Cooker Hoods Ireland

Premium Kitchen Extraction at Mullen Domestic - Transform Your Kitchen Into a Fresh, Odour-Free Cooking Space

At Mullen Domestic, our range features everything from discreet built-in hoods to dramatic chimney designs, each equipped to deliver powerful extraction and return clean air to your kitchen. Grease filters catch airborne grease droplets before they can coat surfaces, while activated carbon filter systems in recirculation models absorb odours effectively. The result is a cleaner, more comfortable cooking environment where you actually want to spend time.

How Cooker Hoods Work

1. Position your hood correctly Install your hood at a minimum of 650 mm (65 cm) above an electric hob or 750 mm (75 cm) above a gas hob. Correct placement ensures maximum capture of rising steam and grease without safety risks. Always confirm clearance with the manufacturer's specifications.
2. Choose your ventilation mode Ventilation options include ducted for strong extraction and recirculating for flexibility. Ducted hoods vent air outside through ducting for effective moisture removal-ideal where external wall access is available. Recirculating hoods filter air and return it to the kitchen using charcoal filters to absorb odours, making them easier to install as they don't need an external wall. You can explore both outside or recirculation models in our range.
3. Let the hood do its work Powerful fans draw cooking fumes upward through layered grease filter and carbon filter systems. The grease filter traps oil particulates while carbon filters neutralise odours in recirculation setups. The result: clean air returned to your kitchen, surfaces that stay cleaner for longer, and cooking smells that don't linger in your living spaces.

For ducted extraction installations, ducts should be as short and straight as possible. Common diameters of 100 mm, 120 mm, and 150 mm are available-larger diameters allow greater airflow and less noise. Irish Building Regulations (Part F) require a minimum extract ventilation rate of 60 l/s in kitchens, reduced to 30 l/s when an extracting cooker hood sits directly above the hob. Northern Ireland's Technical Booklet K follows similar requirements.

Cooker Hood Types and Specifications

Choosing between hood types depends on your kitchen design, cooking style, and preferred aesthetic. Here's how each type compares:

• Integrated cooker hoods – Integrated hoods blend seamlessly with kitchen cabinetry, hiding behind cabinet doors for a seamless look. All our integrated hoods are available in multiple sizes, with available sizes including 50cm and 60cm models. They offer stylish finishes like stainless steel and black, and can feature ducted or recirculation options. Perfect for compact galley kitchens or anywhere you want a clean look. Check out beko integrated hoods reviews and other genuine independent reviews to share genuine independent reviews from real customers.
• Chimney hoods – Chimney hoods are suitable for traditional layouts with wall mounted hobs, creating a striking focal point. Chimney hoods fit larger kitchens for high-impact style, with robust stainless steel chimneys and high performance extraction. They typically deliver the strongest airflow rates in the range.
• Island cooker hoods – Island hoods are suspended from the ceiling above a kitchen island for 360-degree coverage, designed for larger open plan spaces. They require ceiling-mounted ducting and must handle air exposure from all sides. Width should match or exceed the hob for effective capture.
• Ceiling cooker hoods – Ceiling hoods are ideal for installation above kitchen islands, sitting flush for a minimalist finish. These ceiling cooker hood designs suit contemporary design preferences and award winning design aesthetics. Downdraft hoods rise from the worktop, ideal for minimalist designs, while downdraft extractors are popular in contemporary kitchens with unobstructed views.
• Telescopic hoods – Telescopic hoods are ideal for a minimalist finish, sliding out when needed and retracting into kitchen units when not in use. A good choice where space is limited and you want the hood blend effortlessly with cabinetry, blending seamlessly into the worktop area.
• Vertical cooker hoods – Vertical cooker hoods are ideal for compact kitchens, offering an angled design that maximises extraction while taking up less headroom.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size cooker hood do I need for my kitchen? Your hood width should match or exceed the width of your hob so fumes can't escape sideways. For most standard hobs, a 60cm hood is suitable. Island installations or wider range cookers may need 90cm or larger models. Available sizes include 50cm and 60cm models across most integrated and built in hoods.

Can I install a cooker hood without external ducting? Yes. Recirculating hoods are easier to install as they don't need an external wall or ductwork. They use charcoal filters to absorb odours and return clean air to the kitchen. However, recirculation models do not count as extract ventilation for building regulation purposes, and they cannot remove humidity or heat as effectively as ducted extraction. Visit our buying guide for more detail on which suits your situation.

How often should I clean and replace the filters? Metal grease filters should be cleaned every 1–3 months-most are dishwasher safe. Carbon filters in recirculation models should be replaced approximately every 4 months depending on usage. Clogged filters reduce airborne grease capture, increase noise, and can even become a fire hazard. Check our filters page for compatible replacements.

Do you offer installation services in Northern Ireland? We offer free local delivery across Northern Ireland and can advise on installation requirements. Ducted hoods usually require professional installation and external ducting-we recommend qualified fitters for gas hob setups. Learn more on our about us page.
