Why Buy a Kitchen Extractor Fan?
A kitchen extractor fan is the device that is usually found above the oven in the home and will typically be encased in a hood-like enclosure that will also include an overhead light for the oven as well. These fans help to remove the steam that comes from using the hob to cook food – and also heat that is extracted from the oven. It is especially useful in the warm summer months when it is already hot indoors. A kitchen extractor fan will pull the hot air from the oven out of the house so that the temperature will be much more comfortable.
A kitchen extractor fan will also help to remove any airborne grease particles, combustion products, excessive smoke, odours from food, and steam by not only evacuation but also by filtering the air. The kitchen extractor fan or extractor hood is made up of three main components. First of all, the capture panel that is used to contain the gases as they rise (this may also be known as the effluent plume). It also contains one or more grease filters and a fan. The hoods may be either ducted (vented) or ductless (recirculating).
Most kitchen extractor fan hoods will also contain some sort of lighting that will help to illuminate the stove’s surface, making the area much brighter and easier to cook on. These lights can be incandescent, fluorescent or halogen. You can also sometimes find matching accessories to go along with your kitchen extractor fan such as a grease backsplash panel, pot rack, shelves or dish racks. Theses days kitchen extractor fan hoods are available with various types of controls including remote controls that allow you to adjust the height of the hood and turn the device on or off. You can also find hoods that have delayed shut-off options, overheat protection and temperature display in most of the modern models.
You can find designer kitchen extractor fan hoods that will give your kitchen area a more modern look. They can be constructed out of a wide range of materials such as copper, bronze, steel, wood, aluminium, tempered glass, heat resistant plastics and brass. And the hoods can be formed into unique designs that look amazing and stylish while still being a very practical and useful item for your home. They can be in various sizes, typically smaller units are found in apartments while larger and more decorative styles are seen in larger homes. Many pre-furnished homes will already have a generalised kitchen extractor fan already installed above the stove area, but it is not difficult to replace the original hood with a new, designer product that you have purchased for yourself.
So why buy a kitchen extractor fan? Because it will not only help to keep your home cool while you are cooking but it will also get rid of harmful fumes or grease extractions that end up in the air often when we cook. They help to eliminate food odours from the home and also provide a great light source that comes in handy when you are cooking.
