Island Hoods

18 years ago

Hello,

Talking about hoods lately made me take another, closer look at my hood. Long story short, without any other options, my husband and Father in Law adjusted the upper/chimney section of our island hood to make it high enough to be comfortable in out 8' ceiling application. Anyway, I now would like to cover the imperfections in the stainless steel, I was thinking about having a fabricator basically "wrap" the existing problem area in stainless steel. I was also thinking about a quilted look SS or even wainscot...any ideas?

I wonder if anyone has done this or anything like this. Thanks!

Do you have a photo? WHAT are your imperfections to hide?

I will attach a picture later (no access now...) but the imperfections are that the sheet metal had to be cut and quite simply there are some jagged edges and scratches...where the outer SS "sleeve" meets the inner, and along the top where it meets the ceiling. I'm envisioning new sheet metal and a simple, very small moulding, either SS or wood painted to match ceiling. I wonder however if it would be impossible to service it after the wrap is on as it would cover up the screws on the outside. Not sure what to do! In that case I guess panels would be better.
