Thank you to Anthony Wilder Design/Build, Inc. and Architect JP Ward, AIA for sharing these images of a stunning home in Maryland. The Cylindra Isola is featured above a Miele cook top and really highlights the functionality of an island hood that allows for being able to cook and see the incredible views into beautiful backyard at the same time! 

The natural elements of the kitchen, the neutral counter tops, the wood flooring and the light cabinetry all blend together to form an inviting setting which connects with nature outside thru the backyard facing windows. The Cylindra Isola hood becomes the focal point with it's stylish stainless cylinder hanging down from the ceiling. With 600 cfm's, advanced electronic controls and the stainless silent panel underneath and 2 level halogen lighting the Cylindra Isola has all the designer features you need.  For more information on this hood and any others in the Faber line, please visit our website.        

Modern with a Classical Twist featuring the Maestrale by Faber

Thank you to Joan Enger at J. Patryce Design , a New Jersey based Interior decoration firm for sharing this wonderful modern space featuring our Faber Maestrale hood above a Wolf range.

Joan describes her design and vision below:

"The kitchen was created in a modern, clean fashion with a twist of classical.  Instead of going with a traditional and expected shaker panel, we decided on a flat panel with a grooved detail to mimic the shaker style in an unexpected way.  The base cabinetry was done in a custom cerused oak finish, while the upper cabinets were finished in a matte lacquer.  The appliances were mostly concealed within integrated cabinetry panels, with the exception of the range and hood - allowing them to be the focal point of the kitchen.  The Maestrale was a perfect fit with its clean lines and superior function.

The clients were extremely happy!" - Joan Enger, J. Patryce Design

This is a great example of the "chameleon" hood Maestrale. Because this is a traditional Pro style hood, it fits into a traditional kitchen style. But looking at this example above, the Maestrale also works in a modern setting as well because of the clean lines and stylish curves on the nose. With 600 or 1200 cfm's, halogen lights, 3 speed control and the optional top or direct rear venting, the Maestrale provides an amazing value! With prices starting at a little over $1,000 USD, this professional hood that is 18" tall and 25" deep coming in 30 - 48" widths to match up with any pro-style range at a fraction of the price of the "named" range hoods. This means with no logo on the front of the hood, the Maestrale, again the "chameleon" hood, can blend with the branded range below and appears to be the same brand as the range but with a price tag in some cases $1,000 less!

Classica hood in a Transitional New England Kitchen

Todays beautiful kitchen featuring our Faber Classica hood comes courtesy of Nathan J. Reynolds of Insperiors, a Interior Design firm in Rhode Island who helps clients create their dream spaces in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. 

The kitchen design elements, vision and how the Classica fits are perfectly described by Nathan:

"The Classica stainless wall hood offers a high-end look to our North Dartmouth, Massachusetts kitchen design. The chimney style range hood provided traditional design elements, solid performance and an overall great look above the Frigidaire gas slide-in range.

The marble stone tile behind the hood frames the look and creates a strong focal point in the kitchen—accentuating the high ceiling height and beautiful crown molding atop the rich cherry custom wall cabinets. The tiled backsplash takes this kitchen from plain to lovely and layered.

The Classica stainless wall hood is minimalist and functional. I love to include Faber hoods whenever possible in my kitchen designs—as they look awesome and function well. They really do vent better than any other system out there. Plus, they don’t break the bank!" - Nathan J. Reynolds, Insperiors  

This kitchen really does accentuate the best qualities of the Italian styled Classica, the hood is a traditional shaped chimney style model but yet has modern design elements including the simple lines to fit into a transitional kitchen or a traditional one. With 600 cfm, dishwasher safe grease filters, a 3 speed LED electronic control and halogen lighting, the Classica has all the features and functionality you need in a decorative kitchen range hood.

Stilo Wall hood in a stunning Canadian lakeside house

Many thanks to designer and cabinet fabricator Jason Syberg of Iron Wood Cabinet Company who used our Stilo wall hood in this beautiful lakeside kitchen located in Peachland, BC Canada, in the Okanagan lake region.

Jason had this to say about his kitchen design and how the Stilo wall hood fit:

"I designed and built this cabinet package for my own house. I wanted to use natural elements, wood, glass, and metal and have them showcased against a white backdrop. I combined quarter sawn walnut, aluminum and frosted glass doors, paint grade millwork, white quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances including a Faber Stilo hood fan to create a clean modern look that complemented the amazing lake view this property had."

The Stilo because of it's sleek Italian design has always blended well in a contemporary setting. The hood compliments the entire kitchen and the clean lines of the hood match up with the horizontal lines of the cabinetry. And if Jason, a kitchen professional used our hood in his OWN HOME, that means he trusts Faber to be used by his clients! For more information see our website.

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

In regards to the kitchen design, this open floor plan kitchen mixes modern lighting and appliances with classic cabinetry, hard wood flooring and subway tiles. The clean lines of the Orizzonte matches well with the white clean cabinets and the smooth top cook top and oven which all contribute the light and airy feel of the kitchen design. The track lighting in the ceiling highlights the cooking area and puts the focus on the Faber Orizzonte.

Koen de Waal, C.E.T. , President of De Waal Developments Ltd. had this to say about why they chose the Faber for their project:

"We chose our Faber hood fan based on the functional and sleek design. We are impressed by both and the design aesthetic of Faber." 

The Orizzonte is a part of the Image collection by Faber and is an excellent value for this fully featured designer hood. Some of the many features of the hood are as follows:

• A powerful 600 cfm fan with a pro motor with metal impellers and metal motor housing
• Perimetric stainless steel front panels that hide the grease filters, reduce air noise and increase efficiency
• 2 level halogen lights
• 4 speed LED electronic read out control with a 10 minute intensive speed and 30 minute auto shut off timer
• Can be converted to ductless

Make-Up Air Kit from Faber

Now available from Faber is a Make-Up air damper to help regulate air balance in your home and make sure your hood is getting enough air returned back into the kitchen to operate properly. For tighter homes of today where not enough air can come back into the home naturally, we now offer a kit to have a automatic damper bring fresh air back in the house whenever your Faber hood operates.

Faber Make-up Air Damper demonstration - click this link for a demo of this damper

This system makes installing a make up air system that works simultaneously with your hood a snap. Simply plug in the transformer, wire the air switch and the automatic damper. Then put the damper in a new return air duct or hook it up to your return air side of your HVAC system. Next, place the air switch on top of your hood and tape it into place and duct your hood as you normally would. For a spec sheet on this product please visit www.faberonline.com.
