Island hoods
Island hoods
Kitchen islands are becoming increasingly popular in private households. Not only do they offer additional storage space for kitchen appliances, you can now even integrate the hobs into this modern form of kitchen furnishings. Boiling water, steam, fat and smells are the logical consequences. So the problem had to be solved because wall-mounted extractor hoods were not possible. This is where the island hood comes into play.
With island hoods and kitchen islands, you should first pay attention to the space available. The rule of thumb for the size of a kitchen with a kitchen island is that the bigger the better. However, kitchen planners are now very good at integrating a kitchen island even in supposedly smaller kitchens. The important thing is that there should always be enough space for an island hood.
Advantages of island hoods
Each individual island hood is a circulating air extractor hood. This means that all fumes and odors from the pots and pans are not blown out into the open, but instead pass through a filter in the island hood. The advantage of a recirculating air island hood is that no heat energy is lost, especially in winter. However, you should note that the moisture remains in the room. In order to maintain a good indoor climate or prevent mold from forming, experts recommend that you ventilate briefly every now and then.
An important advantage for island hoods is the good lighting of the entire cooking area on the kitchen island. On the one hand, the surrounding light finds perfect access to the cooking area, and on the other hand, modern island hoods can illuminate the area below them well. The visual appeal of an island hood is striking, as it lies in the line of sight of most people. Therefore, island hoods are usually designed to match the rest of the kitchen.
Island hoods as room dividers
A kitchen island can stand like a counter or something similar between the kitchen and the living area. In order to allow the kitchen island to also function as a room divider, the island hood at a good height visually rounds off this concept. Thanks to their easy accessibility, island hoods are easy to clean – especially the filter.
