This Artisan Custom Tapered Brass Vent Hood with Structural Ribs ATHB-21 stands out through its sculpted form and integrated metalwork. Rather than relying on applied ornamentation, the design creates visual interest through the way the hood itself is constructed. The tapered canopy is divided by three raised structural ribs that emerge naturally from the surface, giving the hood depth, definition, and a strong architectural presence.

The body is finished in non-directional antique brass, a finish known for its soft variation in tone and understated character. Without a visible grain running in one direction, the brass develops a more natural appearance across the large metal surfaces, allowing light to interact differently with each plane of the metal range hood.

The upper canopy features broad angled panels that converge toward the top, creating a clean, substantial silhouette. The raised ribs introduce shadow lines across the face, helping break up the scale of the hood while emphasizing its height. Because these details are built into the structure itself rather than added afterward, they feel cohesive and intentional from every viewpoint.

Below the canopy, the lower section continues the same architectural approach. Recessed panels are framed by the surrounding structure, creating depth and rhythm across the front of the handcrafted kitchen hood. The vertical divisions align with the upper ribs, reinforcing the symmetry of the design and giving the entire piece a sense of balance.

What makes this hood particularly distinctive is its restraint. There are no decorative rivets, applied straps, or ornamental moldings competing for attention. Instead, the design relies on proportion, shadow, and the natural character of antique brass to create visual impact. The result is a custom designer range hood that feels substantial and custom-built while remaining clean and timeless.

Every exhaust hood is handcrafted to order and can be customized in size, proportions, and ventilation configuration to suit the needs of the space. Whether installed in a traditional kitchen or a more transitional interior, the combination of structured panel work and non-directional antique brass creates a focal point that feels both warm and enduring.

Range Hood Ventilation Guide

Artisan Vent Hood offers three range hood ventilation options: an internal motor, a ductless conversion and a remote blower. Each system is designed for a different kitchen layout, installation requirement and noise preference.

1. Internal Motor

The motor is installed inside the range hood and exhausts cooking air outdoors through ductwork.

An internal motor, also called an internal blower, is the most common ventilation option for residential range hoods. The blower is housed inside the hood insert, where it pulls smoke, grease, heat and odors through the filters before directing the air outside.

Best for:
-Kitchens with an existing exterior duct
-New construction and kitchen remodeling projects
-Homeowners who want strong, dependable ventilation
-Projects that require a simple, integrated blower system

---

A remote blower separates the motor from the range hood insert. Smoke, grease and cooking odors are still captured at the hood and exhausted outdoors, but the blower motor operates farther away from the cooking area. Moving the motor away from the hood can reduce the motor noise heard directly above the range. Air movement through the filters and ductwork will still be audible.

Best for:
-Luxury kitchens and open-concept floor plans
-Homeowners who want a quieter cooking area
-Kitchens with suitable attic or remote installation space
-Custom construction projects where the ventilation system can be planned in advance

---

3. Ductless Conversion

Filtered air is recirculated back into the kitchen without an exterior duct.

A ductless range hood, also known as a recirculating range hood, is designed for kitchens where venting through a wall or roof is not possible. Instead of exhausting air outdoors, the system pulls cooking air through grease filters and activated charcoal filters. The filtered air is then returned to the kitchen through ventilation openings in the hood.

Best for:
-Kitchens where exterior ductwork cannot be installed
-Interior kitchen walls without roof or wall access
-Renovations with structural ducting limitations

---

Internal Motor vs. Ductless vs. Remote Blower

Feature	Internal Motor	Ductless Conversion	Remote Blower
Vents air outdoors	Yes	No	Yes
Motor location	Inside the hood	Inside the hood	Attic or approved remote location
Exterior duct required	Yes	No	Yes
Removes cooking heat and moisture	Yes	Limited	Yes
Reduces odors	Yes	Yes, through charcoal filters	Yes
Motor noise at the hood	Standard	Standard	Lower
Installation complexity	Standard	Lower	Higher
Best application	Most residential kitchens	Kitchens without duct access	Quiet, high-end kitchens

---

How Much CFM Does a Range Hood Need?

Artisan Vent Hood systems are commonly paired as follows:

Range Hood Width	Typical Blower Capacity
30″–36″	610 CFM
42″–48″	1150 CFM
54″–60″	1260 CFM

These are general product pairings rather than universal requirements. The final blower should be selected according to the cooking equipment, hood design, duct system and applicable local code.

A little routine care goes a long way toward keeping your Artisan Vent Hood looking its best. Since cleaning needs vary by metal and finish, follow the instructions below for your specific custom range hood.

Caring for a Copper Range Hood

Our copper range hoods are handcrafted from durable 16-gauge copper and finished with a clear protective coating. Gentle cleaning will help preserve the color and surface finish.

Routine Cleaning

For everyday care, dampen a soft cotton cloth with warm water and a mild, non-acidic soap. Gently wipe the surface to remove dust, grease, and cooking residue.

Choose a pH-neutral cleaner whenever possible. Strong dishwashing liquids, abrasive cleaning products, and aggressive scrubbing may affect the protective finish.

Removing Buildup

For heavier residue or occasional disinfecting, use a diluted household cleaner that is both non-corrosive and non-abrasive.

Apply the cleaner with a soft cloth and avoid using anything that could scratch the copper or damage its clear coating.

Drying the Surface

After cleaning—or whenever moisture collects on the hood—wipe the copper with a clean, soft towel. Drying the surface helps reduce water marks and streaking.

Wax Protection

A light coat of natural beeswax or a similar protective wax may be applied every three to six months, depending on how frequently the hood is used.

Spread a thin, even layer over the surface, then gently buff it with a clean, non-abrasive cloth.

Products to Avoid

Do not clean the copper with:
-Ammonia-based products
-Abrasive powders or liquids
-Rough sponges or scrubbing pads
-Strong acidic cleaners

These products can weaken the protective coating and cause the finish to lose its original appearance over time.

Caring for Brass Range Hoods and Stainless Steel Range Hoods

Brass and stainless steel are durable materials that require relatively simple upkeep. Regular dusting, gentle washing, and thorough drying will help keep the hood clean and attractive.

Remove Surface Dust

Use a clean microfiber cloth to gently remove dust. On stainless steel surfaces, always move the cloth in the same direction as the visible grain.

Wash Away Everyday Residue

Use warm water with a small amount of mild soap. Apply the solution with a soft cloth and gently wipe away grease, fingerprints, and normal kitchen buildup.

After cleaning, dry the entire surface with a clean cloth to help prevent water spots and streaks.

Cleaning Grease From Stainless Steel

When regular soap and water are not enough, use a cleaner or degreaser specifically made for stainless steel.

Apply the product with a soft cloth and wipe in the direction of the metal grain. For more stubborn marks, use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner, then rinse the area and dry it completely.

Simple Care Reminders

To protect the appearance of your range hood:

-Use only soft cotton or microfiber cloths.
-Choose gentle, non-abrasive cleaning products.
-Dry the metal after cleaning.
-Follow the direction of the grain when wiping stainless steel.
-Avoid harsh chemicals and rough cleaning tools.

Consistent, gentle maintenance is the best way to preserve the handcrafted finish of your Artisan Vent Hood.
