Possible Alternative to New, Too-Big Light In Dining Room
Comments (32)i like it and i think the 2nd of the last two might work with 10 ft ceilings...i think anything more than 40" would be too tall. there are 2 'tiered' chandys that are shorter and, imo something closer to 36" might look more in scale with a dining room... the 2 tiers tend to look 'grander' and provide more light... but of the last 2 you show, i think the 2nd would be better over your table!...See Morechairs too big for 60” round table
Comments (14)I would push chairs in as far as they comfortably go. I was just noticing that the seats are not completely under the table and still reach nearly to the center column. They may be extra deep as well as wide. That would also make the table seem smaller. I pulled up Wayfair to check chair sizes and they have several styles similar to what you have chosen but with an 18" width. You might want to look there if you want something similar to the wider ones....See MoreIs a 48" range too big for our space?
Comments (38)Well, reading this thread was an enjoyable interlude, although I'm not sure that there wasn't any schadenfreude hiding in my unconscious. As I don't have an iPhone to use to provide noise measurement consistency with @opaone's noise measurement request, all I can say about my 1500 nominal CFM system is that it certainly is noisier than my SubZero 632, or my Miele Optima (especially when it's broken), but not so noisy that one can't talk across or along it with a reasonably normal voice level. At 3 times the person-to-person distance (R^2 = 9), a TV source needs to be made louder to hear with the same clarity as when the hood system is off, if the listener is under the hood edge. @Indecisiveness: For both residential hoods and commercial hoods designed using the Greenheck method, air velocity is where its at. However, there is a significant difference between the values needed. In the case of the residential hood, which I have (Wolf Pro Island hood), there is a need to immediately entrain the rising effluent into the air flow passing into the baffle gaps. In the much taller commercial hood, there is a large air volume reservoir below (and often beside) the baffle assemblies that allows CFM averaging (I call it) over the baffle space. Due to height and shape, commercial hoods allow the effluent velocity to slow down. As a result, the necessary specific hood entry aperture air flow (ft/min or CFM/sq. ft.) can be lower for a given spillage threshold. See images. Lower air velocity means a less noisy hood system, and with care, a less noisy MUA system. Opaone's baffle gap air velocity should be lower than mine when dealing with the same effluent. The effluent path to his hood's baffles is likely 5 to 6 feet above the cooktop, whereas to mine it is about 3 to 4 ft (angled baffles). His hood is large enough to encompass the rising and expanding effluent at commercial hood height. All that is physically needed for a commercial grade system is sufficient kitchen ceiling height and a decent passage space to the outside for hood system and MUA system. Compromise to residential configurations is basically driven by architecture and aesthetics, if funding is sufficient. Spillage vs. no spillage from a griddle to a commercial hood; difference is specific air flow. (The image is showing schlieren photography heat imagery, not steam.)...See MoreIs this coffee table too big for the space
