Hi all
We need to decide on what type of (recirculating) extraction we are having in the kitchen, we have had conflicting advice on this.
We are having an Island and we have 2.6m high ceilings
Initially, I wanted a flush fit ceiling hob but I was advised that the distance between the hood and the hob was going to be too much to be effective. Is this correct???
We do not want a bulkhead or a traditional island hood hanging down.
The next option was looking at a downdraft sitting directly behind the hob. We are having a gas hob and have been advised that the manufacturers will not warranty a downdraft if it is used with a hob as it draws the heat/flames towards it and over time will cause heat damage (this was advised by the kitchen company we are ordering our kitchen from)
We do have an MVHR system running in the kitchen too so there will be some consistent extraction going on.
