KITCHEN RANGE & BBQ HOODS
Providing function for the kitchen, a hood over your range or stovetop can help to keep down the smoke and oil that fill up the kitchen. Kitchen hoods are also hold potential to add style to your kitchen as well as functionality. Having a custom hood built for your kitchen by Antebellum Roofing will ensure that you get the style that you want and it will fit into the space that you have available.
Materials and Construction
Hoods can be manufactured from many different types of metal materials. Depending on the application, they can also be made from thinner gauge material. The thickness of the metal depends on what type of support your hood is going to provide. If strength is a concern for you, the best metals to choose from would be stainless steel, or copper. If strength is not a concern, then your can choose most any metal you like.
Corners of the hood can be welded or soldered for a seamless look. Thinner metals will be soldered whereas thicker metal will need to be welded. The seams are then finished and polished to give a continuous look to the hood. If a more industrial or modern look is what you are going for, then you can chose to have fasteners installed for the panels. Bolts, rivets, bars or any other fastener you would like can be used to give detail to your hood.
The finish applied to the metal can change the look of the hood as well. Go for a flat dark finish if you are looking a more modern look. You can also pick polished metal to match other stainless steel appliances in your kitchen. If you are looking for a more rustic look, you can choose an aged copper finish.
Custom BBQ Hoods
Outdoor BBQs can generate a lot of smoke and heat. The old grilling saying goes “where there’s smoke, there’s flavor,” but that does not mean that everyone around the grill wants some “flavor” of their own. To keep the flavor in the meat and out of everywhere else, Antebellum Roofworks offers custom fume hoods tailored for your outdoor grill setup.
A custom hood can lend a professional look and function to your outdoor kitchen, especially with our high-quality raw materials and expert craftsmanship.
Why Get a BBQ Fume Hood?
Grilling, barbecuing and other types of outdoor cooking often employ high heat and flavor additives like cedar chips. These elements generate a lot of smoke coming off both the cooking materials and the item you are cooking. Plumes of smoke are unpleasant and can potentially cause cancer after repeated exposure.
Also, much of the smoke produced from grilling comes from the evaporated grease of the meat and oils used. Improper ventilation could lead these fumes to settle on your patio, awning or outdoor kitchen. The result is accumulated grease that is not only dirty and slippery, but that can also present a serious fire hazard.
A fume hood can prevent all of these problems, and they look great to boot. Nothing communicates that you are a professional at heart like commercial-grade equipment.
Give your outdoor cooking area nothing but the best with our custom-crafted BBQ hoods. We create all of our products from raw materials and install only commercial-grade fans and exhaust systems within them. We can also work the metal to create a particular effect that compliments your outdoor cooking setup’s look.
