What Type of Cooker Hood is Best for Me?
There are a variety of different shapes and sizes of cooker hoods with a range of different types that are available for your cooker and kitchen. Cooker hoods are important for cleanliness as well as fire safety as they are able to collect grease deposits caused by open-oil cooking and improve ventilation in your kitchen. These systems are also great as some do not require a ventilation system such as an exit to the property to be installed as they use filtration systems to clear the air and clean your cooker and kitchen from unwanted grease. With regular cleaning and replacement of filtration systems - you can keep these systems clean with ease. You can also hire professional cleaners to clean your cooker hood - should you require this.

What Type of Cooker Hoods Are Available
There are a number of different cooker hoods that are available. We stock all of the major styles of cooker hoods and the names of the different cooker hoods are the following:
- Canopy Hoods
- Ceiling Hoods
- Chimney Hoods
- Downdraft Hoods
- Integrated Hoods
- Island Hoods
- Visor Hoods
What is a Canopy Cooker Hood?
A canopy hood is an extractor fan and light unit. It’s a great addition if you really want to enjoy the benefits of a cooker hood but don’t want to change the look and feel of your entire cooker area. Traditional chimney cooker hoods have a chimney whereas a canopy cooker does not. This means that the canopy cooker differs in the parts that are used and the visual look and feel of the canopy but the functions of extraction are the same.
What are Ceiling Cooker Hoods?
Ceiling cooker hoods are installed in the ceiling space and are great for integrated kitchens as well as kitchens that are looking to reduce the amount of space used by appliances. This type of cooker hood does require ducting in order to ventilate your kitchen.
What are Chimney Cooker Hoods?
As mentioned, chimney cooker hoods are very similar in function if not the same to canopy cooker hoods. The difference is that they use a chimney rather than a canopy which is probably the most classic and common design that you would think of when thinking about cooker hoods. They are great for larger cookers such as range cookers and offer great ventilation for larger cooker spaces.
What are Downdraft & Island Cooker Hoods?
Downdraft cooker hoods are very quiet in operation - so if your kitchen features as an entertainment space as well as a functioning cooking area - we highly recommend that you consider this type of cooker hood. These hoods are usually built into the cooker island. Island Cooker Hoods can be built into the bottom area of a cupboard.
What are Visor Cooker Hoods?
If you’re pushed for space then a visor cooker hood is the perfect choice for you. If you require a smaller-scale solution that keeps your kitchen looking the exact way that it looks before the installation of your cooker hood - then this is a great choice for you.
