Copper Range Hood Buying Guide

Some Thoughts on Style
Often range hood is used only as kitchen appliances, not as kitchen decorations. In such a case, copper range hoods make a more subtle statement while the right hood style for your kitchen takes the starring role.

The copper range hood can be the jewelry of the kitchen, an important appliance to help with your everyday cooking tasks. To help narrow down your choice from the seemingly infinite range of SINDA, here’s a guide to choosing the right copper range hood for your kitchen.

Range Hood Mounting Options
First of all, you need to consider the layout of your kitchen. Then choose a right mounting option for your kitchen.

• Under cabinet range hood - They are mounter to the underside of a cabinet situated above your range.
• Wall mount range hood - This type is mounted to the wall above. This is the right option for if there is no cabinets set above your range.
• Island mount range hood - This type of range hood mounting style is the best way to ventilate your kitchen if you have an island cook-top. They are mounted to the ceiling above your island.

Size Guide

We recommended copper range hood should be 30"- 36" above cooktop and copper hood width should be the same width of cooktop or up to 6" large. 

Here's picture showing you how to choose the right size.

Before purchasing copper range hood make sure you measure the space.

Power
If you do a lot of cooking, you should have a fan that offers a good amount of power to take in the unwanted smoke and odors.

The basic rule of thumb that you need 100CFM for every 10” of stove/ cooktop width, so if your stove/cooktop is 36” then you will need at least 300 CFM:
36”/10” wide stove x 100 = 360 CFM

There are some factors that may lead you to want have a range hood with a higher CFM.
When island mount range hood for your kitchen,a range hood with higher CFM is recommended since there is no wall or backdrop near the cooking area to funnel the smoke and air.

Ventilation



• Internal motor remove the cooking odors into the open air in exterior of the home. This ventilation more effective than ductless ones, but they are more complex to install and costly in the upfront.
• Ductess is a closed system that remove as much of the cooking odors as possible with the help of filters. And this system need to replace recirculating filters regularly to ensure the hood performs well.
• A remote blower is an insert fan system that puts the motor in the attic instead of in the range hood. The advantage of a remote blower is it is quieter than an insert fan located inside a range hood.
