... what type of hood do you want? ...

no joke, this is a cooker hood...

a very typical stainless steel cooker hood...

a japanese designed cooker hood...

very effective with its sirocco fan technology...

as a kitchen designer i would not plan a kitchen without a hood...

why? ...

steam created by the cooking process can cause unpleasant wet walls and furniture. it makes the kitchen a less pleasant place to be for both the cook and the family...

in extreme cases mould can form on decorations and kitchen units can be affected so much that doors jam and carcasses bulge as they absorb water...

wallpaper may peel away and the joints become obvious...

strong smells created by the cooking especially asian cooking can spread throughout the house, cooking oils may be vaporised when frying and this oil can be deposited in all areas around the cooker...

the decor suffers and redecorating is required sooner than should be necessary...

with so many properties having an opened concept kitchen, the need for a hood has never been greater...

for a better understanding on hood before you place an order, please find out more from your retailer or a kitchen specialist...

and i'm one of them... :)
