Power, Grace and Subtlety: The Kitchen Hoods and Special Ventilators from Gaggenau. The right hood makes a big difference in any kitchen, but the stakes are particularly high in open plan accomodation: with no walls or doors to keep cooking steam and smoke out of eating and living areas, a highly effective hood is essential. And sine no walls means nothing to hide behind, the hood must also be quiet in operation and inoffensive to the eye. Gaggenau comprehensive range of ventilators includes smart island models, wall mounted versions and discreet downdraft systems - a solution for every situation. Every Gaggenau hood combines power, grace and unobtrusive operation in an appliance of timeless design and extraordinary quality.
