Kitchen Remodel (contd.)


3) Range Hoods

Since our cooking range is going to be on the island, we had the option of downdraft system or Island/Peninsula hood/chimney. With the amount and style of cooking we do, the downdraft system would not have been so effective so we went with Island Chimney which will had a great look as well to the room. Island Chimney's are far more expensive that their regular (wall) counterparts.

During the research, we also found out that the chimneys which have glass in them, may look cool but over the years (2-3 yrs), the glass will absorb the grease and the edges will start to look a little dirty and dark/blackish. So, we went with a all stainless hood. There are still some choices, but not a whole lot for mounting on the island. Also, you need a chimney which is slightly wider than the gas stove since its an island.

A 36 inch wide chimney would work fine with 30 inch stove.

All the models below are:

- Stainless
- Atleast 36inch wide
