A good exhaust hood removes heat, grease and smoke before they spread through your kitchen. A poor one makes the kitchen hot, greasy and difficult to inspect. Here is what to consider before you order.
Wall-mounted hoods
If your cooking line runs along a wall, a wall-mounted hood is the efficient choice. The wall helps guide fumes upward, so the hood can be more compact. Choose between the wall-mounted hood with filters for greasy cooking and the version without filters for steam and heat.
Island hoods
When cooking equipment sits in the middle of the room, an island hood is required. Because air is pulled from every side, island hoods must overhang the equipment further. See the island hood with filters and the island hood without filters.
How to size a hood
- The hood should extend past the edges of the cooking equipment on every open side.
- Match the extraction rate to the heat load of the appliances underneath: grills and fryers need more than steamers.
- Plan the duct route, the fan location and make-up air at the same time. Extraction without fresh air coming in will not work.
Stainless steel and cleaning
Hoods in AISI 304 stainless steel resist heat and corrosion and are easy to wipe down. Choose filters that can be removed and washed or put through a dishwasher.
