cooker extraction hoods.

[Cranfield]

I need to purchase a cooker extraction hood, the chimney type that extracts to the outside.

 

During my "research" I found information on the Internet, regarding the size of the fan required relating to the kitchen size.

Now I am about to make the purchase, I can't find the website again.

 

Does anyone know what the "formula" is ?

 

I don't want to get one too underpowered, but I also don't want something that is going to sound like a jet taking off and suck the tiles off the walls.

 

Any help, as usual, will be appreciated.

There's a formula here:

........unfortunately they all tend to be much noisier than a straightforward extractor fan, 50 - 60 decibels is quite normal, often much louder on full blast.

 

If you can fit one in somewhere an in-line induction fan is quieter and will almost certainly be more effective.

 

There's a good selection of various fans (and associated accessories) on the site with the calculator below.
