Hello,

since I only just rediscovered this forum (completely forgot, although it was very, very useful to me before!). Straight away a question: I have a Dätid extractor hood in my open kitchen. So far, I have been using it with recirculation. However, I also have the flexible duct for it lying in the basement and there is an exhaust to the outside, i.e. there is already a hole in the wall and currently there is just a normal wall vent like the ones you usually have in the bathroom in front of it. Problem No. 1: that thing looks like a bathroom vent, so ugly, you can see it from the sofa. Problem 2: this outlet to the outside is not directly above the stove, but about 2 meters away in the wall at about 2 meters height. Of course, I thought of exhaust ventilation when setting up the kitchen and we had already connected the flexible duct. BUT: the duct is visible from the living area if I just lay it on top of the wall cabinets, plus there would still be about an 80 cm long distance to bridge where there is no wall cabinet, so it would basically just "dangle" freely. That's why we took it down again and I have been satisfied with recirculation so far.

Now I saw at a friend’s place that she has a stainless steel cover around this duct that runs along the wall to the opening outside. The extractor is also from Ikea; where this cover comes from is not known, as it was already like that in her apartment when she moved in.

Does anyone of you 1. have an idea how I can implement something like this and 2. do you know where to get something like this/make it? Ikea definitely does not have this. I once asked at a normal kitchen store; they tried to tell me that I would have to buy a complete exhaust hood from them, it wouldn’t be available separately, price starting from 1000 euros up.

An exhaust duct made of stainless steel is available from LAGAN for 50€, however, adjustment work would still need to be done, especially in the area of the "hose kink".

Hello, thanks to you. As a covering, that would certainly work. As you say, the problem is the "bend," it would have to be in basically some connection from the straight shaft that goes up above the hood, to the right towards the shaft. By the way, I once asked at Ikea, they all looked at me like a miracle of the world. But I can't imagine that I'm the only Ikea customer on this planet who wants to cover up his ugly pipe, can I?

How about using an exhaust (flat) duct instead of a flexible exhaust hose? They are rigid and made of white plastic, so they could even be painted in wall color...

Best regards

or clad with drywall. Two meters of stainless steel above the cabinet aren't really nice either. And stainless steel definitely won't be cheap. If you still want stainless steel, I would ask a locksmith. He might be able to bend it to size and might even be cheaper in the end than elsewhere. If he can't do it, he might know an address.

So I think it should be stainless steel then. The white channel does have the shape I had in mind, but it looks ugly. As I said, you look at it from the living room and it is exactly a PIECE to bridge where there is no cabinet or similar, so you would be looking directly at it. The idea with the lock sounds good, I'll have a look and inquire there.
