Before you order an integrated hood
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Wall unit | Measure internally: width, depth and height. A 60cm hood needs a 60cm cabinet. |
| Outlet position | Check it against the duct route. Expect to lose the shelf above to ducting. |
| Hood width | Match or exceed the hob. Going one size wider helps a recessed unit. |
| Duct diameter | Match the existing duct. A reducer costs performance and adds noise. |
| Filter checks | Filters sit behind a door and get forgotten. Add them to the changeover list. |
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 is the difference between integrated and canopy hoods?
They overlap. Integrated hoods are built into a cabinet, usually behind a door. Canopy hoods sit inside a chimney breast or canopy with the underside exposed.
Do integrated hoods extract as well as chimney hoods?
Like for like, a recessed unit captures a little less because it sits further back and behind a door. In a high-turnover let, a chimney hood tends to get used properly more often.
Are they harder to maintain?
Slightly. The filters are behind a door and easier to forget, so put filter checks on your changeover list.
