It is difficult to present a modern kitchen without such an important accessory as an exhaust. This device helps to keep the kitchen clean, and also eliminates the apartment from excess moisture and odors that extend during the cooking of dishes.
Today, the exhaust market is presented very widely from standard laconic products to models of designer design, which are complemented by the interior. If you want to familiarize yourself with the most popular manufacturers and models of hoods, go to the site "Alphabet of Technology", where you can find an exhaust for every taste.
Types of Extrazhkov
- Dome. The most popular and widespread type, proven over the years. Thanks to its considerable dimensions, they, as a rule, are equipped with powerful fans and filters and differ in high performance. Such a hood is ideal for those who daily prepare large volumes of dishes in the kitchen. Dome hoods are classic (wall) and island (ceiling).
Flat built-in. The ideal option for those who do not want to focus on the device itself. Flat hoods are embedded in kitchen furniture, while saving place in the kitchen and not standing out against the background of a common design. May be static and fully embedded or mobile with telescopic retractable housing.
T-shaped. Based on the name, it can be understood that such extracts are similar to the inverted letter T. They in some sense combine the characteristics of dome and flat embedded hoods. Excellent look in modern minimalist interiors.
Useful advice
Before buying an exhaust, analyze its design for ease of care. Depending on the volume and frequency of cooking, the product needs to be brushing from fat deposits on average 1 time in 1-2 months. Ask sellers consultants how easily the filters are filmed in the product and how practical they are in care. Also pay attention to the facade material. The most practical option is considered to be stainless steel. Glass looks spectacular, but requires careful circulation and use of special detergents so that there are no divorces.
If the extractor is equipped with lighting, ask how, if necessary, replace it and where you can purchase a suitable light bulb.
Power suction power is selected by the special formula, based on the volume of the room: in order to determine the power factor, multiply the kitchen area to the height of the ceilings. The resulting number multiply by 12 (air renewal coefficient) and 1.3.
