About Rangehoods products

A rangehood is one of those kitchen appliances you don’t really think about, sitting discreetly above your cooktop and oven. But it’s one that makes a big difference in a home or commercial kitchen. Rangehoods maintain the air quality and keep the surfaces less greasy by extracting grime before it settles. ArchiPro has put together the best selection of rangehoods in Australia, so you can find the perfect one to meet your needs. Built in rangehoods keep the appliance within the joinery, while a round rangehood changes the form above the cooktop. Rangehoods products on ArchiPro include canopy and undermount models for different kitchen layouts.

A rangehood makes all the difference to a domestic or commercial kitchen, extracting the smoke, unwanted pollutants, steam and odours caused by cooking, protecting your kitchen surfaces, air quality and appliances. ArchiPro features only the best rangehoods in  Australia from reputable brands and trusted suppliers.

Canopy rangehoods

Canopy-shaped models cover the entire cooktop area from above, hence its name. Modelled on those found in professional kitchens, they are a solid and reliable choice. A curved rangehood follows a rounded front profile and can suit kitchens where the appliance remains visible above the cooktop.

Undermount rangehoods

This is installed inside the kitchen cabinet and is unobtrusive. A discreet model to consider and one that is becoming increasingly popular in Australia.

Fixed rangehoods

Fixed rangehoods generally cover the entire stove area and are permanently mounted to the wall.

Slide out rangehoods

Slide out rangehoods are also known as retractable rangehoods. They’re usually mounted beneath cupboards and the fan and light come on automatically when it’s extended.

Tilt rangehoods

These are erected between cupboards and have a front panel that tilts open.

Downdraft ventilation rangehoods

These are installed beside or behind the stovetop. They draw in gases and push them down, and out of a duct.

A ceiling rangehood is suited to an island cooktop where there is no wall or overhead cabinet for a conventional unit. An in bench rangehood is integrated into the benchtop beside the cooktop.

The advantages of high quality rangehoods

A high quality rangehood improves the overall look and functionality of your kitchen, extracting steam, smoke, odours and other things that can impact air quality and surface cleanliness. It works efficiently if maintained well, looks stylish and modern, and lasts for years, alongside your other appliances. Investing in quality always pays off with a well-made, durable appliance that performs well and requires few repairs. 

How to choose a rangehood that’s right for you

Apart from your preferred look, you should also choose a suitable mode that meets your practical needs. In a ducted mode, steam and odours are driven outside. It’s more efficient but more expensive than other types of rangehoods and isn’t suitable for apartments. In recirculation mode, airflow circulates back inside the kitchen after passing through carbon or charcoal filters. This deals with odours and grease but the moisture eventually returns to the kitchen. The filters for these rangehoods need quarterly replacement. With this in mind, it’s important to know how much maintenance and upkeep is required for a rangehood before making your final decision.

Are rangehoods compulsory?

Under the Healthy Home Standards in Australia, rental properties must have an extractor fan vented to the outside unless the property meets an exemption. Rangehoods installed after 1 July 2019 also must have a minimum diameter (including ducting) of 150 mm or an exhaust capacity of at least 50 litres per second.

Do rangehoods need to be ducted?

You can choose ducted mode or recirculating mode. Ducted mode is more efficient though the air it vents must be ducted outside. It’s illegal to duct into the ceiling cavity. 

What is a good extraction rate for a rangehood?

Extraction rates are measured in m3/hour, where higher rates extract more air from your kitchen. If you do a lot of cooking, particularly using frying pans or woks, a good rate is 700 m3/hour.

How quiet should a rangehood be?

Some models or features reduce noise. A rangehood with fewer speed settings may be noisier as the extraction goes up in larger increments. Installing rigid ducting may also reduce noise. A remote motor option is also quieter as the motor is positioned somewhere other than where the fan is extracting the air.
