We are trying to work out the best options for extraction in our new kitchen. Unfortunately we will have a large glass roof lantern just in the area we would like to locate our hob!
Our two options are to leave as is, and use a downdraft extractor to hopefully get as much of the water vapour, smells and grease, or alternatively shift the roof lantern further away from the house (towards the garden) and then put in a ceiling mounted extractor right next to the side of the roof lantern.
I am unsure of what to do, as I fear moving the roof lantern away from the centre of the room is going to reduce the amount of light which comes into the darker part of the room. However maybe this is an ether compromise than potentially greasy horrible glass roof lantern panels which are difficult to reach/clean?
Any advice welcomed!
