When it comes to purchasing a new cooker hood, you first have to choose between a ventilated (ducted) or recycling (ductless) hood. You then have to decide design of cooker hood as they vary in shapes and structure, which can create a different look and feel of your kitchen.<\/p>\n

Main Aspects to Consider When Choosing Cooker Hood: Your Kitchen Design<\/h2>\n

There are various types of cooker hoods to choose from, with the chimney and slanted hoods being the most common in Malaysia. While most people assume that they are suitable for all kinds of kitchen design, there are certain aspects that beg to differ.<\/p>\n

Ceiling Height in Your Kitchen<\/h3>\n

The height of your kitchen ceiling matters. If you have a low ceiling in your kitchen, a slanted hood is more suitable than a chimney hood because it has a better angle to absorb the cooking fume, as they draw air up from an inclined degree. Meanwhile, a chimney cooker hood is more suitable for high ceilings, as the chimney requires more ceiling space to install.<\/p>\n

Amount of Available Space for Your Cooker Hood<\/h3>\n

Before installing your kitchen cabinets, you need to allocate space for your cooker hood and cooktop. This ensures that your cooker hood can fit nicely into the space allotted and there won’t be unsightly gaps or challenges in installing it.<\/p>\n
