Range Hood | Ballast
Bold, grounded, and beautifully simple. The Ballast Hood brings a confident, architectural presence to any kitchen. Think clean planes, quiet luxury, and proportions you can tailor to perfection.
This parametric hood file makes styling effortless: adjust 35+ user parameters—overall size, shape, strapping, and trim and watch the design update instantly to match your customer’s look. No SketchUp required; set your dimensions, tweak the options, and let the formulas drive every part.
Go straight from screen to machine. Setup is fast, assembly is simple, and parts come off the CNC ready to go with dados and pilot-hole locations already in place. Plus, every hood is either a two-piece design or includes removable/hinged panels to support blower-motor access (confirm local code requirements).
