  • Doing works to my own house and am currently installing a kitchen extractor hood to an island. The ceiling is low(ish) and I am keen to get the hood as high as possible to avoid headbutting it every time I am using the hob. The hood has the option to be installed as re-circulating or ducted and we have ducted it directly to the outside.

    Am I correct in thinking that the vents circled below are for the re-circulating option and that with the hood ducted to the outside we can raise the hood as high as the outer sleeve will allow (453 + 46mm down from the ceiling). I know installing higher that the recommended height might not make the hood as efficient as it could be but it really is at prime head butting height. I have phoned Neff but they are as unhelpful as you would expect.

  • Doesn't anything sit behind those vents? And you're going to remove or bury into the ceiling?

    It don't know why that wouldn't work, seeing as they're essentially superficial to your uses.

  • I don't even have an extractor... sure you really need one? Kinda feel they are a hangover from the 70's when people cooked fried everything with all the fats.

    On a dif note... I want to put a ethernet cable through a wall... its only drywall so should be easy... do wall connectors exist for this kinda shenanigans?
