We have a glass rangehood similar to Futuro Futuro's Acqualina Glass product and I love it. The top and bottom of the glass gets given a clean about once a week with citrus multi-purpose cleaning spray and then wiped down with a moistened glass cleaning cloth for a pristine finish. Takes around 5 minutes in total. Cleaning the brushed stainless part is more difficult. As mentioned previously, its hard to remove all the marks. Will definately try the WD40. Me, personally, I don't like the mirrored finish. Given the window is acting as the "splashback" I would have gone for something invisible like what Sheryl Horton showed.

I can't recall the reason, but I'm pretty sure ours had to have a little bend to fit also (position of something structural in the way perhaps?). We have a bulk head running along the top of the cabinets and across this section of the flue... It looks like this might work here too. The flue cover goes over the remaining 'straight' section.

Hello Tallitha For your question "How high can you mount a rangehood?" and "I can see minimum heights but not maximum" the minimum is related to Fire regulations and so there actually is no maximum. You can install a canopy hood higher than the standard 700mm if that is what you want. The problem with this are; two fold, One being the balance of aesthetics to the adjacent structures, which you can decide on how this looks for yourself. The second is the extraction efficiancy of a Hood / Canopy where the higher it is placed away from the source of the vapors, the more these vapors disperse beyond the cachment area of the the hood. How bad this extraction will be at any set height will then depend on how many cubic metres of air the extractor's fan you choose can move. Some Hoods extract as little as 420 cubic meters an hour (m3/hr). To compensate for the extra height you could consider for an example a hood like the Falmec Latina that can extract 1140 m3/hr or a model upto 2010 m3/hr when compared to say a standard canopy hood like the Robinhood RWC3CL9SS that moves 736 cubic meters. Though something like the Falmec Hood is still not the price you mentioned above, you can however expect that a hood with a higher capacity will cost more than one with a low capacity. I hope this information helps. Regards Malcolm

Yes we have an AEG one installed. I Love it. It was the only choice for us as it’s placed in front of a window. It works great takes all our cooking fumes away. You need to make sure you have space between your roof beams to fit it.
