Cooker Hoods

by Andrea
(UK)

We have just bought a 60cm wide built under cooker with a 75cm wide 5 burner hob. My question relates to the cooker hood.

The most common sizes for extractors are either 60cm (too narrow) and 90cm (too wide). I have found a handful of 80cm wide extractors but I'm not keen on any of them. I like a lot of the 90cm extractors but am worried that it will look too big.

If we do go for the 90cm then the three components (cooker, hob, extractor) will all be different widths. Has anyone experienced this and come up with a solution that carries it off?

Thanks

Don't worry

Hi Andrea

Personally, I don't think I would worry too much about that.

You definitely want to go for a larger rather than smaller, like you say... but I don't think it will matter that the 3 are different sizes.

They won't be right up against each other anyway, with a bit of work surface in between, and then the whole cooking space between the hob and extractor.

I think you will barely notice the size difference - 90cm to 75cm is 15cm - which is only 7.5cm either side - with such a gap between the 2 elements I don't think you would notice the size difference that much.

What does everyone else think?
