We are looking to remodel our kitchen and our kitchen height is 7.5 becos it has a soffit. We are not removing the soffit as it is where the exhaust pipe goes through. I would love to have a sleek looking wall exhaust and hubby says it wont look nice and wants to install a undercabinet exhaust. We also need a good powered exhaust for Asian cooking. Any one had the same dilemma? the kitchen rendition photo does not show properly the height. thank you
