How much cfm do you need for your cooking equipment


What type of ventilation is required for your coking equipment? In order to determine the proper amount of air flow required for your cooking equipment, you must first know how many BTU’s (British thermal units) your gas range emits. Then, with a simple calculation you can determine the amount of CFM (cubic feet per minute) required to properly exhaust your cooktop. For example if your cooktop emits 90,000 BTU’s you would divide 90,000 BTU’s ÷ 100 = 900 CFM. This means that 900 CFM or more would efficiently exhaust your range. For electric and induction cooktops choose a blower with a minimum of 200 CFM per 12 inches of cooktop width. Remember, it’s always a good idea to round up versus down.

Metal Finishes for Range Hoods

Custom Range Hoods offers a choice of stainless steel, copper and bronze for their hoods. These metals can then be further processed with hammering, brushed finish, polishing, antiquing and the current market favourite oil rubbed bronze. Modern Aire and Custom Range Hoods uses the highest quality 14 gauge metal for their hoods versus most other hoods that are typiclally 18 gauge or thinner. We do not for instance stamp our hammered finish which can only be done with thinner metals but we actually hand beat the hammered finish. This thicker metal ensures a far more rigid structure which contributes to our hoods being quieter through less vibration and resonance. Please follow this link to see the respective metal finishes - Metal Finishes.

We are also able to offer an almost endless choice of powder coat colors as per the RAL color chart system.

On the left is an example of how Custom Range Hoods can match colors to other appliances or even cabinetry and also integrate a finished metal. Here the blue powder coated hood has a trim finish with #4 brushed 304 stainless steel lip and bands.
