Kitchen cooker hood
Comments (4)Can't see the difference, but if you're having plynths, then go all around as it will look like you forgot on the cooker. Plus, as it's a 'high' food area, you'll just be on your hands and knees with a dustpan and brush getting stuff out that's dropped. !!...See MoreWhere to place hob, cooker hood and sink in ICF House
Comments (9)There are other options than just getting a free generic design done... we offered a design service. We don’t sell any products, have no commissions coming in from anyone, so are totally focused on getting the design right to suit you ... then you shop around with that design and compare like for like - and buy from whomever you like best ! It’s not free, no. We have several levels of service , but even the most expensive is only about the cost of a good dishwasher, for most average sized kitchens. Shopping around could save you thousands....See Moreangled glass wall mounted cooker hoods (recirculation)
Comments (3)We had a non branded one in our last house that had good reviews for being quiet and was inexpensive and that was a recirculating one. The filters were fairly easy to change but we did get a build up of grease at the top on the ceiling still and I don’t fry foods! Is there definately no way of venting it out? If not, just check the extraction rate for recirculating for that brand and see if they do special converters for it like the Neff hood I have do. Ie they do one called a clean air filter which is almost as effective as vented but costs over £400! Eek. Then of course the standard carbon filter....See MoreCooker hood over breakfast bar?!
Comments (4)I'd like to add air extractors don't have a grease filter. It may increase smells (and everything that goes with stinky dirt) on the long run.. But most important: "An point to be checked is the required airflow for you extractor, normally this depends on the size of kitchen and also the type of cooking. The correct airflow for an extractor can be easily worked out, simply multiply the volume of the room by ten and you will obtain the ideal airflow for your kitchen. For example for a kitchen size of 4m x 4m with a height of 2.7m: (4 x 4 x 2.7) x 10 = 432. Therefore any product with the airflow of 432 m3/h will provide efficient ventilation."...See MoreIsla Cherry

3 months agoJust an opinion on the having a gas hob on an island in the middle of the downstairs.
Placing anything on an island limits its functionality. It is much better when the island is free of sink or hob (and these are on walls) as it has better flow and can be used as a gathering point, a buffet point, a prep counter top, homework station and many other things.
If you compromise these functions by including hob with the gubbins (extractor, utensils, oils, seasoning etc) right in the middle of the house I think it is a waste. Every time you cook you'll have to clean the hob. A gas hob takes some cleaning.
I recommend a hob on a wall area with a ceiling flush extractor. Keep your island for prep, storage, gathering, nibbles etc, unless you are totally into teppanyaki and like to spend time cleaning hobs.
