Extraction-It sucks!

Believe it or not, extraction plays a major part in your kitchen design. The style of extraction you use will not only influence how classic or contemporary your design comes across, but will also significantly affect balance and spacing.

Or for the ultimate design statement, you could go for a hob with integrated extraction which negates the need for a separate extractor and keeps things simple, subtle and efficient by handling all functions effortlessly.
