| | | When you purchase or rent an old house, it is likely that the fumes outlet will be in a position that is wrong for the new kitchen plan. The above examples give you three possible solutions to conceal the hood hose that is usually considered unsightly. | | A - If a flat hose is used it can be camouflaged by a slim shelf. Valcucine does not recommend this hose because its has the disadvantage of being very noisy. B - If a normal-sized hose is used, it can be concealed by an overshelf with a raised front edge. | | C - Alternatively, a plasterboard beam or false ceiling can be built. N.B.: If you are renovating a house we suggest you widen the outlet to a diameter of at least 12cm or, if possible, to make one in the right position for the hood to avoid the need | | for a visible connecting run. Furthermore, great care must be paid to avoid using the exhaust pipe of the gas boiler or of the fireplace for the hood. | | |
