Ceiling-mounted cooker hoods
Ceiling-mounted hoods fix straight to the ceiling with no cabinet housing, leaving the space above the hob clear.
What to check
- Ceiling structure — needs a load-bearing fixing — a suspended ceiling alone will not hold it.
- Duct — ducted models need a route through the ceiling, planned at build stage.
- Who it suits — islands, or kitchens without an upper run of cabinets.
- Width — over an island, wider than the hob — steam spreads in every direction.
