Choose from our range of slide outs, wall & ceiling units, power packs and downdrafts.

Rangehood and ventilation options

The layout of your kitchen will determine whether your rangehood can be mounted on a wall, incorporated into your cabinets, suspended from the ceiling or installed into your benchtop. Regardless of how often you cook meals, your rangehood helps filter out grease, smoke, moisture and odour. Choosing one based on your cooking style and the design of your kitchen is generally undertaken during the planning and design stage of the project. Here are some of the ventilation options Ikon currently has available:

Illumahood

Illumahood extractors are easy to install with no ducting required as they are recirculated. This also makes them ideal for hanging over island benches. With their stylish LED lighting, not only do they illuminate kitchens beautifully, but they are also very efficient extraction units. View our range of Illumahood extractors

Flow-in

The hob and hood integrated in one body enables a practical installation plus easy cleaning thanks to the detachable inner body

The angled panels maximise the extraction performance on both cooking zones and they hide the filter details to ensure minimal appearance. The integrated extraction  is a Hi -performance extraction system which quickly removes the fumes from your cooking surface

  • Cooking odours are suctioned directly downwards from the hob into the extractor hood
  • Not only for conventional kitchens, but also island units, where it may not be possible to install a traditional extractor hood.
  • Can be flush mounted into your worktop.
  • The hood is easy to remove and provides direct access to the stainless steel filter which means easy cleaning.

Downdrafts

Downdraft extractors are a perfect solution for kitchen layouts where you can’t duct up. Generally, these require a lot of room in the cabinetry below the unit for the motor unless purchasing a remote motor option. Also ideal for those who have windows behind their cooking space.

With a touch of a button, the extractor can be raised out of the benchtop when needed and provides a powerful extraction solution while creating a modern and uncluttered look.

Downdrafts are often perceived as less effective which is not the case as it depends entirely on where the downdraft is located in relation to the cooking. The most effective rangehoods on the market, in our opinion, are the ones where the downdraft is positioned in the middle of the cooking area as it has to work less to extract fumes being positioned right at the source. In comparison, a canopy rangehood or ceiling rangehood have to work a lot harder to extract steam and cooking vapours in which case most people increase speed which in return increases the noise.

Power packs

Power Packs are powerful built-in extractors that are installed directly into your cabinetry for a seamless, unassuming look. These are ideal when you want to ‘hide away’ the rangehood to create a streamlined look. Some models can be used with a remote motor to minimise noise.

Ceiling units

Installing your rangehood straight into your kitchen ceiling is a growing trend. With minimalism in mind, these type of rangehoods provide effective extraction power through targeted air extraction while taking up no additional kitchen space.

Some models can be used with a remote motor to minimise noise. Ceiling rangehoods are ideal for kitchen islands. These can be positioned up to three meters high, however, the higher you are from your cooking area, the less effective they are.

Ceiling rangehoods are currently one of the only viable options when you want a freestanding oven with cooktop with a window behind but don’t have enough wall cavity space for a canopy / wall unit. Make sure to always discuss your extraction options with your kitchen designer before purchasing.

Slide outs

Slide-out rangehoods are real space savers and a great option if you have a narrow or small kitchen as they sit neatly underneath a cupboard and can pulled out when needed to eliminate steam and odours.

Traditionally, these have had low extraction and made excessive noise, however we are seeing newer models on the market with higher extraction rates.

Canopy / Wall units

A canopy rangehood is a type of rangehood that forms a canopy over the cooktop and is usually made of stainless steel. These can be installed in the wall or can be installed into the ceiling. Our flues are designed to go to a maximum of 1.7m stud height.
