If you’ve to timid space than a range hood with an exposed shaft will be ideal. Remember the space you have horizontally and vertically determine also to your options of hoods.

2. Take a picture. It’s important to take a picture on the kitchen and the house plan to help you decide the kind of hood that you’re going to install. By taking a picture also means that you can consult with the salesman so that he can help you choose the right one.
