Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Built-under Cooker Hood Buying Guide
Cooker hoods come in all shapes and sizes - the hood that is best for you will be dictated mostly by the shape of your kitchen, and the position of your cooker within it. The 3 main fitting types of are island (free hanging), wall-mounted and integrated. Here we will talk about a subset of integrated cooker hoods, built-under hoods:
Built-under models
A form of integrated cooker hoods, these models are meant to be attached under cupboards and fittings in your kitchen - sitting between the cooker and the bottom of the fittings. Because of their smaller size, they are ideal for more cramped kitchens, or places where a traditional chimney extractor hood would be too bulky.
Extraction Types
Cooker hoods work by sucking up the air given off from cooking, and either moving it to the outside through a duct or cleaning and recirculation it inside the room. Most cooker hoods can be operated both ducted and in recirculation mode.
The extraction power rating is measured in m³/h - the higher a hood’s extraction rating, the quicker it extracts air from the room.
Ducted
Ducted hoods feature a duct which channels hot air and smoke to the outside. Because they require access to the outside air (normally through a hole drilled through an outside wall), these type of hoods usually require specialist installation, or a hole from a previous installation. Extracting the air is more effective than recirculation the air.
Recirculating
Recirculating hoods take the dirty air and smoke given off from cooking, pass it through a filter to clean it, then blow it back into the kitchen. They do not require outside access, so are easier and less invasive to install, but are not as efficient at removing smoke and cooking odours as ducted hoods.
Filters
Filters serve to trap grease and smoke given off by cooking, leading to a better-smelling and cleaner kitchen. There are 2 different types of filters for cooker hoods - grease filters are important for all different types of hoods, since they help reduce the grease in the air and the smell of cooking. Carbon filters, on the other hand, are only necessary with recirculating air systems, since they strip the smoke from the air before it is recirculated back into your kitchen. These filters last about a year before they need to be replaced.
The hoods in our system are given a grease filtering efficiency grade. The better the grade, they more efficient they are at removing grease and odours from the air.
Cooker Hood Colours
Cooker hoods come in many different colours to best complement your cooker and kitchen. Most hoods can be found in plain silver, white or black but you can also find more adventurous colours - from bright red to fluorescent green - if you really want to make a statement!
Noise Level
A cooked hood is basically a large fan, so they make can make quite a lot of noise when turned on. The noise will depend on the power level of the extractor used - generally speaking the more powerful the fan, the louder it will be. Other factors such as the material used for the hood may also affect the noise level of your cooker hood.
Many hoods feature a low and high speed, with differing noise levels for each.
