Erikanh~Hood advice please!

17 years ago

Hello!

Ok-it's "go" time for our hood order and I have a few questions before I pull the trigger. We're going with the PS26 (42 inch by 18 inch) in the brushed stainless with the mirrored bands.

I know yours isn't installed yet, but I'm assuming you've checked it out!

How many bands did you do? Happy?

Should I do the front lip in the brushed or mirrored to match the bands?

Potholders? You did sides, correct? Happy? Would it look nudie without any pot holders?

Sorry for peppering you-there just aren't that many photos out there of these hoods.

Hope everything is going smoothly on your end.

Thanks,

Katie

Good questions, we are about to order our Modern Aire as well!

Hi Katie!

Our hood still isn't installed! But the b/s is going up next week, so it will up be soon hopefully...

My hood is still safely wrapped in several layers of clear cellophane, but I've peeked at it and it looks very very pretty! (Who knew I could get excited over a vent hood??) I have the same size, 42"X18". I ordered 4 polished SS bands with the polished SS lip to match. There are rivets on the bands. I got pot rails on the sides only. I think it would look absolutely fine with no pot rails at all.

I cannot wait to see what's going on with your kitchen! You too, twogirls!

Erika,

Thank you, Thank you!

I keep trying to put the order off, but my dh is starting to think I'm bananas when I say things like "Give me few more days to see Erikanh's installed..."

I'm pretty set on all aspects except pot rails & rivets (which I can never remember the name of-I keep calling them "studs" or "beads"). This hood will be flanked by cabs and over a Thermador 36 inch range, so maybe simpler would be better....

Two girls-what are you thinking for yours?

Thanks again!

Well, we're probably going with the PS12 model. Also considered the PS15, but I think the straight lines of the PS12 will give more of a craftsman appeal, which is kind of the look we are going for. Ours will vent out the ceiling, so it will be like 40" tall by 42" wide. Going with the brushed stainless, probably two bands with rivets and considering a hammered stainless lip. Ive been putting my order off too, but I have to order this week.

Hope you ladies don't mind me butting in here, but I have a PS 26 as well! Mine is just a bit different than yours though insofar as it's powder coated red to match my red range. It's also a bit wider at 45" since the range is 39" wide. It's also a bit deeper at 23" 1/2, not including the front pot rail). There are 4 stainless bands, and a stainless lip. No rivets. Would've loved the rivets, I'm sure, but there is so much else going on what with the color, my ID suggested to not got over the top. :)

I must say, while I love the heck out of the look of the pot rail, I was actually hoping to use it. However, when I bought a couple of hooks and tried hanging either small pans or potholders, I wasn't happy with how messy it all looked. So, at least for now, the pot rail is just for show. Katieob, I'm pretty sure your hood will look just fine with a plain front and no pot rail at all!

If I'm not mistaken, I think Farmhousebound also has a PS 26 in white.
