Elica give you the choice between wall mounted cooker hoods, island hoods and built- in hoods. Elica cooker hoods are recognisably elegant and efficient. The type of cooker hood best suited to you will depend upon the size of your kitchen and your aesthetic preferences. Beautiful cooker hoods by Elica include Gold Stream, Grace, Isolobella, Legend Special Product, Menhir, OM, Ola, Oxygen, Platinum- the list goes on. What is great about Elica cooker hoods is that they are so different from one another.

It would definitely be possible to choose Elica cooker hoods and design your units around it. But at the same time, a hood could quite easily be seen as the finishing touch to any home whether traditional or contemporary. Most kitchens these days are not designed without a cooker hood i the same way that they would not be designed without a refrigerator. Elica and extractors are now viewed as a necessity rather than a luxury.

You need an extractor because your kitchen gets stuffy or you can’t seem to budge those lingering odours that can hang around. Basically, cooking produces steam, which can cause your walls and furniture to become wet. In addition to nasty lingering smells, in extreme cases the moistness created by the steam can cause mould in your walls and in your door frames and in really drastic cases, the water absorption can cause doors to jam and wallpaper to peel off your walls- but that is an extreme case. At the very least, if you do not have some sort of extractor fan you are probably living with unpleasant smells ad stuffiness. Elica cooker hoods extract almost all of the steam and strong cooking odours. Most modern cooker hoods, and certainly the ones from Elica, are very quiet and not disturbing in any way.

As well as the more traditional Elica models, Elica have produced some really eye catching designs that add real sophistication to a house and become a conversation point as well as a vital appliance. For example, Elica’s Black Sream model is a ceiling or wall mounted design and is surrounded by a black ripple- effect case. The soft curves of this design are warming and are a contrast from the very stiff straight lines that you will often come across when searching for a cooker hood. In complete contrast from the Black Stream model, Cube Light is exactly what it says on the tin- a cube of light. This ultra modern cooker hood would look fantastic in minimalist surroundings and is wall mounted. The Cube Light Elica looks clean and contemporary and is a very popular model.
