Installation Insights: Ceiling, Wall, and Island Mounting Tips

Installing a range hood requires more than just hanging it above the stove. At RangeHoodMaster, we guide our clients through the nuances of ceiling, wall, and island installations to ensure optimal performance and aesthetics.

For wall-mounted hoods, proper clearance from the cooktop is crucial. Technicians recommend 30–36 inches from the stove surface to the hood bottom for most kitchens. This distance ensures effective smoke capture without obstructing the view or workspace.

Ceiling or island-mounted hoods require precise alignment and ventilation adjustments. Our inserts can accommodate up to 50 feet of ductwork, giving you flexibility in connecting vertical and horizontal ducts. The blower placement is often best determined in consultation with your contractor to suit your kitchen's layout.
