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?

Fummelbrett!4 Oct 2019 11:15That already sounds great. At what height (distance above the cooktop) is it installed in your case? How is the cleaning process?
I have been using a ceiling-mounted range hood, Novy Pureline, for 8 years now, installed in a soffit at about 210 cm (83 inches) above a kitchen island positioned against the wall.
It is important to design the capture area of a ceiling-mounted range hood large enough to ensure that the hood can effectively capture the rising cooking fumes also from the sides through the perimeter extraction.

Fummelbrett!5 Oct 2019 15:36Thanks for the tip! I’ll go take a look then. I’m still pretty unfamiliar with the topic... what exactly is a Wrasenfangbereich?

borderpuschl8 Oct 2019 08:46We also have a Novy Purline. However, you cannot install the Novy with a connection to the exhaust duct in a 15cm (6 inch) space. Our installation height is 14cm (5.5 inches), but the connection is made from above through the ceiling.
