In our previous blogpost, we talked about What is a Range Hood, How a Kitchen Heat Extractor works and why you need to have a Kitchen Smoke Extractor in your home. You can read it here. 

PS: A Range Hood is also called a Kitchen Hood, a Kitchen Heat Extractor or a Kitchen Smoke Extractor. In this blogpost, they would be used interchangeably.

In this blogpost today, we will be talking about the features to consider when buying a Range Hood.

There are many different types and sizes of Kitchen Heat Extractors designed to fit the way you cook, your cooking surface and your kitchen setup. When choosing a kitchen hood, make sure you match it to your home and lifestyle.

Learn more about how to choose a Kitchen smoke extractor with these considerations:

Power:

CFM, or cubic feet-per-minute, measures how much air your ventilation system can move in one minute. Gas stove venting requirements typically call for a higher CFM rating than venting requirements for electric ranges. You also have to pay attention to the power and voltage rating for power consumption.

Sound:

Older ventilation systems are often associated with a lot of noise. Thankfully, newer range hoods can be quieter thanks to the implementation of low sound level technology.

Lighting:

It is also important for the Kitchen Extractor to be able to light up your cooking space, so you should look for one with bright lights that let you see your entire work surface.

Pairing:

It is important to make sure to pair the size of your range hood with the size of your cooking surface. At minimum, pairing should be size for size (30″ hood with 30″ cooking surface). Be sure to check the dimensions of the Kitchen smoke extractor and comparing with your cooking surface before making the purchase.

Sensors:

Most newer Kitchen Heat Extractor comes with sensor switch which is often controlled by hand or via an app. Using this means you can control your rangehood easily as all you have to do is move you hands or press a button on your phone.

We have a video to show you how the hand sensor switch works. Watch video here.

Venting:

Depending on design and construction of your home, you might have to choose between a recirculating hood or a duct range hood.

A recirculating or ductless range hood should contain a carbon or charcoal filter which absorbs and traps air contaminants like smoke, steam and odours rather than transferring them to the outside of your home the way that a duct would.

In a duct range hood, contaminated air is suctioned through the vent in your range hood and quickly transported to the outdoors, while fresh, clean air is pulled in from the outside into your kitchen to replace the contaminated air that has been removed.

What is a Range Hood & Where to buy a Range Hood in Nigeria?

What is a Range Hood?

A range hood, also known as a vent hood or kitchen hood or heat extractor, is a kitchen appliance equipped with a mechanical fan, or blower, that extracts steam, smoke, odors, grease, and heat from your kitchen.

It evacuates air contaminants and heat from your kitchen by capturing them and transporting them to the outside of your home through a duct.

How does it work?

While cooking, the hood draws in moisture, smoke and grease via a fan. Hoods with outside ventilation pull that air out of the home through ductwork. Recirculating range hoods use a series of filters to scrub the air before returning it to the room.

Running your kitchen hood fan for several minutes before you start cooking helps create suction so there is no delay in venting. Running the fan for several minutes after cooking can also help clear any additional smoke and odor from the air.

Why do I need a Range Hood?

It is one of the most important appliances in a modern kitchen as it ensures that the air quality in your home remains safe and breathable by removing harmful smoke, steam, and other air contaminants from the air and replenishing your kitchen with fresh air from the outside.

Most respiratory health concerns, like asthma or allergies, are alleviated through regular use of a kitchen heat extractor. Using a kitchen hood also prevents oil from settling on the surfaces of your kitchen, thereby protecting your cooking area from accumulating a layer of sticky grease or stains.

Using a kitchen exhaust hood also mitigates offending odors during food preparation, relieving concerns about unwanted smells lingering after cooking odoriferous foods like fish or snail or even food items like locust beans. Finally, a range hood can help maintain a comfortable temperature in your kitchen by removing excess heat.

We talked extensively about some of the key features to consider when buying a Range Hood for your kitchen in another blogpost.

What are Sanitary Wares?

Sanitary Wares | Buy online at Wutarick Store

The term ‘sanitaryware’ or ‘sanitary wares’ is a slightly ambiguous one that in very general terms refers to sanitary appliances found in installations, such as toilets and bathrooms.

