Hello helpful people,
I am planning a kitchen renovation. Our cooktop will gas, and I know that there has to be at least 650cm between the benchtop and the rangehood.
However, my preferred splashback tile arrangement would mean that the distance would be 720cm. My kitchen man says that this is too high, because:
a) the cupboards above would end up being very small; but by my calculations, they would be 51cm tall, which seems ok to me.
Any opinions?
b) the rangehood would not be very effective at that height. The rangehood is an Arc:

Does anyone know if this is true?
