I think if you upload some pictures will be helpful

Hi there,

A glass chimney hood does provide a nice look however from a functionality standpoint you want to consider how often you cook and what type of cooking surface you are venting.

For those who cook often you will want a hood with a large amount of capture area with enough power to properly remove cooking odors and grease.

Many people choose a glass hood for the aesthetic rather than the function. A glass hood will have a smaller capture area than other chimney or canopy-style hoods. If you cook often you might find that it is more difficult to keep the glass looking clean.

Keep in mind that if you are placing your hood over a gas cooking surface, gas generates more residual heat and grease than electric or induction cooking surfaces. Even if you are venting right outside make sure to choose a hood with enough power and capture area to properly vent your kitchen.
