Diameter of the Range Hood Ductwork
One of the most important factors to consider while selecting a range hood is the diameter of your ductwork. This diameter will need to fit your unique kitchen installation needs. In most cases, the diameter of the ductwork is usually around 4 inches, and this implies that this diameter is considered ideal for typical installation tasks. Be that as it may, you can go for a diameter that is slightly smaller than the recommended 4 inches depending on the exact installation needs of your kitchen.
There are several recommendations for the diameter of a range hood, and these recommendations are meant to enable you to have a rough idea in terms of what should be the appropriate diameter for your ductwork. The ultimate diameter should be determined by the size of your vent hood CFM.

Length of the Ductwork

The overall length of the ductwork will to a large extent determine how effective the installation will be at getting rid of exhaust gases from the kitchen.
There are several general guidelines that should guide you on the length of your metal or wood range hoods. First one being that shorter ductwork is better longer. This is because shorter ductwork is more effective when it comes to getting rid of exhaust gases from the kitchen. Second, straight ductwork is recommended.

Type of Wood or Metal Used
An important thing to consider when it comes to selecting the best metal or wood range hoods is the type of material used in the overall construction of the structure. It is important to ensure that the material is indeed appealing enough since it is the most visible aspect of the installation. When it comes to wood range hoods, the best wood types to use include hard maple, red oak or cherry. These materials feature a classy look when subjected to the right finish, thus serving to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your kitchen area.
When it comes to metal range hoods, you might consider using appropriate metal types such as the zinc range hoods that are quite popular in the market.
