Wall Canopy Rangehoods
Wall canopy rangehoods are one of the most common and reliable choices for Australian kitchens. They mount directly to the wall without needing cabinetry to hide any internal components, which often makes them a standout visual feature when paired with the right design.
Benefits of wall canopy rangehoods:
• Excellent coverage over the cooktop, allowing the hood to capture more steam, smoke, and cooking fumes for stronger overall performance.
• A clean, stylish presence that can enhance the look of the kitchen rather than blend into it.
• Straightforward upgrade options in the future, as the unit can be replaced without modifying existing cabinetry.
Undermount Cabinet Rangehoods
Undermount cabinet rangehoods have become a favorite in modern kitchen design thanks to their ability to sit neatly within cabinetry, creating a clean, streamlined look. Because they are typically installed lower than wall-mounted canopies, positioning is extremely important. The unit should be installed as far forward as the cabinet depth allows to ensure it properly covers all burners on the cooktop, not just the front ones. This placement significantly improves extraction performance and overall efficiency.
Benefits of undermount rangehoods include:
• Seamless integration into kitchen cabinetry for a tidy, minimalist appearance.
• A wide range of styles, sizes, and performance options to suit different kitchen layouts.
