also more expensive than standard extractors. Remember you need to allow quite a bit of space if you are fitting one behind a hob but you can get ones that are designed to sit to one side. The newer option is for a flush mounted ceiling extractor that is extremely neat and unobtrusive and could be a good option for you if you have the option to extract out through the ceiling void, depends on whether you have joists running in the right direction and whether you are having building work done so it could be part of the project...See MoreIsland extractor - flush to ceiling vs downdraft?
Comments (40)Hi there. Looking for some related advice. We''re also ordering a new kitchen and are trying to decide on an extractor. The only issue is that the ceiling is about 3.25-3.5m high so everyone keeps telling us to have a bulkhead over the island as a ceiling mounted extractor will be inefficient otherwise (we're told a height of more than 1.5m above the hob is the maximum; ours will be about 2.2m...). We really don't want anything hanging from the ceiling over the kitchen island as it is in an open space and will ruin the whole open plan concept. Do you know of any flush ceiling mounted extractors with motors which are strong enough to work at that height? Currently looking at Falmec, Sirius and Frecan but would love to hear your suggestions. Thanks in advance!...See MoreExtractor question
Comments (4)Is the cooker planned to go against a external wall? You have a few options but it sounds like your steel beam might be right in the way of the duct if it's going straight up. If it's set back and you don't have another floor above, the duct can easily go through the roof. If you have a second floor above then it's more difficult. But there is plenty of ways you can duct out the back wall without wall cupboards. for example the cover for the ductwork can be placed all the wall up to the ceiling even when the duct has taken a turn out the wall. There are contemporary looking exhaust units that will cover the turn straight out to the wall, with no obvious duct work on show. Or you can just get a pop up exhaust or a flush ceiling mounted one. The latter two in my opinion aren't as effective....See MoreCeiling Extractor help please
Comments (10)When replacing an existing kitchen in UK, the current recommendation is that you replace your old extractor with one that’s as good as or better than the previous one . If it’s above the hob it needs to remove a minimum of 30 litres per second if it’s elsewhere in the room it’s a minimum of 60litres per second . There are advantages of having a higher extraction rate than these - ie less moisture in the air - less sticky residue on door fronts and shelves etc! The m3/ph is just another form showing what it does/how efficient etc and can be useful if you want to work out the volume of the room and the air you want to remove etc . Hope that helps ?! It’s basically what your builder suggested - he’s obvs got your back ! Nice to have one on board who’s not trying to help you overspend !!...See More- 4 years ago
