Wall Mounted Kitchen Range Hoods

Yes, range hoods can absolutely be vented through an exterior wall. This is one of the most common ducting routes for wall-mounted range hoods. A licensed HVAC contractor or the insert manufacturer typically specifies the duct size, CFM rating, and wall cap needed. Custom Metal Home fabricates the decorative shell; venting is handled by your HVAC professional using a third-party insert.

Custom Metal Home offers wall mounted range hoods in stainless steel, zinc, copper, brass, darkened steel, and powder-coated steel. Each material is available in multiple hand-finished treatments including brushed, mirror, hammered, and various patina levels, allowing the hood to complement virtually any kitchen style from modern to traditional.

Custom fabrication typically takes 4 to 8 weeks from order confirmation. Before production begins, detailed computer drawings are provided for your approval. Once approved, the hood is built to your exact specifications in Addison, IL, then crated and shipped nationwide to your project location.

Wall mounted range hoods are made to order in any custom dimension. Common widths range from 30 to 60 inches and beyond, with fully custom height and depth to suit your ceiling height and cooktop layout. The standard depth is 25 inches, though this can be adjusted. Custom oversized hoods wider than 60 inches are also available.

Custom Metal Home fabricates decorative range hood shells and covers designed to house a third-party ventilation liner or insert of your choosing — such as Best, Broan, Vent-A-Hood, Zephyr, Faber, or Sirius. The blower, CFM rating, and ducting are specified by your HVAC contractor or insert manufacturer, giving you full control over ventilation performance.

Absolutely. Custom Metal Home actively collaborates with interior designers, kitchen designers, general contractors, and architects on every project. Detailed computer drawings are provided before fabrication begins so all stakeholders can review dimensions and design before production starts. On-site measuring is also available for projects in the Chicago metro area.
