Chimneys

Why Do You Need a Kitchen Chimney?

A kitchen chimney is not just an aesthetic addition, it is crucial to maintain a healthier and smoke-free cooking environment. Here are the key reasons why investing in a kitchen chimney is essential for every modern kitchen.

• Improved Air Quality: Cooking can release smoke, steam and various odours into the air, leading to poor indoor air quality. A kitchen chimney effectively captures and expels these pollutants, helping to maintain a fresher atmosphere.

• Enhanced Cooking Experience: Using a kitchen chimney allows for a more pleasant cooking experience. By efficiently removing smoke and odours, it prevents lingering smells that can permeate your home.

• Protection Against Grease Buildup: One of the often-overlooked benefits of a kitchen chimney is its ability to minimise grease accumulation. Grease from cooking can settle on cabinets, walls and other kitchen appliances, leading to unsightly stains and increased cleaning efforts. A chimney captures this grease, reducing maintenance tasks.

• Aesthetic Appeal: In addition to its functional benefits, a kitchen chimney adds a stylish focal point to your kitchen. With various designs and finishes available, you can choose a chimney that complements your kitchen decor.

• Long-Term Cost Savings: Investing in a high-quality kitchen chimney can lead to long-term savings. By improving air quality and reducing grease buildup, you will spend less on cleaning products and potentially avoid costly repairs due to accumulated grime.

Types of Kitchen Chimneys Available

When it comes to kitchen chimneys, there are several types to choose from, each designed to meet specific needs and preferences. Here is a closer look at four popular types of electric chimneys:

• Curved Chimneys:

Curved chimneys feature a sleek and modern design that enhances the aesthetics of any kitchen. The curved shape allows for better suction of smoke and fumes, as it provides a wider area for air intake. These chimneys typically come with high-quality glass and stainless-steel materials, making them both stylish and durable.

• Box Chimneys:

Box chimneys are a classic choice for many kitchens. Their straightforward, box-like design is versatile and can fit seamlessly into various kitchen layouts. These chimneys are preferred for their powerful suction capabilities, effectively removing smoke, odours and grease from the cooking area. They are often available in different sizes and finishes, allowing homeowners to select a model that complements the kitchen decor.

• Inclined Chimneys:

Inclined chimneys have a unique design that combines functionality with aesthetics. The inclined angle allows for efficient smoke extraction. It ensures that the electric chimney does not obstruct the view of the cooking area. This type is particularly popular in smaller kitchens where space is limited, as it provides a contemporary look without sacrificing performance.

• Island Chimneys:

Island chimneys are designed specifically for kitchens with a central cooking island. These chimneys are mounted directly above the cooking surface. They provide optimal extraction of smoke and odours from all sides. Their stylish and often bold designs serve as a focal point in the kitchen, adding a touch of luxury. These chimneys come in various shapes and sizes, including circular and rectangular options. They are equipped with powerful motors to ensure maximum suction efficiency. Island chimneys are perfect for modern kitchens that emphasise open spaces and aesthetics.

Key Factors to Consider When Buying a Kitchen Chimney

When selecting a kitchen chimney, it is important to ensure it fits both your functional requirements and your kitchen’s design. Here are the key factors to consider when buying a kitchen chimney:

• Suction Power: The suction power of a chimney refers to its ability to absorb smoke, oil and fumes from your cooking area. If your kitchen involves heavy frying and spice-laden cooking, a chimney with high suction power is essential. Look for chimneys with a suction capacity between 1000 m³/hr to 1500 m³/hr, depending on the size of your kitchen and cooking habits.

• Chimney Size: The chimney size should correspond with the size of your cooktop or stove. Chimneys typically come in two standard sizes: 60 cm and 90 cm. If you have a stove with two to four burners, a 60 cm chimney will suffice. For larger stoves with four or more burners, opt for a 90 cm chimney to ensure complete coverage and effective suction.

• Filter Type: The filter type plays a significant role in maintaining the efficiency of your chimney. The common types include:

• Baffle Filters: Suitable for kitchens that trap grease and oil effectively while allowing air to flow freely.

• Filterless Chimneys: These require less maintenance as they use advanced technology to remove smoke and fumes without needing traditional filters. Selecting the right filter type ensures better performance and lower maintenance costs over time.

• Noise Level: A kitchen chimney’s noise level can impact the overall cooking experience. While powerful suction is necessary, it should not be disruptive. Chimneys with silent motors or noise levels below 60 dB provide efficient operation without causing excessive disturbance in the kitchen.

• Auto-Clean Function: To maintain your chimney’s performance and reduce the hassle of manual cleaning, opt for chimneys with auto-clean features. This feature automatically removes oil and grease particles from the chimney’s interior. It ensures smooth operation and reduces maintenance frequency. Look for models with thermal auto-clean or Intelli Auto Clean functions for ease of use.

• Aesthetic Design: Your kitchen chimney should not only be functional but also complement the overall aesthetic of your kitchen. From sleek, minimalist designs to statement pieces like island chimneys, there are several designs to choose from. Crompton offer chimneys with stylish finishes, such as GrandArt, which adds a touch of elegance to any kitchen setting.

• Warranty and After-Sales Support: A reliable warranty is crucial when investing in a kitchen chimney. Look for chimneys with at least 1-2 years of product warranty and extended warranties on the motor. A robust after-sales service network ensures you get timely maintenance and support when needed.

• Budget and Price: When buying a kitchen chimney, consider your budget and cooking habits. Kitchen chimney prices vary widely based on features and performance. Set a budget that allows for essential functionalities like Auto Clean and high suction power.
