Kitchen Island Extractor Or Ceiling Hood?
Kitchen Island Extractor Vs Ceiling Hood
If you’re lucky enough to have a kitchen island in your new kitchen, the problem of picking the best cooker hood will rear its head.
Traditionally a hood will come down from the ceiling and stop about 750mm above your hob. Bizarrely the price of an island extractor is much higher than the equivalent wall hood. Yes, the hood needs to be finished all the way round, but the mark up seems unfair as the motor and internal parts will be the same.
Then you have the issue of the island hood limiting vision. You’ve gone to the trouble of a beautiful hob on your new island and wanted to open up the space in your new kitchen only to find that when you’re cooking on the hob, all you can see is the hood directly in front of you with the noisy motor inches from your face.
Some manufacturers offer designer hoods in cubes and spheres, but these are generally recirculating and don’t offer any kind of decent power. Sure, they look great but be careful as you’ve got a large open space you need to take this into account when picking a powerful enough island extractor.

We are a big fan of the Luxair range of ceiling hoods. They offer plenty of power and come in slimline versions now to make installation even easier in almost any kitchen.
Most homes are able to install them flush into the existing ceiling, but even if you can’t fit the body between your joists, you can install them in a dropdown box of only 10 cm
The motors of the Luxair Celux, Gealux, Delux, Anzi and Tolvi hoods will fit between your joists. The body of the hood is only 7cm, so by creating a frame on your ceiling to hold the hood (it’s a simple suspended clip system) it will drop down only 10cm. This completely removes the problem of the intrusive island hood being in the way, opening up the views in your new kitchen. Also, the motor of the hood will be boxed in the ceiling, so the noise levels dramatically improve also. We’ve seen some nice feature false ceilings as well. Some designers have mirrored the shape of the island (after all you won’t be walking under it) and incorporated some pretty edge lighting around it with the slimline ceiling hood fitted flush into the false ceiling.

Mock up of the new slimline Delux ceiling hood with a drop down box finished to match the ceiling. The motor is installed between the joists so the box only needs to cover the size of the body. A grandiose installation of the Jupiter by Luxair. The false ceiling has the same footprint as the Kitchen island but with feature lighting as well.

Although it may require a little more planning and labour to make it work, the trade-off can be magnificent and we think worth thinking about if you were originally thinking of a standard island extractor.
Our best-selling range is the Luxair Celux Ceiling Hood, but if you want a little more ‘oomph’, the premium range luxair Anzi and LED light up Luxair Tolvi offer that little bit more.

Phoenix have spent over three decades working with customers to develop our whirlpool systems and provide simple cleaning and maintenance solutions. This prevents some of the common problems people have found with other whirlpool systems. The unique V-Jet system that we have designed ensures that the bath is fully drained every time, and the Phoenix Dry-Run Pump Protection prevents the system running without water. All Phoenix airpools feature jets which are made from low profile chrome-plated solid brass. These are attractive and robust and are also fitted with a non-return valve which minimises water flow back into the pipes below the bath and prevents water sitting unseen while the bath isn’t used. You can also control your experience with our variable three-speed airpool blowers, which allow you to switch from a soothing ripple to a more invigorating blast.

How about a bath screen that goes all around your bath?
If you’re anything like us, your family will take significantly more showers than baths. If you aren’t lucky enough to have a separate shower, you’ll be taking them in the bath tub. Bath screens are great, but very often don’t protect against all the excess water and splashing that still ends up on the floor. You may be interested in the overbath sliding door shower screen we offer. Instead of just screening off a portion of the bath, it completely encloses the whole bath protecting the floors and walls from splashes and water damage. The sliding door mechanism gives a generous 68cm opening, big enough to get in and out with ease. If your bath is installed between 2 walls, you just need the main screen which installs wall to wall. The over bath screen has some clever fine adjustments so it will fit any bath installation type. (some baths have tiles over the edge so the actual size for installation will be slightly smaller than the original bath size) If you have 2 sides exposed on the bath, you simply add the side screen option, again with fine adjustments so it will fit no problem. This means you can incorporate it into a new bathroom with no problems, but it also can be retrofitted to existing baths. If you’re sick of your current screen not working properly or it has become mouldy and you can’t get the seal parts anymore, this is worthy of consideration. The over bath screen comes in two sizes 1700mm and 1800mm (170cm and 180cm) and the panels are available in 700mm, 750mm, 800mm. This means the system will fit the following size baths (simply add the optional side panel to fit your bath size) 1700 x 700mm1800 x 700mm 1700 x 750mm1800 x 750mm 1700 x 800mm1800 x 800mm Click the link to go to the product page, the options and alternatives can be found under the price area. https://www.modernlivingdirect.co.uk/Online-Store/product-details/Luxury-8mm-Overbath-Single-Sliding-Door,-170cm-SE301
