The latest innovation in extraction hoods has revolutionised the humble hood as we know it. Featuring a streamlined design and under-counter installation, the downdraft hood saves wall space and maintains the clean lines of your kitchen. So if you are short on space, this nifty gadget could be just what you’re looking for.

Unlike traditional wall mounted hoods, the downdraft hood is installed directly into the worktop either behind or alongside the hob. When activated it rises out of the worktop beyond the height of the pans to extract odours and steam directly from the cooking area. Efficient and compact, downdrafts are ideal for smaller kitchens where worktop space is at a premium but are also perfect for kitchen islands, as their under-counter installation and sleek design won’t obscure the view across your kitchen.

Caple downdraft extraction hoods are cleverly designed so that they sit flush into the worktop surface and will only become visible when in use. At the touch of a button this space age gadget rises up from the countertop and can be stopped at any height up to 300mm. Available in black glass or stainless steel they are easy to operate and install. Housed within such close proximity to the hob, the unique perimetrical extraction system maximises motor efficiency and reduces noise. Combine this quiet, efficient extraction with their slender design and under-counter installation and you’ve got a range of downdraft hoods so discrete you won’t even know they’re there. Magic!
