Range hoods are essential to any kitchen because they remove cooking fumes and airborne particles. Those pollutants remaining in the kitchen would make the kitchen space a lot more uncomfortable to be in. But when choosing the best range hood for your kitchen especially when it comes to its looks, there are a ton of decision variables to consider. These include design and customization, the range hood finish, and its durability. Shifting through these decisions can be overwhelming for an average homeowner especially when bombarded with the options available.
A newer but unexplored range hood finish making a positive name for itself is the custom titanium finish. It is a range hood finish that offers durability mixed with a stunning look that makes it a good fit for most kitchen designs. To get a better understanding of this unique finish, we’ll explain all things titanium finish below. We will explore ten reasons why you should consider a custom range hood with a titanium finish for your kitchen space.
Titanium-coated range hoods are custom-made range hoods that have passed through a specialized surface treatment process. This process applies several layers of micron-sized titanium to the surface of the range hood. The process happens repeatedly until it forms a coat over the base material (often stainless steel or other metals) of the range hood. The end result of this process is a hard, durable coating on the range hood surface that protects it from corrosion and dents. The application of this coating also comes with an anti-smudge feature that makes maintaining the range hood a lot easier.
There are several different forms of titanium coated range hoods and the notable ones are
Custom titanium coated range hoods are available in the following finish:
Brushed titanium finish is a popular option for custom titanium range hoods with a slightly matte texture. This is made on the coat by using a wire brush. This finish creates wavy parallel lines on the surface of the range hood. These lines help reduce the amount of light reflected by the vent hood surface.
Polished titanium finish is a highly reflective finish that is achieved by buffing the surface of the titanium coat with a polishing compound. This process creates a smooth, mirror-like finish. But this often allows the hood surface to show fingerprints and smudges more easily. This means you have to do a lot more cleaning to maintain its look.
Textured titanium finish is another option for custom titanium range hoods. This textured finish is achieved by creating a pattern or design on the surface of the titanium. This is done using various techniques like etching or hammering. This finish adds a touch of personality and character to your kitchen. It’s popular for homeowners who want to make a statement with their range hood. The texture can also help to hide fingerprints and smudges.
Colored titanium finish is when the titanium coat is mixed with a layer of color. The color can range from subtle shades of blue or green to bold, vibrant hues like red or yellow. Colored titanium finishes can draw visual interest to any space in your kitchen where you place the range hood.
Satin titanium finish uses sandblasting or chemical etching. This creates a matte, non-reflective surface with a brushed coat appearance. It can be redesigned by adding various colors and patterns and is less prone to showing fingerprints and smudges.
When choosing a titanium hood, you get tons of finish and are functional kitchen cooktop hood and appliance, but some other notable benefits include:
Titanium coats are known for their incredible strength and durability. This makes it ideal for range hoods. It is highly resistant to corrosion, scratches, and dents which means your range hood will maintain its beautiful finish and appearance. This is true even after several years of use.
Titanium-coated range hoods are incredibly efficient and effective at removing impurities from the air. The coat gives the hood good resistance to corrosion and heat. This allows it to function better in extreme working conditions like intense heat and moisture-laden air common in a kitchen.
Titanium-coated range hoods have a sleek and modern look. This can add a touch of sophistication to your kitchen space where the range hood is installed. The shiny surface of the titanium coat gives a polished and high-end appearance. The neutral titanium color also blends well with different kitchen styles. These include minimalist to more traditional ones.
Titanium-coated range hoods are one of the best heat-resistant range hoods available. The titanium coat's low thermal expansion and heat conductivity make these perfect for kitchen use. This is especially true for kitchens with a gas stove or range and those with cooking and frying at high temperatures. The high melting points of titanium coats prevent cracks and creases.
Titanium-coated range hoods are more energy-efficient because they reduce the power needed to operate. This is because titanium coat is highly energy conductive. It can quickly transfer heat from the stove and cooking surface to the range hood.
One of the primary benefits of titanium-coated range hoods is their non-stick surface. The titanium surface is highly resistant to scratches and stains which makes it a lot easier to clean. All you need is a damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. You can use these to wipe down the surface of the range hood.
Custom titanium-coated range hoods especially those made by Moderncopper, operate quietly. This quietness is highly attributed to their superior design and silent powerful fans. These fans move air efficiently and they also come with an exhaust vent with sound-absorbing materials. These further reduce the noise levels. This means that no matter how much air the hood is venting, it won't generate as much noise as other range hoods.
A custom titanium range hood can add value to your home. Homes with high-end kitchen appliances and features are often more desirable to buyers. A custom titanium range hood can be a standout feature that sets your home apart from others on the market.
Installing a custom titanium range hood can bring long-term cost savings. The titanium coat is a durable and corrosion-resistant material. It is less likely to degrade over time which reduces the need for expensive repairs or replacements. Additionally, a custom range hood can be designed based on how much space is available in your kitchen. This ensures maximum use of space.
One key benefit is that your titanium-coated finish is very non-reactive. This means it won’t release harmful chemicals or particles into the air. This often happens with other coats when they are exposed to high temperatures or acidic substances.
With a titanium-coated range hood, you get a high-quality range hood. It is durable, exceptionally efficient, and is an easy-to-clean range hood. It maintains its deep, glossy look and color for a considerable period. This is a no-brainer for the smart homeowner as getting one is definitely one of those steals you would enjoy for a long time.
