Know very little about cooker hoods, but trying to learn fast.
It looks like the most powerful are always the chimney type. Thing is I can't vent either behind, or above. but I can to the side. So is there anything to stop me getting one and feeding the 'chimney' into the bottom of a cabinet and from there running ducting through cabinets to the outside world? The total horizontal run from the chimney to the exterior face of the wall would be 1750mm, in one straight run.
I know the chimneys are purely decorative and hopefully I can find one which is either telescopic, or I just trim it and feed it into the bottom of the cabinet, where my dodgy sheet metalwork will be hidden anyway.
Most of the freestanding ones have an air change of 200 m3/h whereas chimney ones are around 500 m3/h.
thanks.
