Under-cabinet hood — practicality first
1An under-cabinet hood is the hood mounted under the upper cabinet directly above the stove. Its advantages: practical for small kitchens, makes use of the space (the cabinet stays above it), easy installation, simple service, and cheaper than island and wall hoods.
2The types: standard under-cabinet (usually 60cm), slide-out that extends and retracts for use (telescopic), and insert hood that fully integrates into the cabinet (built-in style).
3At BuiltInFix, our under-cabinet hood technicians are trained to remove the unit from under the cabinet without damaging the cabinet itself, and we have parts for common models.
