Please see the attached files, I'm needing some ideas and possibly some out of the box thinking.
This is a surround for an old range cooker in that house of my mate's that I'm rewiring. He's planning to put a range style cooker here but we need to think about extraction. At the top is a concrete lintel, 1620mm is the height of the opening, and there's some ducting in the corner as you can see - this is 150mm diameter, and although it can be cut to shorten, it would be a pain to remove and replace.
Originally we were going to build down a false layer to hold a hood, but given the new range would be 900m height this would bring the gap between cooker and hood to about 500mm. So the next idea was to fit a standard kitchen extractor unit (like a wall mounted one) to the current ducting, but I don't think it would be fit for purpose and would get splattered in grease. If we did go down this route however, I think LED tape would be up to the job of lighting the area in place of the lights built in to a typical hood.
So, any bright ideas anyone, extraction mainly.
