Can I build my cooker hood out of wood?

July 14, 2010 · 0 comments

I have recently renovated my kitchen and have a new 900mm wide cooker.

I am looking for a cottage style hood maybe something along the lines of an old fire place, to place over the cooker and install an extractor fan up inside.

Having done some reserch I have dicovered to buy it will cost me more than the cooker!

So I have started thinking about building one myself. Some of you my be thinking "A cooker hood out of wood!!!" Well all fitted kitchens with extractors have chipboard housings and wall cupboards either side, so I’m sure it can be done. Has anyone got any practical advice regarding materials paint/finishing options installing extractor inside the cooker hood

Many Many thanks
