Kitchen range hoods are not only practical, they are a valuable opportunity to make a statement in the kitchen!

A quality range hood is essential to any hardworking kitchen.   It performs several helpful tasks.

  • Insures proper ventilation
  • Traps grease to divert from cabinet and floor surfaces
  • Removes unpleasant odors
  • Reduces levels of smoke and steam
  • Creates a focal point in the kitchen

It’s important to determine the CFM (cubic feet per minute) required to move air based on your kitchen size and design.  Fortunately the designers at Geneva Cabinet are experts and will help with functional recommendations for this and all appliances.

Selecting a Range Hood Style

Once that is accomplished, the search is on for a style to suite you.  Keep it low key or create a showstopping moment, the choice is yours!
