Ceiling hood: When should I choose it?
0 Ceiling hoods
The various hood models available in terms of features, looks and positioning makes choosing one even more difficult, with the risk of selecting a model that may not be the most suitable for your kitchen. The ceiling hood is a particular hood model, where piping, fan and most of the appliance as a whole are built into the ceiling. Its installation generally requires preparation of a false ceiling in plasterboard, or similar materials, in order to provide the necessary space to position the hood. Elica solutions are extremely compact in size, therefore smaller and simpler preparatory works are required.
A ceiling hood is preferable to other kitchen hood models when:
A ceiling hood is preferable to other kitchen hood models when:
- you are looking for minimal and elegant design, flowing with the rest of the room and discreet;
- you don’t want to weigh down a space with an island kitchen;
- the architectural layout and technical configurations make it possible to install this type of hood to transform an extraction system into a true design piece.
Ceiling hoods: how they work and which to choose
Ceiling hoods, just like other types of extraction systems, may be installed in two modes, based on the structure of the kitchen:
If equipped with specific technologies, such as Comfort Silence for Elica hoods, ceiling hoods can guarantee high extraction performance with very low noise levels.
Elica’s attention to detail and innovation has led to the implementation of the latest lighting systems in ceiling hoods: depending on the model, low energy-impact LED lights are used to provide maximum visibility during food prep and cooking, and thanks to the possibility of adjusting the LED color, you can create the perfect atmosphere in any moment of the day.
- Duct out mode, where the air, saturated with vapor and cooking condensation, is sucked in by the fan, filtered from greasy substances by the grease filter and removed towards the outside of the home through a specific duct;
- Filtering mode, where extracted air is first filtered from grease and, then is passed through special anti-odor structures, such as activated charcoal filters, to be then recirculated: an especially useful feature when it is not possible to expel air externally.
