Ceiling hood - which kitchen is worth choosing for?
Are you looking for a discreet and unobtrusive island cooker hood? Choose a ceiling hood! It’s an excellent alternative to traditional island hoods, designed for kitchens with a lowered ceiling. Find out when it's worth choosing such a hood and what to consider when buying one.
A ceiling hood is intended for installation in a lowered ceiling. It is one of the hottest kitchen trends, both for its visual effects and practical aspects. Such a structure can hide an uneven ceiling or conceal ventilation ducts. Lowered ceilings are often placed above kitchen islands. If there’s a hob on the island, you’ll need a good hood. In such cases, a ceiling hood is an excellent choice, as it purifies the air and provides additional lighting in the kitchen.
A ceiling hood usually takes the form of a flat cuboid. Thanks to its compact size, it takes up little space and is an excellent option for those who want to save space in the kitchen.
This type of hood is installed on a suitable frame and can operate in extraction or recirculation mode. The first option requires proper connection to the ventilation. This allows it to effectively remove steam and fumes from cooking, expelling them outside the room. If there’s an option to connect the hood to a ventilation system, it’s worth doing so, as the hood will work more efficiently and quietly.
However, if it’s not possible to connect the hood to a ventilation shaft, it can operate in recirculation mode. This requires the use of carbon filters, which help purify the air by removing unpleasant odours.
One of the main advantages of ceiling-mounted hoods is their discreet nature. Such a hood looks more like an elegant lamp than a traditional extractor, making it easy to blend into almost any environment. These devices are also a great choice for smaller kitchens as they take up little space, providing extra room in kitchen cabinets and above the hob. Many people also appreciate that ceiling hoods are mounted high enough to offer plenty of space and freedom during cooking, making the process more comfortable.
These types of hoods can also work with external motors, which can be installed in the attic, pantry, or outside the building. The biggest benefit of this solution is the near-complete silencing of the hood, making the kitchen environment more pleasant.
