Kitchen Range Venting

Posted by Ray / in category cooking and kitchen

Cooking causes grease, steam, odours and other pollutants to be spread throughout your house. This is why it is absolutely necessary to have a high-performance range hood. Cooking and dishwashing produce about one pint of water in the air per meal. This is a problem because moisture can aggravate allergies and trigger asthma attacks due to biological contaminants such as dust mites , fungi, and cockroaches that all like moist, humid conditions. There are a number of ways to achieve and improve the ventilation of your kitchen. One of the best ways is to use a range hood above your cooking worktop.

Venting your range hood to the outside helps it remove as much smoke, cooking odor and heat as possible. Be sure to use solid, smooth-walled metal ducting, choosing the largest size that fits your hood and inside your wall. Venting capacity is usually given in cubic meters per hour; that is the number of cubic meters of air that can be moved under ideal conditions. Conditions are rarely ideal of course, which means that you should usually go for the highest capacity you can, especially if you have a long run or bends or both.
