Designer Spotlight: Orizzonte hood by De Waal Developments Ltd.

As we turn the calendar to October and the fall season at Faber we are focusing on a designer / developer who has chosen one of the many fashion forward Faber hoods ro add value to their kitchen, the Orizzonte. The McKernan home in Edmonton, Alberta Canada was designed and developed by De Waal Developments Ltd. This developer believes in green home building with high efficiency appliances and tight energy efficient homes. 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
• 6 and 8" round make up air dampers available
• A grease filter and charcoal filter change / wash reminder
