60 cm or 90cm extractor hood for gas hob?

paddy147

Whats best for a 5 ring gas hob?
The gas hob is 70cm wide
There is 100cm of wall space between the wall presses.

Is it a 60cm or a 90cm extractor hood then?

Thanks.

Hi Paddy,

I think the right option here will be the 90cm hood. That leaves just a nice amount of space between your wall units and the sides of the extractor. The 60cm will be lost in the space.

Make sure you check out all the specs of the different extractors before you buy, most importantly the efficiency and volume.

Personally, the 900mil one wil sit better with the kitchen, but will look a bit odd versus the hob.

Why did you go with a meter space and only get a 700 hob, could you not get a meter hob?

KevArno

I disagree Fingers, sorry! The 1000mm space is fairly normal. And the hood will look fine with the hob. 700mm wide for a 5 ring hob is again fairly standard. Once the result maintains symmetry then it will look well.

so 2 of you say 90cm
and 1 of you say 60cm

decisions decisions.

Most 5 ring gas hobs are in or around the 70cm width.

I really dont think the 60cm is an option to be honest. A larger extractor fan over a smaller hob is fine, but not the other way around.

It was got by my builder out in In House on the Long Mile Road.

I "think" it was around the 220 euro mark (including the charcoal filters) or there abouts.

Its actually being installed as I type this,so I,ll post a pic later on when the builder and carpenter have gone for the evening.;)
