Range hood vent

7 years ago

I'm looking at the chimney type of range hood vent. I prefer the look of the one with the glass around it but am concerned about how hard it will be to keep it clean verses the all stainless steel model. Any advice please? Thank you.

Hi Becki, are you looking for an island hood or a wall mount hood? Here is a link to some info mostly about island hoods, however, there is some good general hood info to consider as well:

Doesn't Suck

And yes, the glass is a constant battle to keep clean. I would go with stainless unless you are a vigilant daily cleaner!

Hi guys, Leelee we are definitely doing the vintage bits on the wall. We actually have some vintage cereal boxes that we are planning on displaying on the shelves (filled with cereal of course)!. Sarainitaly - I'm investigating thenIkea planner but it's painful to work (or maybe it's just me!). Here's a pic of the walls totally painted green now. Think the shelves will look great along with some pictures dotted around. It's the cabinets now that will b a pain! BTW it was pure enthusiasm that stopped me waiting until the water heater came off the wall to paint - lol. I will have to paint the patch when it's off.

I would move the table to the window end of the room for view out and light while you eat . Perhaps turn it 90 degrees if that would work with the door opening. You may be able to seat 4. Make the rest of the right hand wall - about half of it a floor to ceiling wall of built in storage including the fridge. Suggest deep drawers for lower and double door pantry cupboards sitting above. The left hand wall in a long line of counter top with the cooker, sink, washing machine, lower cupboards or drawers. Tile backsplash along whole wall and two long open shelves plus art. Definitely replace the flooring - timber or even black and white checkerboard.

Is this kitchen to minimum or just right ???

It looks very good James. Even though as you say it was a clients design build, it works fine. Once the Island has stools it will fill it out better. Has that naked look at the moment. The position of the wine rack might cause issues but overall it looks like a really clean and fresh kitchen. Plenty of natural light and the colours compliment each other. The extractor is a nice feature too. Everyone has different opinions as I see on here but if the client is happy with it then job done. Looks really well fitted too.....well done :)

To put hob on kitchen island or not to put hob on kitchen island?

Hi amfork, I went ahead & put the hob on my island & am delighted I did. I find it really is so much nicer looking out at the kids/my husband & being able to chat to them while I prepare meals as opposed to facing the wall with my back turned on everyone. I put a 4 ring induction hob on the island & put a 5 ring gas hob on counter facing wall. I did this as I have a large extended family & we frequently have get togethers. It’s great for catering for big events. However, I use the 4 ring induction hob on a daily basis. Hope this helps! Best of luck with your project, Claire

I prefer glass as it is easier to clean and you don't need to be concerned about "the grain" when wiping.

Hello Becki Carnahan , Both of the range hood types you are considering have its pros and cons.
If you cook a lot, the glass type of range hood is not the best one, as the suction will be mainly concentrated in the middle. When it comes to cleaning, you will have to clean it probably daily, as the glass accumulates a lot of dust.
The pyramid type range hoods are always the best ones, as the blowers are installed in the middle, but since the body is a pyramid and it is open inside, the suction will be even through the entire length. Cleaning the all stainless steel range hood is not required as often, as the dust is not as visible as the glass type range hoods.

Please if you have any further questions do not hesitate to contact us.

Best Regards!
