Integral to any kitchen, your range hood can serve more than a practical purpose, adding ambient lighting and contemporary style
The equally striking and efficient Snaidero “Way” Extractor Hood
The range hood is a key component of the everyday function of your kitchen. With cutting edge technology and huge advances in design, hoods can now be quieter, greener and more efficient. Contemporary styling gives these hoods a modern, arty feel. Some hoods retract and disappear altogether while others provide much needed ambient lighting.
