Ducting

Ducting

Here at Naples we have a full range of kitchen ducting available in plastic, PVC and aluminium that can be used for cooker hood extraction and ventilation fan ducting. We also specialise in providing ventilation ducting for heat recovery systems.

Ducting is used to deliver to and remove air from appliances such as heating and ventilation systems. Often referred to as ductwork, these pipes are used to move air from one place to another without allowing the air to escape anywhere else during the process.

There are a variety of shapes and materials of ducting available as each type provides optimum performance for a particular usage, for example, rigid round ducting is the best choice when it comes to providing a better airflow. We also have available ready made ducting kits for cooker hoods and tumble dryers to make sure you have everything you will need to properly apply ductwork to your appliances.

Proper ducting is essential for the effective extraction of odours, steam, and airborne grease, creating a more pleasant and hygienic cooking space.

Choosing the right kitchen extractor fan ducting can significantly impact the performance of your cooker hood. At Naples UK, we offer a variety of ducting options, including round rigid ducting, which is known for its superior airflow and efficiency. This type of ducting minimises resistance, allowing your extractor fan to operate at its best, effectively removing unwanted elements from your kitchen air.

Our products cater for residential kitchens, accommodating various cooker hood specifications. For contemporary designer cooker hoods with high extraction rates, we recommend 125mm or 150mm round ducting to ensure optimal performance. We emphasise the importance of following installation guidelines and choosing the correct ducting size to prevent inefficiencies, noise issues, and potential voiding of warranties.

Ducting vs. Recirculating Kitchen Cooker Hoods: What You Need to Know

One common question we often receive is whether to duct or recirculate a kitchen cooker hood. While recirculating can help reduce odours, a properly ducted kitchen hood system is far more effective at extracting odours and reducing steam. Choosing the right kitchen ducting is crucial, given the variety of options available. The most efficient choice is round rigid kitchen ducting, as it provides superior airflow, however rectangular ducting is an extremely popular choice.

In modern kitchens, contemporary designer cooker hoods are becoming increasingly popular. These hoods typically have high extraction rates and require either 125mm or 150mm round kitchen ducting to operate efficiently. While rectangular flat channel kitchen ducting offers an alternative aesthetic option, it is not as efficient as round ducting.

When planning your installation, follow these simple guidelines: survey the space to determine the shortest possible ducting run to an outside wall and minimise bends. Always refer to your cooker hood’s installation instructions for the correct ducting size. Reducing the ducting size below the recommended dimensions can lead to inefficient operation, increased noise, and may even void your warranty.
