Why Every Indian Kitchen Needs a Chimney
Selecting the right kitchen chimney is essential for maintaining a clean and efficient cooking environment. With various technologies, suction capacities, and designs available, understanding what works best for your home can be challenging.
This guide provides clear, structured insights to help you make an informed choice — ensuring you select the Glen chimney that perfectly matches your kitchen layout and daily cooking needs.
Types of Chimneys
Different kitchen layouts require different chimney types. Glen offers the full range to suit every design.
A. Wall-Mounted Chimneys
Installed against the wall, directly above the cooktop.
Ideal for: Most Indian modular kitchens.
B. Island Chimneys
Suspended from the ceiling above an island counter.
Ideal for: Open kitchens or premium island setups.
Selecting the Right Size
The width of the chimney should match or exceed your cooktop or hob.
- 6Ocm Chimneys
Perfect for compact kitchens and 2- burner cooktops. Designed to deliver high suction in smaller spaces without compromising on performance. Ideal for apartments and modular kitchens with limited wall area.
- 75cm Chimneys
The balanced choice for medium-sized kitchens and 3- to 4-burner cooktops. Offers powerful suction, modern design, and whisper-quiet operation — the sweet spot between style and substance.
- 9Ocm Chimneys
Engineered for spacious kitchens and heavy cooking. Extra-wide coverage ensures superior smoke and fume extraction even during grilling or frying. A perfect blend of design and performance.
Maintain 65O-75O mm distance between hob and chimney for best results.
Selecting Right Suction Power based on cooking habits
Every household cooks differently. Glen recommends selecting your chimney based on your cooking intensity rather than just kitchen size.
- Light Cooking
Includes boiling, steaming, and mild sautéing. 8OO-1OOO m*/h suction with compact design.
- Regular Cooking
Daily use involving tadka, frying, or masala preparation. 1OOO-12OO m*/h suction, preferably Auto Clean and Filterless.
- Heavy Cooking & Grilling
Includes deep frying, non-veg cooking, grilling, and tandoor-style recipes. 12OO-16OO m*/h suction, Filterless + Auto Clean + BLDC Motor.
