Out of all the rooms in the house, the kitchen can be modified the most. There are several additions and changes that you can make here. Changing the flooring and cabinets helps transform the way it looks. High-tech appliances like a smart refrigerator improve functionality.
Another helpful addition is a vent. Let’s talk about Ceiling-Mounted Recessed Kitchen Vents.
What Is A Ceiling-Mounted Recessed Vent?
This is the type of vent that is hidden from the view, unlike its counterparts. As the name suggests, we mount it on the ceiling, preferably above the stove. It is sleek and comes in many sizes and finishes. Some models have the feature of controlling the vents wirelessly via a remote or even your smartphone.
These were highly popular in Europe for a long time before making way to the rest of the world. The next question that often pops up is, “Why would one need it?”
The Need
A vent in a kitchen is essential. It helps circulate air and pushes out the fumes made when cooking. The vents have one opening inside the kitchen and the other towards the outside of the house.
The kitchens that cannot have a window opt for this. The ones that have windows that can open fit this to improve the existing circulation. Other vents drop from the ceiling and look odd. These fit seamlessly to the surface.
Advantages
Ease Of Cooking
Cooking is easier with a recessed vent to support you. Without an outlet, the fumes hover over the stove, eventually filling the kitchen with a foul smell. Some fumes cause irritation in the eyes, causing them to water. These vents can handle normal cooking and light frying. However, we won’t advise commercial cooking under it as it may not handle that much smoke.
Compatibility
This is extremely versatile and can fit on almost all types of ceilings. It has a base module and stainless steel sidelines. These look great with the rest of the kitchen. Having this above a kitchen island leaves enough space for other fixtures like kitchen island lighting.
Effectiveness
For maximum effectiveness, place the vents directly over the designated area for cooking. The size of the vent needs to be 4-8 inches larger than the cooking area. For instance, if the cooktop is 32 inches, the size of the vent above it should be between 36 and 40 inches.
Disadvantages
Prioritizing Style
There is no debate that these look better than electric chimneys that end up taking lots of space. However, sometimes, being close to the cooktop allows them to do the job better. The potency of ceiling vents decreases if the distance between the cooktop and ceiling is too much. We can correct this using a false ceiling to reduce the gap.
Fails Against Multiple Cooking Stations
If a kitchen has over one area for cooking, there should be multiple vents to support it. These many modules will be costly.
Now that you know both sides of the coin, you can suggest these recessed vents to the customers whose kitchen can benefit from this. Here is some white kitchen remodel ideas for a more stylish kitchen.
