choose your width size

The width of the range hood is generally determined by the width of the stove. As a rule-of-thumb, if your stove is 30" wide, your range hood should be minimum 30" wide. For Island hoods, it is recommended to use hood 1 size larger.

30" Size

This is the most common size. Most single-family homes have 30" hoods installed.

Choose your hood type

There are several types of hoods. Which type you choose will depend on your installation needs and kitchen design.

CFM & Noise levels

600 CFM is the standard for most hoods. Anything more than 600 CFM will require 8" or 10" ducting. Smaller ducts that 6" will affect noise and suction significantly.

500 - 600 CFM

The standard for most hoods. Enough suction for most basic-moderate cooking.

Max noise between 4 - 6 sones
