A range hood plays a vital role when cooking meals: it expels smoke, odours and air pollutants from the room. Depending on your kitchen layout, there\u2019s a wide variety of models to choose from. Here’s how we categorize our units.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Cabinet Insert Hood<\/strong><\/p>\n

Discreet and compact, this range hood model is designed to be concealed inside a kitchen cabinet. It can be wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted, usually above a central island.<\/p>\n

By covering the appliance with a decorative box, you can personalize its appearance. For a coordinated look, you could choose a kitchen cabinet that\u2019s identical to the others. Or, you could turn your range hood into a statement piece with a cover made of metal, rustic wood, decorative mouldings or other unusual finishes.<\/p>\n

Finally, this type of range hood tends to be slightly quieter, because its decorative casing helps dampen the noise.<\/p>\n

2. Ceiling Hood<\/strong><\/p>\n

This type of range hood is either suspended or ceiling-mounted. If your cooking surface is located on a central island, this is the hood model you need.<\/p>\n

Unlike a wall-mounted installation, a ceiling-mounted range hood is exposed to the ambient air from all four sides. It\u2019s also common for the unit to be installed at a greater height from the cooking surface, especially in the case of a ceiling-mounted model. For all these reasons, we usually recommend that you choose a more powerful appliance (as measured in cubic feet per minute, or CFM) to properly remove smoke, steam and grease from the air.<\/p>\n

3. Decorative Hood<\/strong><\/p>\n

This range hood is visible and combined with an exposed chimney, whether wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted.<\/p>\n

Although such range hoods come in all shapes and sizes, at Aroua, we favour a minimalist design with pure, timeless lines. No matter your style when renovating your kitchen, an elegant stainless steel hood will always blend in harmoniously with your decor.<\/p>\n
