| Home - Cooker Hood -Chimney Hoods - Stainless Steel Cooker HoodsCooker Hood -Chimney Hoods - Stainless Steel Cooker Hoods.A well-designed and stylish cooker hood makes all the difference to a new kitchen. Choose from a variety of ranges including linear, chimney, integrated, telescopic, canopy, island, or the original conventional hoods to add that perfect finishing touch to kitchens of all styles.
Standard hood:
This is the cheapest type of hood, it is fixed to the wall, and is about four inches high, usually with a flip out glass visor on the front. As with all hoods, a standard hood can be ducted or re circulating
Chimney Hood and Island Hoods:
These are probably the most fashionable type of extractor at present, and there are a huge amount to choose from. As the name describes a chimney hood looks just like a chimney coming down from the ceiling. Again all chimney hoods can be ducted or re circulating, although the ducting is a flexible or rigid hose which is purchased separately and hidden inside the trunking of the cooker hood. With a chimney you can spend as much as a £1000.00 if you want o buy the best available, fortunately there are lots of really great hoods for under £200.00. For most people a basic chimney will have more than enough extraction power to cope with their needs, but for people who really use the kitchen to its full potential the extraction rate should be considered. As an example if you cook a lot of spicy dishes or fish, the last thing you need is for that smell to be circulating around your house as it can linger for days! So always check the rating for any extractor and if possible compare it to the one you are using at present so you have some idea of what to expect.
Integrated hood:
This is hidden away behind a furniture door, you would usually pull the door and the hood would be turned on automatically. This is the most unobtrusive method and luckily one of the cheapest too.
Canopy hood:
A canopy hood is hidden behind a static panel or canopy. These are ideal if you want to have an olde world look of a large chimney or canopy, some people place their cooker inside an old chimney breast and these are ideal to fit above.
Telescopic:
Slowly becoming more popular, these fit below a small cupboard and as the name suggests slide forward when in use. Do remember that the workings of the hood sit in the cupboard above. The front of these can be detachable so that you can get a matching door from your kitchen maker.
