How to make a cooker hood in the kitchen with your own hands

With the appearance of this important element in the kitchen, many housewives have many problems at once. And now almost no cook can do without a hood in the kitchen. This is just an indispensable thing for many.

Now there is such a huge selection of this product that your eyes run wild. When purchasing this much-needed product, you often face the problem of installing it in the kitchen. After all, it often happens that it does not fit in size, or does not correspond to the design at all. Even worse, if you decide to change the interior in the kitchen, and the previously purchased hood no longer fits into the general background at all.

But there is a way out - you can build a hood with your own hands. Of course, this is not an easy matter, but the main thing is to approach this issue correctly and rationally and then everything will work out.

So, how to make a comfortable, beautiful and correct hood with your own hands

1. To do this amazing thing correctly, first familiarize yourself with the principles of its operation. Believe me, in the future it will be easier for you to understand how to build it correctly. After all, there are two types of hoods: dome type, i.e. passive. They do not have ventilation motors inside and work to remove air solely due to updraft; or active hoods, which are equipped with electric motors. They work clearly and stably, but require a lot of electricity.

2. Then, carefully measure everything and purchase all the necessary materials.
3. It is very important to decide on the location of the hood. In no case should the size of the hood be smaller than that of the stove.
4. Be sure to consider an important point regarding grounding. Electrical safety is paramount. Since the hood is an element that collects various oils and fats, the issue of safe wiring placement must be considered very responsibly.

1. Next, you will need to decide on the method of air extraction: just outside or into a ventilation pipe. Here, depending on the choice of method, your amount of work will be determined.
2. When installing the structure you have made, consider all the points. The correct level must be set. The hood should be installed clearly above the stove without any indentation.
3. After the structure is fixed, you can start attaching the air duct. To do this, you can use both corrugation and a rigid plastic box.
4. You will need to fix the pipe on both sides: on the hood side and on the ventilation side. After attaching the duct, to create a beautiful appearance for it, use a decorative box to close it. Or you can use other means to decorate the pipe.

Clean air in the kitchen

That's it - the hood is ready.

The construction of this structure is not an easy task, but with a great desire - feasible.
