One of the most forgotten but most important aspects of a kitchen remodel is the proper ventilation.  It’s effect on your health, comfort and, most important, safety is tremendous.  The proper selection of a ventilation hood will address:

  • Capture grease for safe removal
  • Removal and Exhausting of naturally rising gases
  • Less accumulation of particulates on surfaces throughout your home

Types of Kitchen Hood Ventilation Filtration Systems Include:

  • Baffle
    • High Speed/ Higher Noise Level/Most Effective
    • Lower Speed/Lower Noise Level/ Less effective
