Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Nov 06, 2015 3:22 pm Hi All, I quickly need a couple of photos of OPEN overhead cupboards with a built in/slide out range hood. I can find plenty of examples with handles that indicate cupboards are behind, but nothing that actually show the cupboards open and the small cupboard behind. My builder has just come back and said they can't put overhead cupboards above it, and will only put a fixed panel in place. Oh and no credit either.

Don't have pictures, but what your builder is suggesting doesn't sound right at all. Essentially when you have a slide out or an integrated unit, the bottom 200mm or so will be filled by the range hood motor, then the exhaust pipe goes up through the cupboard. The pipe could be boxed in, or just the exposed pipe. They can be dead centre or off to the side. But still what is left of that cupboard is still very much usable. That said what model range hood are you planning on using? Re: Overhead Cupboards with built in rangehood 3Nov 07, 2015 6:55 am Hi we are getting ready to build too, and have added a cupboard above the rangehood, we had to upgrade the rangehood to do this. It is a slimmer slide out unit but it sounds like you've got a sliding unit. Don't have any photos though sorry If you are near a display home village maybe go for a walk through and see if any of them have done it. Our Build Thread - JG king Memphis Re: Overhead Cupboards with built in rangehood 4Nov 07, 2015 5:34 pm It really depends on which rangehood you have choosen?? Some rangehoods are quite small as mentioned above but some can take up an aweful lot of room. Remember there are single and double motor rangehoods. I have had a slide out rangehood that takes up almost the entire cabinet above.
