Introduction To The Range Hood Panel

The range hood panel is an important part of the range hood, and its material and design directly affect the aesthetics, durability, and ease of cleaning of the product. The following is a detailed introduction to the range hood panel:

I. Common Materials

1、 Tempered glass panel:

Advantages: Easy to clean, does not age or turn yellow, has a beautiful and generous appearance, and can enhance the overall decoration effect of the kitchen.

Disadvantages: If the installation position is unreasonable and exposed to high heat, it may cause the glass to explode, posing a safety hazard. However, most tempered glass panel range hoods currently on the market have adopted anti-explosion designs and are equipped with explosion-proof film, greatly reducing the risk of self-explosion.

Applicable scenarios: suitable for consumers who pursue beauty and ease of cleaning, but attention should be paid to the installation location and explosion-proof measures.

2、Stainless steel panel:

Advantages: Durable, resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, easy to clean, and not prone to yellowing or rust. The stainless steel panel made of full 304 stainless steel has a long service life and can maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the kitchen.

Disadvantage: If the selected stainless steel panel is too thin, it may produce a significant amount of noise during use.

Applicable scenarios: Suitable for consumers who value durability and practicality, but note that you should choose stainless steel panels with moderate thickness.

3、Acrylic Sheet Panel:

Pros: Relatively cheap price.

Disadvantages: It is more troublesome to clean, especially for Chinese-style integrated plastic range hoods, which are even harder to clean and will look ugly after aging.

Applicable scenarios: Not recommended as the first choice of material unless the budget is very limited and the cleaning requirements are not high.

4、Metal spraying board panel:

Disadvantages: It is extremely fragile and prone to rusting. After a period of use, the coating may peel off, leading to rusting and rendering it unusable.

Applicable scenarios: Not recommended for use because of its poor durability and aesthetics.

II. Design Characteristics

1、Touch screen:

Advantages: Simple operation, stylish appearance, and can enhance the high-tech feel of the range hood.

Applicable scenarios: suitable for consumers who pursue fashion and convenient operation.

2、 Mechanical Keycap Panel:

Advantages: Strong durability, not prone to failure.

Disadvantages: Compared to touch panels, the appearance may seem slightly outdated.

Applicable scenarios: suitable for consumers who value durability and stability.

3、Hidden panel:

Advantages: The unique design can hide the control panel of the range hood, making the overall appearance more concise and beautiful.

Applicable scenarios: suitable for consumers who pursue ultimate beauty and minimalist style.

III. Purchasing Recommendations

Choose according to the kitchen decor style: if your kitchen is decorated in a modern and minimalist style, you can choose an extractor hood with tempered glass or touch panel; if it leans towards traditional style, then you can choose one with stainless steel panel or mechanical button panel.

Choose based on your usage habits: if you often cook dishes that are heavy in oil and smoke, it is recommended to choose an oven hood with a tempered glass or stainless steel panel that is easy to clean; if your cooking habits are relatively light, you can choose other types of panels according to your personal preference.

Focus on brand and after-sales service: Choosing a well-known brand and a product with perfect after-sales service can ensure the quality of the product and its after-sales guarantee.
