60cm Chimney Hoods
Before you order a chimney hood
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Hood width | Match or exceed the hob width. 60cm over a 60cm hob is standard. |
| Ceiling height | The flue is sized for a standard ceiling. High rooms need a separate extension chimney. |
| Mounting height | The minimum height above the hob differs for gas and electric. Check headroom in low conversions. |
| Duct diameter | Match the existing duct. A reducer costs performance and adds noise. |
| Wall and finish | Check stud-wall fixings against the weight. Glass shows grease sooner than stainless. |
Ducted versus recirculating, extract rates for new-build sign-off and who replaces the filters in a let are covered on the main cooker hoods page.
Frequently asked questions
What width chimney hood do we need?
At least as wide as the hob. 60cm over a 60cm hob is standard; going to 90cm captures more at the edges if the layout allows.
Our ceilings are higher than standard. Will the flue reach?
Not always. Chimney hoods ship with a telescopic flue sized for a standard ceiling. Higher rooms usually need an extension chimney, ordered separately.
Stainless steel or glass?
Stainless steel is the more practical choice for rental and high-turnover property. Glass looks more current and suits higher-value kitchens, but shows grease sooner.
Fitting out several kitchens?
