Hello,
Should the duct for the range hood be built into the wall or installed later using a core drill? The site manager prefers to have it built in, while the kitchen installer suggests a core drill. The kitchen installer said that building it in was common in the past, but now core drilling is preferred to easily install backdraft dampers; otherwise, it will be more difficult! However, the second kitchen installer recommends building it in.
Does anyone have any advice?
Best regards

The second option (core drilling), which is a bit more expensive (about 150 €), seems personally cleaner to me. But the first option is to fix the pipe in place first and then build the wall around it. The question is, if you do it that way, can you later attach backflow preventers or grilles?

To me, what the kitchen specialist said also sounds illogical. So far, we have decided on a different kitchen installer. He said both options are possible, but the second one saves about 200 € (euros). That’s why I got a suitable pipe for it (a telescopic pipe with a diameter of 162 mm (6.4 inches)). A 150 mm (6 inch) pipe will fit in later.
I am still worried whether there will be enough space left between the roof of the utility room (behind the kitchen wall) and the roof overhang (bungalow)!
