why every kitchen needs a franke decorative hood Apart from offering an aesthetically pleasing complement to the oven and hob, a Franke extraction hood simply makes the kitchen a much more pleasant place. Cooking leads to a build-up of steam and vapour within the room. This can cause wet walls and furniture and leads to all sorts of problems – from peeling wallpaper to mould spots. Kitchen units and doors can also be affected as they absorb water and begin to stick. Even cooking oils can be vaporised and leave an unsightly oily film around the cooker and units. 4 There is also the problem...

Sound Insulation To assist in your choice of Franke hood we have used symbols as a guide to the relative noise level you may expect in a typical sized kitchen, where an optimum noise level of 55 decibels is ideal. Effective sound insulation is important in ensuring a calm, welcoming kitchen environment. Whether it’s sound dampening comfort panels in perimetric units or the silent kit cushions inside the central unit of other extractors, you can be sure of unrivalled noise reduction performance in all Franke hoods. 35 dBA A slight wind 45 dBA Library 55 dBA Ideal level 65 dBA Office 75 dBA...

which Franke hood is most suitable? Apart from the different stylistic options, the main factor determining choice of hood is the size of the kitchen. The hood must be powerful enough to change the air in the room 10 times an hour, when in operation. Z X 8 Y typical kitchen volume example: X = 4m Y = 4m Z = 2.5m To decide which hood to choose, first calculate the volume of the room. This figure can be arrived at by multiplying room length x width x height. So a kitchen that is 4 x 4 x 2.5 metres has a volume of 40 m3 (see diagram). This room volume figure is then further multiplied by 10 to...

the key tO sIlence Non turbulent air-flow Sound proof partitions The sound absorbent wedge limits air-flow turbulence Through extensive research and sophisticated fluid dynamic simulations, Franke has identified the major cause of noise in hoods. Spiralling airflows within the hood create vibrations in the hood body, which emanate as sound emissions. These airflows are eliminated by the Sil-K system, as its soundproofing partitions dramatically increase the sound absorbing properties within the hood - allowing you to enjoy the quiet life. Franke Silence Key (Sil-K) technology cancels out...
