Like a range hood, the hood liner lets smoke and other messes out of the house. If your kitchen has custom cabinets or a custom hood, you won’t need a range hood. Instead, you’ll need a range hood liner that will fits perfectly inside the custom hood.

What is a Hood Liner?
A “Liner” is a range hood that is put on the inside of a decorative hood made of wood, plaster, tile, or metal. Most tile or plaster hoods are made of plywood with tile or plaster on top.
Inside the canopy, there are light switches for the blower system.
Standard hood liners may be something you want to buy because:
- Pre-wired
- Already put together and ready to use
- Immediately ready to go
- Liners that are made just for you cost more.
- Finishes in Stainless Steel or Standard Powder Coat
- LED lights are bright and use a lot less power than other kinds of lights.
You can also order a Custom Liner that will fit any custom hood you choose.
Are hood vents necessary?
Cooking can make a lot of smoke, grease, and food smells that stick around, especially when frying or grilling. Having a range hood in your kitchen helps keep the air clean. These things come in different forms, and some work better than others.
Without question. Let the air go outside instead of bringing it back inside. The best way to keep your kitchen clean is to have a venting hood that gets rid of steam, smoke, heat, and cooking smells. This removes the grease that would otherwise stick to your walls and cabinets.
Is a range hood with vents better than one without?
Without question. Let the air go outside instead of bringing it back inside. The best way to keep your kitchen clean is to have a venting hood that gets rid of steam, smoke, heat, and cooking smells. This removes the grease that would otherwise stick to your walls and cabinets.
Most people agree that range hoods without vents don’t get grease and cooking smells out of the air nearly as well. They also don’t take away heat or moisture, so they won’t help keep your kitchen cool while you cook.
How do you install a vent hood liner?
Here are the four steps to installing an insert for a range hood:
- Attach the adaptor to the vent hood’s back.
- Slide the insert into the back of the range hood or custom cabinets.
- Join the pipe to the adapter.
- Put the insert in place with a screw.
- For your custom hood, a vent hood or range hood insert is a great choice. You can make the custom hood look however you want, and it only takes a few minutes to slide the range hood insert inside.
Also, put your range hood insert between 28 and 36 inches from your cooktop when you put it in. This will make your hood work as well as it can and filter just the right amount of air out of your home—not too little or too much.
