Kitchen extraction systems today represent an impossible aspect to overlook when one is designing one of the beating hearts of the home, a place where creativity and passion meet to bring delicious food to life.
Indeed, every cooking enthusiast is aware of how food preparation inevitably generates odors, fumes and vapors that can compromise air quality and room hygiene.
For these very reasons, it is essential that your kitchen be equipped with an efficient and unobtrusive extraction system, thus ensuring a pleasant and healthy cooking experience, while preserving the livability of this environment.
Several types of effective extraction systems exist today, which allow you to keep the air clean and free of excessively intense odors: at SAG'80 you may find countless proposals signed by an industry leader such as Arclinea, and figure out which of them will best suit your needs, thanks to the support of a highly experienced team of consultants.
Let's have a look at the five key aspects to consider when choosing a kitchen ventilation system.
Importance of ventilation for kitchens
There are many reasons why a kitchen extractor that provides proper ventilation is essential. First and foremost, eliminating odors, fumes and greasy particles, means preventing the onset of allergies and respiratory tract irritations of those who live this environment.
The grease and moisture in poor-quality air can also damage your furniture and appliances, reducing their lifespan.
Finally, an efficient vacuum system will also help maintain an optimal temperature in the kitchen, reducing the power consumption of your air conditioning system.
How to choose a vacuum system for your kitchen
By visiting SAG'80 you will get to determine the ideal vacuum system for your Arclinea kitchen, after thorough consultation with a team of professionals who will help you evaluate the most important factors in this choice.
For instance, it is important to assess the available size and type, since domestic, professional or outdoor kitchens require different solutions in terms of power and functionality.
In addition to being efficient and functional, then, you must not forget that the vacuum system must integrate harmoniously with the overall kitchen design and surrounding furnishings.
Finally, you will need to figure out how to match your requirements with your budget, since the system's features, as well as the materials used to make it, will determine its cost.
Having made these initial assessments, all that will be left for you to do is to choose the type of extractor that best suits your needs. For example, you will find standard wall-mounted hoods, which offer a wide variety of design and practical features, or hoods integrated into furniture, should you prefer a more discreet aesthetic.
Among the more innovative solutions you may consider are hoodless systems, which can be integrated into the cooktop, wall cladding, or directly into the countertop, as well as systems that provide extraction from below, which offer an extremely clean look and are very effective.
5 elements of effective extraction systems
When purchasing a kitchen extractor, you should pay attention to the following features:
- Suction capacity: this indicates the amount of air the system is capable of extracting and is measured in cubic meters per hour;
- Noise level: a low-noise extractor ensures acoustic comfort while cooking;
- Filters: activated charcoal filters absorb odors, while electrostatic filters can trap greasy particles;
- Lighting: many extraction systems for kitchens have built-in lights that illuminate the cooking area, facilitating smooth operations;
- Design: the design of the vacuum system should be functional and aesthetically pleasing, blending in with the rest of your decor.
Performance and maintenance of kitchen extraction systems
Proper maintenance of kitchen extraction systems is essential to ensure their optimal performance and durability.
Operations that you shouldn't forget to carry out include regular cleaning of the suction filters, a periodic check of the functioning of the engine and, if present, the emptying of the grease container.
