Quiet yet powerful

Open-plan layouts are a feature of most modern homes. But together with the mouth-watering sight of dinner being cooked comes the drone of the rangehood. Fortunately, there are ways to ensure an extractor keeps your kitchen clean and also quiet.

Smooth-Air Products presents a range of standard and custom options to help clients achieve a kitchen with less smell, less steam and markedly less noise, says national sales and marketing manager Vince Atkinson.

"We don't build the rangehood shell; instead we offer custom extractor inserts to a high level of specification," Atkinson says. "These are designed with powerful fans set in the ceiling, or on exterior walls, out of earshot from your living spaces. The systems can be configured to any shape including a cupboard giving architects and homeowners broad design options."

Smooth-Air Products also upgrades existing hoods, inserting quieter, more efficient mechanical elements. Standard inserts for flatpack kitchens are available. "Our ultimate goal is to create near-silent fresh-air solutions for any contemporary interior," says Atkinson.
