Interesting information about Chimney cooker extractors by Caple

At Caples, there is no doubt that the cooker extractor hood has become a key staple for the kitchen. Really, it is no wonder as the kitchen has transformed to become an open-plan living space where cooking odours are no longer welcome. However, the latest models on the market are not just vital in terms of the functionality they offer. In fact, ultra-efficient extraction in the form of super stylish appliances has become one of the most important elements in kitchen design.

 So Caples asked their product manager, Luke Shipway, to reveal some key and interesting facts on chimney cooker hoods and some of the latest styles you could choose from. After all, this is one of the most common types of kitchen extraction fan.

You are likely to choose this chimney cooker extractor if your hob or range cooker is positioned against a wall. This style specifically features a hood or canopy, which ultimately sucks in cooking odours, some moisture and grease via an internal fan. These then travel up through the flue or chimney. However, what happens next will depend on whether you need a ducted or recirculating option. In an ideal world, Caple’s suggest that you consider ducting as it will direct extracted air outside. This way, cooking odours and bad smells will be expelled externally through a duct in your outside wall. You won’t need to pay to replace charcoal filters every six months, but you will need to consider the initial cost for the ducting and installation.

However, there are all sorts of reasons why this method may not work for you. If you live in a flat with neighbours on either side, for example, or plan to place your extractor on an inside wall. Also, you may want to place your cooker hood wherever you want it to be in your new kitchen. Therefore, your choice might be on an internal wall. So, if you are unable to place your chimney hood in a location where it can be ducted, you will need to ensure you choose a model, which is available with a recirculating option. This way, you’ll find the air passes through grease and carbon filters, which absorb cooking odours before returning fresh air to your kitchen.
