A rangehood extractor is an essential part of any kitchen. But have you ever considered a downdraft extractor?<\/h2>\n

No kitchen is complete without a rangehood extractor. But much less common is the downdraft, an extraction system that expels fumes \u201cdown\u201d through a duct, and can be installed much more discretely and with more versatility than a conventional overhead rangehood. Popular in the 1980\u2019s and 1990\u2019s, downdraft extractor systems are starting to make a comeback \u2013 Complete Home<\/a>\u00a0spoke to the team at BORA<\/a> on 5 reasons why you should start thinking about them too!<\/p>\n

1. Fresh Air<\/h3>\n

Steam and cooking fumes are often a part of the package when it comes to preparing food over a cooktop at home. And while usually these fumes are drawn away by a rangehood, any escaping fumes can linger for days as particles settle on furniture, curtains and other soft surfaces around the home.<\/p>\n

With a downdraft extraction system, fumes and grease particles are absorbed at the source \u2013 the cooktop. This means that there are less fumes, and less odours, in your home.<\/p>\n

2. A Clear View<\/h3>\n

Compared to an overhead rangehood, downdraft extractor systems allows for far more versatile installation, and allow complete freedom in an open-plan kitchen or when installing a cooktop on an island bench. Take advantage of the view outside your window by installing your cooktop in front \u2013 without having to worry about anything above. An open-plan kitchen design, without an overhead rangehood, can also make it easier for guests to socialise in your kitchen, and for you to interact as you cook.<\/p>\n

3. Versatility in design<\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve already mentioned how versatile installation of a downdraft extraction system can free up your kitchen \u2013 but just think about it! Your entire kitchen layout can change, you can install a cooktop almost anywhere, and allow for a truly open plan kitchen. Or, if you prefer, use the extra space above to install more overhead cabinetry and increase your kitchen storage space. Add sloping ceilings or full-length window facades to your design for a kitchen that\u2019s truly different. The possibilities are virtually endless!<\/p>\n

4. Silence<\/h3>\n

According to BORA, the average extractor hood has a sound level of over 70 decibels at head height \u2013 about the same noise level as a vacuum cleaner. This might not seem like a lot, but when added to all the other noises that fill the home, a quieter solution would always be a relief in comparison.<\/p>\n

A downdraft extraction system, located at the kitchen plinth level, is generally quieter than a steak being grilled \u2013 even at the highest setting.<\/p>\n

5. Easy to clean<\/h3>\n

An overhead rangehood is nearly always difficult to clean, and even then the results aren\u2019t always clear \u2013 there may still be dirt and grease lingering inside the unit. By contrast, a downdraft extractor system can usually be taken apart, at the countertop level, without any hassle.<\/p>\n
