The main advantage of downdraft hoods is the sleek design and space-saving opportunities that the unit has to offer. The hood retracts in and out of your worksurface when you need it- saving invaluable space and maintaining the contemporary and minimalist look in your kitchen or open plan area.
Downdraft hoods are installed behind a hob, reversing the direction of rising smoke and fumes to a downward direction.
The design of the unit lends itself perfectly to a kitchen island, although in traditional work surface settings, the extractor can sit close to the wall behind the hob.
