I see a lot of kitchens with chimney cooker hoods these days, most are re circulating air.
has anyone had experience with fitting these types of hoods?
can you give me advice on how well they work without proper forced ventilation (seems silly to have a chimney design if you chuck the air out the side)
does anyone know the issues of venting these things (probably a 125mm hole in the external wall required) my hood's chimney would be approximately 1150mm from the interior of an external cavity (breeze block then brick) wall.
there is an air brick at around the correct height but Im not sure fitting the hose through this would be a great idea (as it may lose the standard/non forced ventilation my kitchen currently has)
would a second hole above the air brick be a mistake?
does the ducting usually run above ceiling/under first floor or is it OK to chuck it over the top of the wall unit next to the hood.
cheers in advance.
