Cooker hoods are an essential appliance in any kitchen \u2014 extracting cooking smells and steam, and sometimes becoming a design feature in their own right. In this post we will explain and advise on how to choose the best cooker hood for your home.<\/p>\n
Hoods can either take the air from the room to the outside of the house through ducting \u2013 extraction \u2013 or clean the air and then return it to the room (recirculation). \u00a0 This will then determine where you can or can’t position it.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a range of design options to suit both room layout and styles. The main things you need to consider before you think about its appearance is the size and location of the hob, and whether you would like the cooker hood to be hidden or made into a feature of your kitchen.

Extraction noise can be quite loud, so another consideration to take in is the noise level of the fan.<\/p>\n
Larger rooms will require a higher capacity extractor and the faster the speed the more noisier it will be. Though higher-end models of Frecan do tend to be quieter across all power levels.<\/p>\n
It’s important to check a cooker hood’s product spec to establish the dB output.
\nThe noise does not exceed 55 dB.<\/p>\n
When picking the right cooker hood for your kitchen you need to consider the power required to remove the volume of ‘used’ air created during your cooking. Often overlooked, but can make a big difference to how well the cooker hood works in your kitchen. If your cooker hood does not have a high enough extraction rate for your kitchen size then you will find that it takes a long time to clear any bad smells, or even that they never really clear. In the specification of all cooker hoods it will have a m3 per hour number, this number shows the amount of air it processes per hour. We recommend that you purchase a cooker hood that will filter the air in your kitchen etween 12 and 15 times per hour.<\/p>\n
Also, it is very important to know that the channeling of the air produces a loss in the absorption capacity, so it is recommended to use the correct diameters, avoiding reductions and elbows. The following data can be used to calculate the loss:
\n– 1 meter of tube – reduction of: 10 m3 \/h.
\n– 1 90o elbow – reduction of: 50 m3 \/h.
\n– 1 45o elbow – reduction of: 15 m3 \/h
\n– 1 Nozzle – reduction of: 30 m3 \/h
\n(Indicative data depending on the tube diameter)<\/p>\n
