Good morning!
Now that we are working on the ceiling in the new kitchen, the topic of the range hood has become relevant.
So far, we have assumed we would install a ceiling-mounted hood. We do not want a downdraft extractor.
Due to the ceiling situation (wood beam ceiling; between the beams, there will be an approximately 15cm (6 inches) thick structure with thermal insulation and drywall; the lower 5cm (2 inches) of the beautiful old beams should remain visible), we have come across ceiling-mounted range hoods during our search. Such a ceiling-mounted hood would be ideal for the kitchen setup: the hood "disappears" between two beams; the exhaust duct can easily be routed past the beams into the adjacent pantry and from there outside. Because of the hood's height, there is no risk of bumping your head (cooks around 1.8m (5 ft 11 in) to just under 2m (6 ft 7 in) tall); visually, I also like this type of hood much better (also considering cleaning); and it should be no problem to place a canning pot next to the stove and still effectively extract the steam.
As a model, we could imagine something like the Quadra 100 WS EX, with LED glass and an external motor with 1150 m³/h (675 CFM).
Does anyone have experience with these ceiling-mounted range hoods?

The new Novy compact has an installation height of 19.5 cm (7.7 inches) including the motor and flat duct. The Quadra requires 14.1 cm (5.6 inches) – the beams are 23 cm (9 inches) thick, about 5 cm (2 inches) of which should remain visible – fits perfectly!
In the meantime, I have seen and heard such a ceiling hood in operation. Although it wasn’t the exact model I was looking at, the configuration was similar (ceiling height, exhaust duct, external motor in an adjacent room). I’m quite impressed! I think the decision for a ceiling hood is now clear. I also haven’t really come across any negative experiences online.

OOPS ... correction ... the hood vents directly into a flat duct ... okay, then it fits. You just need a good external motor, and I recommend considering supply air as well.

(Also, two window contacts will be connected since there will be a fireplace connection/stove in the kitchen.)
((planning used to be easier... you just found a nice cave and that was it!))
I have the Novy ceiling hood, and without supply air, it really doesn’t work well. I didn’t plan for it back then (over 8 years ago). Today, I would definitely include it. The supply air should also come from above. The extraction power of the range hood is tremendous, and in winter, an open window often causes drafts inside the house.
