Looking for custom modern range hood manufacturer

7 years ago

About to get started on our remodel and looking for an alternate range hood vendor. Originally, I was considering ModernAire, however, they don't really offer an
aged/patina black steel option. Most of the black colors are powder-coated. Any suggestions for another
vendor/fabricator? Attached photo would be the style I'm interested (including the backsplash) but in 36" wide. Thank you in advance!

I recommend you install a hood insert (available from various hood manufacturers, and have a custom enclosure built and clad with hot rolled black steel. You can purchase cold or hot rolled sheets of black steel (cut to size) here: http://www.metalsdepot.com/products/hrsteel2.phtml?page=sheet&LimAcc=%20&aident= and many other online vendors who will ship directly to your location.

Thank you and good suggestion! I actually have access to a
shop (family business) but it's located 2 hours from here and wasn't
sure if it would be more trouble for them than having a company who does this
full-time fabricate the unit. As I'm researching though, I'm going to
have to go the family route (and your suggestion) because the prices are
just too high otherwise. Thanks for the link and the nudge to take
advantage of what I already have access to!

Just to clarify, you have presented 3 versions. I believe the consensus is the original version with the wood grain ( linen grain) cabinetry works the best and is most updated. The only thing that is out of place are the cabinets or "shelves" on both sides of the range hood. If this is what you need to find a solution too. I would suggest only experimenting with rendering options for these two cabinets( or shelves). This cabinet ties in all the other hard surfaces. The white is not working. It just adds another element. The black is a little dated.

I think a comfortable distance between the island and the counter is around 42". It seems that you have only 30" between your cook top and the counter. I might be a little too tight. The wall between the entrance and the kitchen could be 4' long instead of 6', you would then be able to move the island a foot which would give you more room between the cook top and the island. Could you switch the location of the toilet and vanity in your dad's bathroom so your enter facing a vanity instead of a toilet which is a lot nicer.

Effectiveness is influenced by capacity of unit. If you are trying to mount a 270 cfm fan more than 30" above cooktop, then it may make noise but will do little to clear the air. If it is 1000 cfm, then it can be higher than 30". So the answer is "it depends". Most people don't mount them more than 36" above the cooktop unless it is a really high powered unit.

Did you talk to ModernAire or just look at their website? They were very helpful when I was considering them (but we decided to go a different direction in design). If you haven't called them and told them what you want I'd recommend you do so.

Stan Z, I did call them regarding the finishes. Sometimes it doesn't
hurt to call again and get another person on the phone :) I'm also
still looking into fabricating it ourselves as this seems to be a huge
cost savings.

Mclane - a company called Handcrafted Metal will do whatever you want in a hood. In the link I am providing, check out their finishes under "Zinc & Steel" or "Bronze" for a finish like the photo you provided, Sometimes their website has bugs in it, so if you can't see something, just give them a call.

I bought a custom sink from them and think it's great. Handcrafted Metal items are pricey, but they are custom, and you get what you pay for.
