Downdraft rangehoods are ingeniously concealed extractor systems that provide an alternative to the conventional rangehood for kitchen ventilation.  The downdraft  system works by drawing the air down through the benchtop or wall behind the hob to the outside.  In cases where a wall mounted rangehood is not an option, it’s invaluable.  It also has the advantage of eliminating the irritating ear-level noise of a standard rangehood.  Downdraft systems offer the kitchen designer the flexibility of being able to be install an extraction system virtually anywhere a cooktop can be situated, including under a window or within an island benchtop, in which case the need for an intrusive ceiling mounted canopy is eliminated. There are several downdraft rangehood extraction systems available from Parmco and we are pleased to offer them here:

Ducting for Parmco Downdraft systems is available in the ducting category.  Replacement filters are found in rangehood filters.
