The Full Range: How Your Rangehood Can Transform Your Kitchen
Rangehoods are the unsung heroes of the kitchen. Dispelling unwanted odours, sucking up smoke and haze as well as lighting the food preparation area are just the beginning of what rangehoods bring to the kitchen. Ultimately, getting the right rangehood can be the difference between making your kitchen just a place to prepare food, or a place you want to spend time with your family and friends.
But not all rangehoods will work with all kitchens, which is why we’ve looked at the different styles NEFF has to offer, and how they can transform your kitchen.
Let’s start with the look
The rangehoods of the past were bulky, loud, and unattractive appliances. But NEFF rangehoods are the opposite – exuding style and flair while promoting cleanliness in your kitchen.
Our collection of rangehoods operate quietly and efficiently and come in a wide variety of designs to complement your kitchen. A unique rangehood can provide the perfect “wow” effect, elevating your room’s style without sacrificing functionality.
As a large feature at eye-height for most people, the rangehood will set the tone for the rest of the kitchen. So whatever the style of your kitchen is, the right rangehood will be a crucial part of achieving the look. For maximalists, NEFF 900mm wall-mounted canopy rangehoods are the premium choice for power and style.
With a front-facing digital display and slimline hood box, these stainless steel rangehoods are a statement, and that statement is: ‘I know what I’m doing’. But if subtlety is more your style, the NEFF integrated rangehood in stainless steel is sleek and seamless, perfect for the minimalist kitchen.
Light up your life
Lights are an underappreciated feature of a rangehood and can change the entire feel of your kitchen. If you prefer moodier kitchen lighting but don’t want to sacrifice the function of bright lighting over your food preparation area, then quality rangehood lighting might be the solution you need.
NEFF rangehood downlights, from the powerful 3 LED configuration of the wall-mounted models to the 2 LED configuration of the integrated and slide-out models, give more scope to how you can set up your kitchen lighting. Do away with white light in the kitchen – by using focused bright light on your food prep area, you can leave your kitchen lighting to set the mood.
Extreme extraction
Extraction is the main job of a rangehood, and if it’s performing well, you should forget it’s even there. It’s not until you have a bad rangehood that you notice it –haze that won’t clear, smoke that sets off the alarm, smells that linger in your house for days, not to mention the noise, which is sometimes enough to drive guests out of the kitchen altogether.
With high-performance extraction, NEFF undermount rangehoods deal with all the by-products of your kitchen creations, with minimal noise. On the contrary, NEFF rangehoods are quiet, with wall mounted models topping out at 55db, and slide-out models coming in at 67db at maximum operation.
The next step up from a rangehood in extraction is integrated ventilation in a cooktop, such as the NEFF vented induction cooktop. It is a two in one appliance. Perfect for the minimalist kitchen that is being designed for total appliance integration and island cooktops, with no overhead rangehood required.
Help to remove excess heat
While rangehoods are designed to provide ventilation to your kitchen, an added benefit is the removal of excess heat. When a rangehood removes smoke and steam from your kitchen, it also removes heat from the space.
As the fan sucks up steam, smoke, and hot air from your kitchen, it gets pushed out of your home through a duct or is recirculated into the space with a slight cooling effect. While a rangehood isn’t a replacement for air conditioning or a fan, it can help transform a steamy kitchen into a more comfortable cooking space.
Rangehoods are a good investment
If you’re trying to sell your home, it’s a good idea to make sure your kitchen is up to date. An attractive kitchen with modern appliances adds major resale value to your home, and choosing the right rangehood can make a big difference in the look and feel of your kitchen, meaning you’ll more than likely see a good return on this investment.
Too often perceived as an afterthought in kitchen design, the rangehood makes an impact in the kitchen in a powerful way, both in terms of design and function. Factor rangehood design into your kitchen build or renovation with NEFF.
