HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT RANGE HOOD FOR YOUR KITCHEN
WHAT SETTING YOUR RANGE HOOD WILL BE IN
Choose the finish of your range hood
Black or White Finishes
Indoor rated custom finishes
Timeless 430 Stainless Steel
Indoor rated low-maintenance material
Weather-resistant 304 Stainless Steel
Guaranteed to last longer outdoors than any other type of finish
HOW MANY CFM DO YOU NEED
There are two things to consider for determining the CFM
The heat coming from your range
And the Cooking Style
The heat coming from your range
| Gas Stove BTUs | Electric Stove Size | Minimum CFM |
|---|---|---|
| 60,000 | 30”, 36”, 42” | 600+ CFM |
| 80,000 | 48" | 800+ CFM |
| 100,000 | 54" | 1000+ CFM |
| 120,000 | 60" | 1200+ CFM |
And the Cooking Style
Ducted or ductless?
If your kitchen layout won’t allow for venting outdoors, then you will need a recirculating range hood.
Range hoods that convert to recirculating (ductless) require an additional accessory.
