The focus of today's Faber blog is a beautiful and very stylish kitchen design by Roost Interior Design of Ashville, North Carolina. Leslie Huntley of Roost Interior Design describes the kitchen design and how Faber fits into the kitchen:

"The homeowners (who are avid cooks) picked the Faber hood because it had the correct capacity to pair with their gas range. We all liked the look of the hood (we were mixing traditional and contemporary in the space so it fit right in). The homeowners do a lot of research on which appliances are the best for busy kitchens, so the fact that they chose a faber means a lot!"

We definitely agree with Leslie and the homeowners that the Stilo Isola matches up well in this transitional design with modern white, sleek cabinetry and the traditional wood flooring. The bold red island plus the stainless masterpiece above it stands out in this kitchen and gives the kitchen a focal point and a "pop". The Stilo Isola hood fan with 600 cfm Pro blower, advanced controls and baffle filters are able to stand up and take the heat from the pro gas stove below.  For more information on Faber hoods visit our website and visit Roost Interior Design to see more of Leslie's designs. Special thanks to Matt Rose Photography

Faber Cristal HC Slide Out hood in Designer Kitchen

This weeks designer spotlight features Kevin Karst Design from Toronto in this stunning kitchen featuring the Cristal HC Slide Out hood by Faber.

Cristal HC by Faber in a Design by Kevin Karst

 This kitchen features high end stainless appliances and a Faber Cristal HC with an aluminum front installed. The designer comments on why he chose this hood by Faber:

“This hood subdued appearance preserves clean simple contemporary cabinet lines without compromising functionality.  I didn’t want the hood to visually compete with the beautiful fiddle-back figure of the English Figured Sycamore cabinet fronts.  I like the idea that it leaps into life only when needed.” - Kevin Karst


We couldn't have said it better! The Cristal HC is meant to integrate into your design and not become the focal point in the kitchen. When you are ready to cook simply pull the visor on the Cristal to reveal a second set of grease filters for a total of 4 filters and 19" of front to back coverage over the cooking surface. If the on/off switches on the lighting and motor are switched to "ON", then once the slider is pulled the range hood turns on and the lights come on. When you are finished cooking, simply slide the visor back in to shut the hood off. 

The beauty of the Cristal HC is how versatile the product is. In the box comes a black, white and brushed aluminum (as seen in the photo above) front strip. The hood can also accept a wood cabinet front so the hood can completely integrate into the kitchen design. With top or direct rear venting, 500 cfm motor and dishwasher safe grease filters, this slide out has the right features for your kitchen. 


For more information on this hood you can visit the product spec webpage.

Stilo rangehood with sleek lines and a thin profile

The Stilo rangehood by Faber with sleek lines, nice curves and a thin profile make this hood the ultimate focal point in your modern kitchen designs. As seen here in a photo provided by the folks at Aeg Canada and Euro-line Appliance, is a great example of a modern kitchen and the effect a beautiful hood can have on the rooms atmosphere. The Stilo comes in 4 widths, 24,30,36 and 48" wide to accommodate many sizes of cooking surfaces. Remember in order to keep the right lines in your kitchen, matching up the same width stove with the same width rangehood is important. You should never undersize the hood to the stove (24" hood to 30" stove). Over sizing the hood to the stove isn't wrong, sometimes it will throw off a design.

With 600 cfm of air movement, heavy duty baffle style grease filters and halogen lighting; the Stilo will provide excellent ventilation to fit the customers needs. One more deisgn element in this kitchen, notice how the sleekness of the cooktop matches the hoods sleekness? Even the tone of kitchen colors, is custom made for a stainless rangehood like the Stilo.

Matrix rangehood - contemporary art on your kitchen wall

The Matrix hood by Faber is a piece of ventilation art for your kitchen. In this stunning red kitchen designed by Dekla Kitchen Cabinets in Toronto with clean lines and glass upper cabinets, the a rangehood by Faber perfectly compliments this kitchen. The Matrix fits very well in this installation with a square smooth top stove and the simple elegance of the four ventilation panels on the Matrix above it. With perimetric suction for advanced ventilation performance, a gallery halogen light bar, and several automatic shut off timers - the Matrix is loaded with features. In addition, the Matrix has a 24 hour mode - where the hood turns on for 10 minutes every hour and acts as a quiet operating whole home air purifier. This is certainly a green idea, but what else would you expect from the leader in green ventilation? For more information visit the Faber website.

Faber Inca HC - the hood insert with power and versatility

The Inca HC by Faber is featured in this stunning kitchen in Miami inside of the stainless steel insert on the left side of the picture above the stove(second picture shows a closeup). When your kitchen design calls for an insert / built in hood to go inside your custom wood creation, the Inca HC is the perfect hood. With stainless steel on the bottom of the hood it matches up perfectly with the stainless "cabinet" in this very modern kitchen. With such beautiful cabinetry and the stunning wall of appliances, the rangehood should be hidden to bring the cabinet design to the forefront.

With 500 cfm, 30 inch width, and 15 inch depth: there are many types of cooking surfaces that will be properly vented with our Inca HC.

One of the best features of this hood is the direct rear venting option available out of the box. Simply rotate the blower by removing some screws, and the duct is rotated to the back so you can avoid extra ducting and elbows and get the most cfm's out of the hood. Visit our webpage for more information.

Inca Smart - an insert hood used to create your own custom masterpiece

The Inca Smart hood by Faber shown in this photo is being used to help create a custom wood hood that looks like a canopy wall hood typically made of stainless steel. This work of art on the wall is created by the kitchen/cabinet designer, and the Inca Smart by Faber provides the ventilation. With 2 incandescent lights, and a 250 cfm motor; this hood can be mounted above a ceran, electric, induction, or standard gas (non-pro style) stove. The 30" wide Inca Smart can be put inside of a 30" or 36" custom wood surface and Faber has stainless steel liners available also. For more information on our complete of kitchen ventilation, visit our website.

Tratto - glass and stainless beauty

The Tratto rangehood by Faber is a stunning hood that matches up well with a lot of cooking surfaces and room designs. For instance in this kitchen picture (courtesy of Euro-line Appliances) you see a traditional kitchen with dark counter tops and a gas cooktop, and neutral backsplash tiles. The Tratto which combines glass and stainless steel offers a "light" look in the kitchen because of the curved glass canopy section. As opposed to much larger canopy hoods on the market, the Tratto will still be the center of attention but yet won't detract too much from the wonderful kitchen design because it is a thin unobtrusive canopy. With a powerful 600 cfm pro motor, halogen lights and baffle style filters, the Tratto will perform very well over most cooking surfaces including pro gas cooktops/stoves - as seen in this photo. For more information visit the Tratto page on our website.

Synthesis rangehood - traditional and contemporary

The Synthesis rangehood by Faber is a traditional canopy style rangehood that features a 500 cfm motor. It is available in 30 or 36 inches widths and in black or white or stainless finishes. The hood has simple angles and a flat front nose that matches up well with a lot of different cooking brands. The Synthesis is shown in this picture over a DCS range which has a bull nose front and matches up well with this hood. Because of the simple lines on this hood, a contemporary kitchen could also match up very well with this hood style.

With 19.5 inches in depth, the hood covers most of a pro surface front to back. As with any of Faber's rangehoods, we recommend that hoods be hung at least 30 inches over a pro gas stove like the one in this photo. For more information visit the Synthesis page on our website.
