Wall mount range hood or under cabinet range hood?
Comments (5)If you look at the Modern-Aire site, they have several shapes where the front tapers at the top to the depth of an upper cabinet, and the sides are straight so as to butt up to, and cover, the yellow cabinet sides you mentioned. Their typical sizes are 18" and 30" high, but you could get a 24" custom one if your budget allows. Or you could get an 18" and have a box made for above it to cover that area and to which you could attach replacement moulding. The box could be made of either wood matching your moulding or sheetrock. Vent-a-hood has a stainless direct replacement if you decide to stick with the same size you now have. I'm attaching the link to the Modern-Aire page that shows their shapes. PS-10, PS-11, and PS-26 all have the characteristics I was talking about above. Here is a link that might be useful: Modern-Aire Hoods...See MoreOffset ducting from a Wall Hood
Comments (2)You should be able to buy the one you want and have the exit ducting modified to meet your needs. We had a similar problem with our hood. We were going to have to cut a ceiling joist to make it work. We weren't able to find an offset one. Instead, we went to a place nearby that makes duct work and had a new one made. You should be able to get a metal fab shop to make one. Ours cost $38....See MoreUpgrade under cabinet range hood to wall-mounted range hood
Comments (15)Hello Houzz Community! I found this thread when Googling a similar topic. I'd like to replace my under cabinet hood with a wall mounted hood, and yes I know I have to remove the cabinet above the current hood which I'm fine with (see photo). My existing under cabinet hood vents out the wall to the side of my house - see photo, and note the vent is not blocked by those shrubs, there is space around it, you just can't tell from the angle of the photo :-) So my question is....can a wall mounted hood be installed to vent out the existing vent in the wall, or does a vent need to be created in the ceiling? Also, what type of professional can help answer any related questions I have about this? Would I ask the wall mounted vent manufacturer? Or a handyman? Thank you in advance for any guidance! I am a newbie homeowner and am learning as I go, so truly appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge with me!...See Moreneed construction help!
Comments (12)I cut a new hole in my double-layer brick wall to install a new door, and it is not a job for the faint of heart. A concrete saw with a 14" blade works great, but its heavy and hard to handle on a vertical wall cut (much easier on a sidewalk or driveway). And don't forget - its also spinning at a rate that would take a huge chunk out of your hand, arm, or leg before you get it back in control. I would not use a concrete saw on this type of job. If its only a brick facade (one layer), for a hole of that size you could use an angle grinder with a masonry blade to cut out all the mortar (cutting from both sides because the blade is only about 4 1/2" diameter), and then pull out the bricks. Then you have to reassemble it all with the new hole in the right place, and use the right type and color of mortar so that the patch is not so evident. You also need a steel lintel to go across the top to hold up the row of bricks, although you may be able to use the one that is already there. The renovation contractor for my kitchen did it right and it looks good, but it was not a simple job. Bruce...See Moreartistsharonva
