I am just wondering has anyone installed a tleescopic island hood that comes up from the worktop rather than being overhead on a cooker.Is there any particular company who makes these. i saw something like it on about the house but i just cant find it now
cheers
well is it necessary to put one in.I have a vaulted ceiling with an island below it. The hob will go on the island. I dont want a hugs big tube hanging from the ceiling. Could i just not put one in. I have many openable windows and a velux above
You have a few options – some hob manufacturers have an extractor built into the hob; others produce a down-draught extractor. Most can be either vented or have charcoal filters. None of them work very well, and unless you could vent it to the exterior it would not be worth the trouble. Put a sink in the island and the hob next to the wall.;)

I know its against regulations but has any one seen hobs without extract fans. Cannot swap sink and hob as sink window has lovely views from it!!!
I think ill just do without an extract fan -anyway they are useless!
