Discover Luxair ceiling cooker hoods for kitchen islands and open plan kitchens. Explore flush fitting designs, slimline ceiling extractors and dedicated recirculating models that keep the space above your hob clear and your kitchen looking beautifully integrated.
Choose from compact models to larger 180cm designs, with white, black and stainless steel finishes across the collection. Compare selected models with brushless motors, LED lighting and external motor options to find the right ceiling extractor for your kitchen layout and ventilation needs.
Choosing the right ceiling cooker hood starts with your kitchen layout, hob position and available ceiling space. Consider how the extractor will be installed and where the air will go before selecting your preferred size and finish.
Compare the extractor dimensions with your cooking area and check the positioning guidance for your chosen model. Width alone does not determine suitability. Installation height, airflow and the position of the extractor above the hob also affect how effectively cooking fumes are captured.
Measure the available ceiling void and allow space for the motor, ducting and access required for installation and maintenance. Slimline, box motor and external motor configurations have different requirements. Always check the technical drawing for the exact model and motor option you intend to order.
Ducted ceiling cooker hoods carry extracted air outside through suitable ducting. Recirculating models filter the air and return it to the kitchen, providing an alternative where an external duct route is impractical. Recirculation requires the correct filters and does not remove cooking moisture from the room.
Consider lighting, controls, energy rating, filter maintenance and published noise levels alongside extraction performance. Features vary between models, so check the specifications for your selected size and motor configuration.
If you are unsure which ceiling extractor suits your kitchen, contact Luxair with your hob dimensions, ceiling height, available ceiling space and proposed duct route. These details will help the team advise you on suitable models and installation accessories.
A ceiling cooker hood is an extractor installed at ceiling level above a cooking area. Depending on the model, it can be recessed into a suitable ceiling or fitted within a purpose built lowered ceiling feature. This keeps the area above the hob visually open, making ceiling extractors a popular choice for kitchen islands and open plan kitchens.
A ceiling cooker hood sits at or close to ceiling level, while an island cooker hood hangs down above the hob. Ceiling extractors offer a more discreet appearance and keep sightlines clear across the room. The right choice depends on your kitchen design, installation height, ceiling construction and ventilation requirements.
Yes, provided you choose a model designed for recirculation or one that supports a suitable recirculation configuration. These extractors use grease filters and compatible odour filters before returning air to the kitchen. Check the product specifications to confirm which filters and accessories are required. Recirculation does not remove moisture, so suitable room ventilation is still important.
Ducted extraction carries cooking air, odours and moisture outside, making it a good choice where a suitable external duct route is available.
If ducting outside is impractical, a compatible recirculating ceiling cooker hood filters the air before returning it to the kitchen. Standard charcoal filters absorb cooking odours and require replacement or regeneration according to the filter type.
For compatible installations, Luxair cooker hood plasma filters offer a longer lasting alternative to standard charcoal filtration. Plasma technology treats the air electronically to help reduce cooking odours, while the hood’s metal grease filters remain in place to capture grease. This reduces the need for frequent charcoal filter replacements.
Both charcoal and plasma recirculation return air to the room rather than extracting it outdoors. They do not remove cooking moisture, so suitable room ventilation remains important.
The best option depends on your kitchen layout, ventilation requirements and chosen extractor. Before choosing a plasma filter, confirm compatibility, outlet size and installation space with Luxair.
The required space varies by model and motor configuration. Allow for the extractor body, motor, duct connections and any installation or maintenance access specified in the instructions. Slimline models may suit shallower spaces, while other designs require a deeper void or a lowered ceiling feature. Check the technical drawing before starting ceiling work.
Follow the installation height specified for the exact extractor model, together with the hob manufacturer’s clearance requirements. There is no single height suitable for every ceiling cooker hood. If your ceiling is particularly high, ask Luxair to confirm a suitable model and installation arrangement before ordering.
Choose a size suited to your cooking area and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. Consider the hob dimensions, extractor position, installation height and required performance together. A wider hood alone does not guarantee effective extraction if the positioning or ducting is unsuitable. Check the specifications of your preferred model or contact Luxair for advice.
Noise levels vary depending on the model, motor configuration and fan speed. Many Luxair ceiling cooker hoods offer brushless motor or external motor options, giving you more flexibility when planning extraction for an open plan kitchen.
Brushless motors are designed for efficient operation and can offer quieter performance, particularly at lower speeds. They are worth considering where your kitchen shares space with a dining or living area. Compare the published noise levels and airflow figures for your chosen models at equivalent settings, as a brushless motor does not automatically make every extractor quieter.
External motor options position a compatible motor away from the hood, helping reduce the motor noise heard directly above the cooking area. The permitted location depends on the system, so check whether the selected motor is designed for an indoor remote location or an outdoor installation. Air moving through the hood and ducting will still produce some sound.
Good installation also makes a difference. Use the recommended duct size, keep the route as short and straight as practical, and avoid unnecessary bends or restrictive reductions. Correctly secured ducting and connections can help minimise vibration and maintain airflow.
For the best balance of extraction and noise, contact Luxair with your kitchen layout and proposed duct route. We can help you compare the brushless and external motor configurations available for your preferred ceiling cooker hood.
An external motor ceiling extractor uses a compatible motor positioned separately from the hood body. The permitted location depends on the motor system and may differ between models. This configuration requires careful planning of ducting, electrical connections and access. Always check the installation instructions for both the extractor and the motor.

Many Luxair ceiling cooker hoods feature integrated lighting and remote control operation. Selected models offer adjustable brightness, colour temperature or LED surround lighting. Features differ across the collection, so check the details for your chosen model before ordering.
Follow the cleaning instructions supplied with your extractor. Grease filters need regular cleaning to maintain airflow and capture grease effectively. Some metal filters are suitable for dishwasher cleaning, but this should be confirmed in the manual. Recirculation filters require replacement or regeneration according to the filter type and manufacturer’s instructions.
Yes. Luxair offers dedicated recirculating ceiling cooker hoods designed to filter cooking air and return it to the kitchen without external ducting. These provide a practical option for kitchen islands and layouts where running a duct to an outside wall is difficult.
The collection includes Nuvola, Orion, Pista Stratos and Tolvi Stratos, with sizes and features varying by model. Grease filters capture cooking grease, while compatible odour filters help reduce cooking smells before the air returns to the room.
Unlike models that offer a choice of ducted or recirculating installation, these extractors are specifically designed for recirculation. Check the mounting requirements, electrical connection and clearance needed for filtered air to flow back into the kitchen.
Recirculation does not remove cooking moisture, so suitable room ventilation remains important. Filters also need cleaning, regeneration or replacement according to the instructions for your selected model.
Explore the collection to compare designs, or contact Luxair for help choosing a recirculating ceiling extractor that suits your hob, ceiling and kitchen layout.
Often, yes, but a replacement must be checked against the existing installation. Compare the ceiling cutout, external dimensions, motor depth, duct connection and electrical requirements. Similar looking models may have different fitting dimensions. Send Luxair the existing model details and measurements if you need help identifying a suitable replacement.
