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.

Minimalism in effect


These photos show the Cristal HC by Faber in a beautifully simple kitchen in New York, designed by Modern Kitchens. The Cristal HC can blend into your kitchen with a very short profile. With a white, aluminum or black face plate that comes in the box, or by simply attaching your own custom face to the hood, it is a very versatile product from a design standpoint. With white cabinetry and glass above the stove, the Cristal blends into this elegantly designed kitchen. When you are ready for the hood to take a starring role in the kitchen simply slide out the visor to reveal 2 sets of grease filters and lighting. The Cristal's motor and lighting will turn on when you slide out the 7 inch long visor to help ventilate your kitchen. When you are finished cooking, simply slide the visor back in. Visit our website for more information.

Kitchen renovation (before and after) with Faber

































These before and after photos are from a recent Faber rangehood installation in a traditionally styled New England kitchen. The Faber Agio replaced a basic, inexpensive, older recirculating rangehood installed dating back to when this townhome was first built. By installing the Agio by Faber into this kitchen, the look of the kitchen was instantly updated. Not only is the Agio matching the black range with a black glass front, but the Agio is a sleek and elegant hood, compared to the previous hood in the kitchen. With high quality dishwasher safe mesh grease filters and charcoal filters, the Faber hood will also provide better ventilation than the previous hood. When not in use the Agio can be pushed back in, becoming flush with the side cabinets (as seen in the photo), and when you need to turn on the hood, pull the visor out and the lighting comes on and the hood operates at the previously set speed. Just as with the previous rangehood, the upper cabinets are still empty, so they can be used for storage etc.

Lastly, since Faber makes a green product with 100% recyclable packaging and 95% product recycling, this customer can feel good about helping the environment. Also, the Agio is so energy efficient, that for $1 per year in electrical costs, the hood can be run for 30 minutes a day, everyday for a year! Now that's energy efficient!

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.

The Diamante Rangehood - the diamond shaped hood


Today's entry focuses on the Diamante rangehood by Faber. The Diamante found in this stunning kitchen, designed by Mark Daniels Kitchen and Bath Remodeling ; features a very sleek black ceran cooktop and the equally sleek Diamante hood by Faber. The Diamante's canopy section (before the chimney starts) is under 3 inches in height. The hood has a diamond edge (Diamante means diamond in Italian) on the corners that runs up the entire length of the hood. Notice the additional design elements that incorporate the diamond edge of the Diamante, with the marble tiles on the backsplash that are also diamond shaped.

With a powerful 600 cfm motor, this hood will handle all kitchen contaminents including grease, steam, odor and smoke. This kitchen really demonstrates a few key deisgn elements: 1) making the rangehood the center of attention in the kitchen design and 2) basic is beautiful - this is a basic kitchen design which is very clean, simple and most of all elegant and beautiful!

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.
