Six advantages of using hood in the kitchen
Before we introduce the types of kitchen hoods, it is necessary to know the reasons and advantages of using a hood in the kitchen. There are six main reasons that encourage us to use a hood in the kitchen:
- تقریبا تمامی انواع هود آشپزخانه دارای چراغ و سیستم نوررسانی هستند که کار آشپزی و حفظ ایمنی هنگام آشپزی را برایمان سادهتر میکنند.
- استفاده از هود در آشپزخانه، حفظ پاکیزگی و نظافت را سادهتر میکند. اگر مجرایی برای خروج دود از آشپزخانه وجود نداشته باشد، دود پخش میشود و روی دیوارها مینشیند و تمیزکردن دیوارها و پیشخان کابینتها بهمراتب دشوارتر خواهد شد.
- خطر مسمومیت با گاز کربندیاکسید کمتر میشود.
- به کاهش دما و خنک نگهداشتن آشپزخانه کمک میشود. هود علاوه بر دود و ذرات ریز غذا، گرمای اضافی را هم خارج میکند.
- یکی از کاربردهای اصلی هود در آشپزخانه کمک به خارجکردن دود است. در این صورت، دیگر نگران روشنشدن بیمورد دستگاه هشداردهنده دود نخواهیم بود.
- حتی اگر خیلی اهل آشپزیکردن نباشید، داشتن هود در آشپزخانه ارزش ملک شما را بیشتر میکند.
Types of kitchen hood
Hood of the subcutaneous hood
Under-cabinet hoods are one of the most common and widely used types of kitchen hoods. Their purchase cost is relatively lower compared to other models and they are compatible with almost all types of kitchen interior decorations. The under-cabinet hood is connected above the gas stove and under the cabinet, and usually, its length is equal to the length of the gas stove so that it can take all the heat and smoke before reaching the cabinets and remove it from the kitchen environment.
Installing under-cabinet hoods is a relatively simple task.
Some models of these hoods have a more modern appearance. In some other models, the main focus has been on the use and function of the hood, and these models have a simpler and more normal appearance. Under-cabinet hoods are available in the market in two models, with ducts and without ducts. The first model ventilates the air in the kitchen and removes smoke and heat. Ductless under-cabinet hoods simply circulate air in the kitchen environment and absorb pollutants through the filter. Under-cabinet hoods with duct work better and more effectively, but compared to the second model, they are more expensive and more difficult to install.
Wall hood
In some kitchens, the gas stove is where there is no cabinet above it. In such a situation, it will not be possible to use the under-cabinet hood. This issue brings us to another type of kitchen hood, wall hoods.
The wall hood is also known as a fireplace hood, because its shape is very similar to a fireplace. These hoods are wider at the bottom (usually the same as the length of the gas stove) and the higher they go, the narrower they become. The price of wall-mounted hoods is higher compared to under-cabinet hoods. The wall hood is one of the main choices for those who do not have a cabinet above their stove in the kitchen.
Island hood
Island hood is one of the other types of kitchen hood and it is used for those whose gas stove is somewhere in the middle of the kitchen: where there is no wall or cabinet above the stove. The island hood, unlike the wall hood whose ventilation ducts are connected to the wall, is connected to the ventilation duct in the ceiling and in this way, it removes smoke, heat and odor from the kitchen environment.
The price of the island hood and its installation cost in comparison It has more to do with both of the previous ones, but what sets the island hood apart is its modern, very sleek look. Therefore, it is an ideal choice for those who care more about the appearance and decoration of their kitchen. In addition, if you have left the middle of the kitchen to install a gas stove in your new kitchen decoration, the island hood will be the most logical choice for you.
Hidden hood or built -in
The efficiency and functionality of the hidden or built-in hood is as good and effective as other types of kitchen hoods. This hood model is most suitable for those who want their kitchen decoration to be compatible with their aesthetic standards. These hoods, as their name implies, are hidden behind the cabinets and do not affect the appearance of the kitchen.
In terms of cost, the price of a hidden or built-in hood is suitable and economical.
Elevator Hood
Elevator hood is one of the other types of kitchen hood and its efficiency is less compared to other models. The elevator hood is placed somewhere on the cabinet counter, near the gas stove, and comes out only when in use; Otherwise, it goes back under the cabinets. This feature makes the elevator hood a suitable choice for those for whom the appearance of the kitchen is the main priority. It does the job with downward suction; It is much more difficult than the upward suction of air, and that is why the efficiency of the elevator hood is less and weaker compared to other models. An elevator will be the right choice for you. However, if you spend a lot of time in the kitchen and cook all the time, buying these hoods will not be the right choice for you, because their suction power and ventilation are low.
