Wood Hood Liners

Did you know that we at Custom Range Hoods can supply canopy hood liners to accomodate the exact specs of YOUR wooden canopy - so for example if your standard wooden canopy opening on the underside is 12.25" by 34.38"(the space available for an insert) we can make a complete range hood liner for that custom space at the same price as our standard liners - this saves you the effort and added cost of having to source a liner as well as a powerpack - all of our units are complete and include include lights, blowers ranging from 400cfm up to 1400cfm, internal or external blowers, filters either stainless steel mesh or professional baffle style and variable speed controls. As you can see from the image this range hood liner is wall to wall - there is no open areas on any side(except the canopy hood body) that needs to be covered - why is this important you may ask:
  1. There are code requirements for exposed combustable material above open flames such as those from gas ranges.
  2. Exposed wooden surfaces very quickly accumulate grease and are difficult to clean.
  3. Typically where there is exposed wooden surfaces therefore a seperate stainless steel liner is required to bridge this exposed wood between the ventilation unit and the wooden canopy body.
