Size Guide

Hood Width (A)
A wall-mounted range hood should be at least as wide as the cooktop. Common hood widths include 30, 36, 42 and 48 inches. When space allows, choosing a slightly wider hood can provide better coverage.

Hood Height (B)
Ceiling Height (C) − Rangetop Height (D) − Mounting Clearance (E) = Hood Height (B)

The distance from the cooking surface to the bottom of the hood should generally be 30–36 inches for optimal performance.

Example: Ceiling Height (108″) − Rangetop Height (36″) − Mounting Clearance (33″) = 39″ Hood Height.

Hood Depth (F)
Wall-mounted range hoods typically measure 22–24 inches deep, depending on the depth of the cooking surface and the kitchen layout.

Hood Width (A)
For an island-mounted range hood, the hood should be 3–6 inches wider than the cooking surface to provide better coverage and capture smoke from all sides.

Hood Height (B)
Ceiling Height (C) − Rangetop Height (D) − Mounting Clearance (E) = Hood Height (B)

The distance from the cooking surface to the bottom of the hood should generally be 30–36 inches for optimal performance.

Example: Ceiling Height (108″) − Rangetop Height (36″) − Mounting Clearance (33″) = 39″ Hood Height.

Hood Depth (F)
Island range hoods typically measure 26–27 inches deep to provide sufficient coverage in an open kitchen layout.
