In the modern kitchen, there are many different options to reduce smoke and steam while cooking. What appliance do you use in your kitchen?
Thanks to the experience we have at Milani Cocina, we can suggest to our clients the best option according to their needs. and the space you have available. But what other factors are important to consider?
Two of the most common options are canopies and extractor hoods. Although they may appear similar at first glance, there are some important differences between these two systems.
In this blog, we will explore the operating characteristics and ideal situations for choosing between these two options.
First of all, It is important to understand what each system is and how it works. Canopies, also known as filter groups, are a system that is placed on the hob in the kitchen. They are designed to capture and filter the air generated while cooking, eliminating odors and grease from the environment.
On the other hand, uAn extractor hood is a system that is mounted on the wall above the hob. It is also designed to remove smoke, odors and grease from the environment, but it works differently than the canopy.
The main difference between canopies and extractor hoods is the mode of operation.
A canopy sucks the air from the kitchen through the active carbon filters and returns it clean to the environment. On the other hand, kitchen extractors They suck in air and expel it outside the house, eliminating odors and grease from the environment. This is why extractor hoods are called that, as they extract air from the kitchen.
Another important difference between a canopy and a extractor hood is efficiency.
Canopies are very effective at filtering odors and grease from the air. However, they are not as effective as extractor hoods in removing smoke. The Extractor hoods are very effective in removing smoke and odors from the kitchen. If you frequently cook dishes that generate a lot of smoke, an extractor hood would be a better option.
Another important factor to consider when choosing between a canopy and an extractor hood is noise. The canopies are generally quieter than extractor hoods, since they do not expel air outside. Extractor hoods are much noisier, since they must expel air outside through a duct. If noise is an issue, a canopy might be a better option.
In addition to these factors, you must also take into account the available space. A canopy is a good option if there is little space available in the kitchen, as it is placed over the hob. On the other hand, an extractor hood is a good option if you have space on the wall above the cooktop to mount it.
Regarding the cost, Canopies are usually cheaper than extractor hoods. In addition, canopies are easier to install, since they do not require ducts to expel air to the outside. On the other hand, extractor hoods are more expensive and require a more complex installation, since they must be connected to a duct that expels the air outside.
In summary, both the canopy and the extractor hood have their pros and cons. If you frequently cook dishes that generate a lot of smoke, a extractor hood would be a better option due to its greater effectiveness in removing smoke. However, if noise is a problem or if there are little space available in the kitchen, a canopy might be a better option. Additionally, if cost is an important factor, canopies are cheaper and easier to install than range hoods.
