Kitchen Ventilation

One of the most forgotten but most important aspects of a kitchen remodel is the proper ventilation.  It’s effect on your health, comfort and, most important, safety is tremendous.  The proper selection of a ventilation hood will address:

• Capture grease for safe removal

• Removal and Exhausting of naturally rising gases

• Less accumulation of particulates on surfaces throughout your home

Types of Kitchen Hood Ventilation Filtration Systems Include:

• Baffle
  • High Speed/ Higher Noise Level/Most Effective
  • Lower Speed/Lower Noise Level/ Less effective
• Mesh filter
  • Restrictive: The more grease collected, less effective removing gases
• Centrifuge – Centrifugal Filtration System
  • Grease Removed Centrifugally
