Island Range Hoods

Complement Your Kitchen Island with a Beautiful Island Range Hood

An island with a cooktop is a great addition to any kitchen, but you’ll need an island range hood to collect smoke and odours. This is especially important as fumes can more freely circulate from a stove in the middle of your kitchen vs. against the wall. Island hoods are available in both ductless and ducted formats. In a ducted range hood, the island hood fan ventilates the air directly outside, but you may have to cut into your ceiling to install the ductwork. For this reason, some homeowners prefer a ductless range hood or a convertible range hood. The latter gives you the option of installing now in a ductless configuration and converting to ducted down the road.

Due to its central position an island kitchen hood will often become the focal point of your kitchen. Stainless steel models offer a sleek appearance that will blend with any kitchen décor. A curved glass overhang adds a touch of style and extends the air collection area beyond the range hood vent. Look for a ceiling-mounted range hood with a telescopic flue so you can adjust it to the optimal height for your kitchen.
