Dome hoods

Kitchen hoods are present in almost every modern apartment, because they are an essential component of the cleanliness and safety of the kitchen. Depending on the shape and size of your kitchen, as well as the location of the plate and ventilation holes in it, you can purchase one of the three types of hoods.

Suspended flat hoods are attached to the bottom of the kitchen cabinet, which hangs over the stove. These models are the simplest and, accordingly, cheap.

Built-in hoods usually have a sliding screen, which significantly increases the area of ​​the working surface of the hood. This type of kitchen appliances is more compact and has a better price / quality ratio.

Dome chimney hoods are more cumbersome, but they perform their functions better than others, providing fresh air in your kitchen. And they are more diverse in design. For example, there are domed hoods with glass and with wood, rectangular, trapezoidal and semicircular shapes, and so on. Let's look at the questions related to kitchen dome hoods in more detail.

Dimensions of the dome hood for the kitchen vary from 50 to 110 cm. When choosing a hood, remember the dimensions of your plate or hob. The surface of the chosen dome hood should not coincide with the surface of the slab, especially if it is a hood with glass. Otherwise, the glass surface will very quickly become contaminated.

The control systems of the hoods can also be different - push-button, touch, on the remote, etc.

Dome hoods are the most expensive among all, they stand in the range of 400-2000 cu. The specific price depends on the power of the hood, the method of controlling the device and the "promotion" of the brand.

Installation of a classical domed hood for kitchen

Dome hoods are mounted directly above the stove (above the central part). Therefore, it is necessary to provide in advance the presence of a free place for the hood. It is also important that there is a socket nearby, as these models have an exhaust ventilation system and must be connected to the mains.

So, the hood is usually attached to the wall. For this, screws and dowels are used (they can be included in the kit). Also you will need a tape measure, a punch and a level. To begin with, mark the wall, outline the points where holes will be drilled, do all the necessary manipulations, and then hang and fix the hood on the screws.

After mounting the dome hood itself, you must connect the exhaust duct with the ventilation duct with the air duct. Also it is necessary to install filters: usually dome models are equipped with both carbon and grease filters.
