Need ideas for range hood (Pics please)
Comments (5)Check out Nalcar's hood in the thread linked below (as well as the niches). It's a nothing hood. Barely there. Yours would have cabinets framing it a bit on the sides of course as Nalcar has all short cabs. Modern in that kitchen, but invisible in a traditional one, leaving room to do a fab backsplash. Now, you would need a really fabulous behind-the-range treatment if you decided to take the hood out of the decorating equation. Not sure I'd DO it, but it's something to consider along with all the other considerations. Here is a link that might be useful: some niches...See MoreRange & hood in front of window - great idea, or terrible idea?
Comments (19)You guys didn't scare me away, LOL! All very good advice, and definitely a lot of solid arguments I can bring to the designer and MSO and convince them to drop this idea. It's starting to sound like the sink & prep area should be in front of the window, and the range should be either on the side wall, or on a center island that would need to be built (yay, another thread topic). palimpsest, that's actually exactly what the folks on Houzz suggested - hang an island hood in front of it. Pic attached. northcarolina and cstr, I agree 100%, just wanted to get a 2nd opinion. livewireoak and glitterandguns, good points about the time spent on various activities - also something to bring up as a counter-argument. marcolo, that was pretty damn hilarious, thank you! :) :) :) remodelfla and kitchendetective, that was some pretty impressive "detective work"! I like the concept, but unfortunately there's just not enough space to set up something like that, and anyway, it looks like we'll be scrapping the whole range-in-front-of-window idea altogether. Problem solved, it seems. Thanks a lot, everyone, for your VERY useful commentary!...See MoreBest liner for range hood above a huge Wolf stove with grill?
Comments (11)After much research, I just ordered the Best by Broan liner for inside of my custom hood. Will order a Broan blower (either inline or exterior. Appliance salesman and contractor will work together to let me try inline first, and if it doesn't perform well enough, get the exterior.) Link to the liner is below. Best by Broan is Boran's upgraded line. This was a really important decision, so I would've paid anything. I looked at every high-end brand, and found that the Best by Broan was the only one that met my specific needs. I chose it because: 1) The option to attach to an inline (this goes in the attic) blower, or an exterior wall or roof mounted blower. These 2 blower options allow for quieter operation, and, especially in the case of the exterior blower, more CFMs for greater smoke capture and removal. 2) The size. 58"+ is 18" wider than our 36" Wolf with griddle. It might be overkill, but ours will be mounted higher than the ideal 30-36", and I wanted the extra width for capture. 3) The baffles. Easier to clean than mesh, like the look, and GWers explained that baffles are probably quieter than mesh. They also explained that the wider the baffled liner, the quieter, b/c the air can rush into more baffles at one time. This was another reason I chose the 58" width. 4) 4 fan speeds, 4-level lighting, lights and controls are well laid out, like the four 50w halogens. 5) The wall switch option. It's important to note, if you want a wall switch to operate your blower, that some brands either don't offer one, or the wall switch actually disables some functions (like multi-level lighting) once it's installed. This was the case with a basic Broan, which is why we chose instead the Best by Broan. 6) During decision time, the Broan/Best by Broan tech department was really helpful, knowledgable, and available. Good luck, and try posting in appliances, too. Those guys are incredibly knowledgable and helpful. Here is a link that might be useful: Best by Broan Liner...See MoreStove in corner and hood range question
Comments (12)Thanks, Suzanne! And I will add that it addressed the corner cabinet issue. I hated both my upper corner cab that had lots of inaccessible space and the wonky lower lazy Susan which never stayed balanced & where things got lost if they slipped behind the shelves. The plan opened up space for drawer stacks & a spice pullout just where I need them. A corner range may not be the right call for most kitchens but I would not dismiss the idea if it works....See MoreFori
