Kitchen Renovation Trends: Range Hood Ducting Options

An Essential Part of any kitchen

An Essential Part of any kitchen

Range hoods are essential to any kitchen. Without them you are left with a thin film of grease covering all exposed surfaces and the sound of the smoke alarm resonating in your ears. Your choice of range hood becomes more important depending on what you intend to be cooking. If lots of stir fry’s are on the menu then you will need a range hood of some force in order to remove all the airborne oils. There are essentially three types of range hood ducting options to consider when renovating your kitchen.

In ceiling

The gasses will be vented into the ceiling space. You will need to ensure sufficient airflow exists in the attic space so that the gases can get away.

Carbon filter

This will filter the gasses, oils, smoke etc and eject clean air but the filter must be changed at regular intervals.

Outer wall

Send it straight outside for mother nature to worry about, she loves it.

The ducted option (in ceiling, outer wall) is always preferable and a renovation is the perfect time to knock a hole in the wall and not have to replace a carbon filter ever again.  Hollywood Bathrooms and Kitchens have all the trades to ensure that the work will occur without hassles and all under one project manager.
