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?
