Ceiling Chimney
This model, as its name suggests, is installed on the ceiling, immediately above the hob.
It is perfect for kitchens with large islands, as it can be controlled remotely.
Island Chimney
Suspended from the ceiling, this model is interesting for those who care about design and aesthetics.

2. DIMENSIONS
The size of the extractor hood should be chosen according to the space available in your kitchen. If it is to be built into the unit, the extractor hood should be smaller than the unit.
To improve your experience, the extractor hood should be approximately as wide as the surface of the hob underneath.
3. POWER
During the selection process, to know the extraction capacity you need for correct ventilation in your kitchen, you must calculate the minimum and maximum extraction power.
To do this, you must make the following calculations:
- Measure the height, width and length of the kitchen, in meters
- Apply the following calculation to find the volume: Height x width x length = volume (m3)
- To find out the minimum extraction power: volume x 6 = minimum m3/h
- To know the maximum extraction power: volume x 12 = m3/h maximum
4. AIR CIRCULATION
Another point to take into account is the air renewal system.
When the kitchen has ventilation to the outside, you can opt for an extraction hood.
If the kitchen does not have a duct, or if it is far from the exit to the outside, you should choose an extractor fan that works with air recirculation.
In this case, the extractor fan renews the air through activated carbon filters. These filters clean the air of smoke and odors, returning it pleasant and fresh to the kitchen.
