Ducted range hoods (Extractor range hoods) offer the best performance by extracting the cooking fumes from the kitchen and expelling them to the outside via ducting. If you opt for a ducted range hood, your range hood installer will connect the ducting to the range hood vent outlet and direct the extracted air to the outside of the building. The diameter of the ducting can vary, but can be obtained from the product's detailed specification sheet. Ducting is purchased separately to the range hood.
Non-ducted or filter range hoods are designed for kitchens where there is no external vent or ducting. The range hood extracts cooking fumes and passes them through active charcoal filters, recirculating the cleansed air back into the room. |