In its narrowest sense, it can be taken to refer to WC bowls, cisterns, bidets, urinals, and washbasins (and sometimes sewerage pipes), that have traditionally been manufactured from porcelain (a ceramic material made from clay that might be described as ‘vitreous china’ when coated with enamel).

This might be referred to as ceramic, porcelain or china sanitary ware, and is often white.

However, sanitary wares are now made from a wide range of materials, including metals, acrylics, glass, and so on, and ‘sanitaryware’ is sometimes now interpreted to include a wider range of appliances that might be found in sanitary installations such as baths, showers, bins, incinerators, macerators, and so on.

At Wutarick Store, we have a wide collection of Sanitary Ware available for sale. You can check them out here.

7 Reasons Why You Should Use Tiles

A picture of a living area with tiles

In this post, we are going take you through the reasons why we think you should make use of tiles in your next project either building a new home or renovating your current home.

One of the things you have to consider when renovating or building your home is the type of material to be used in areas like the bathroom, kitchen, or other living space. But which material is best for your project? Should you just paint, use a wallpaper carpet, laminate, leave it bare or use tile?

Naturally, you are going to want something that, not only looks good but will be able to withstand use. That is where Tiles comes in, because only Tiles can deliver on both.

1. Tiles Are Easy To Clean

Tiles are very easy to clean. We earlier mentioned some reasons why you should clean your tiles regularly. Unlike carpet or rug which easily collects dirt and needs to be cleaned thoroughly regularly, tiles do not require as much attention. Tiles are much easier and less time-consuming to care for than other materials.
By simply cleaning tiles with a mop twice in a week, they will look pristine. For areas with low movement or usage, weekly mopping may not even be required while heavy movement areas would require more.

2. Tiles will Look Good for Year

Tiles are the most durable flooring product available on the market. Compared to carpet or rug which can easily stain and fade with time, Tiles can still look very good for years as long as they are properly installed, maintained and cared for, they will continue to look as good as the first day they were installed. Other flooring products like wood or vinyl cannot last for years as they harbour germs, scuffs or even tear which would result in the whole floor needing to be replaced.

3. Tiles are Versatile

At Wutarick Store, we have hundreds of unique tiles which comes in many different shapes, sizes, patterns and colours, so there is always a Tile to reflect your personality and taste. From porcelain tiles to Mosaics, there is an almost limitless choice for every taste and budget out there from modern to urban designs. With other flooring types like rug and carpet, you may be stuck with a very smaller pool of options to choose from compared to Tiles.

4. High-End Look

If you aim to create a high-end look in your home or office space without breaking the bank, tiles offer you a far better option compared to others. Tiles hold their value far better and add a more elegant, sophisticated and eye pleasing look to your space.

Shopping on Wutarick allows our committed team to bring you the highest quality tiles at absolutely competitive prices. Regardless of whatever tiles you end up choosing, we will ensure that your floor looks the best.

5. Tiles are Hypoallergenic

Regardless of your allergy, Tiles are hypoallergenic. The hard, flat surface of both ceramic and porcelain tiles make them the perfect choice for those that suffer from allergies. Unlike Carpet or rugs that are haven for allergens, dust mites, pollen, and pet hair which cannot cling to tile surfaces making them ideal. With tiles, you do not have to worry about such allergies.

6. Tiles are Fire Resistant

Conventionally, tiles like ceramic or porcelains are well known for their ability to naturally withstand high temperature including fires. Since tiles don’t burn or scorch, this makes them perfect for use in the kitchen, unlike carpet or rugs which can easily catch fire.

7. Tiles are Budget-Friendly

With Tiles, there is something for every budget. Tiles are relatively reasonable and we have types of tiles that are suitable for every budget. We understand that cost is something you always have to consider when renovating or designing your project. You can check out our tiles section or just visit any of our showrooms and we would help you find suitable tiles for your project.

We hope with this few reasons, you understand why we think tiles are the superior material for renovating or redecorating your home or office. If you still have questions, feel free to get in touch with us or visit any of our showrooms and talk to our staff who will be happy to help.
