Vented hobs combine cooking and extraction in one appliance, removing the need for a separate cooker hood. They are designed to capture steam, grease, and odours directly at the source, helping keep your kitchen air clean while saving space.
At CATA Appliances, vented hobs offer a streamlined solution for modern kitchens. If you are comparing options, you can explore our full hob range or view our cooker hoods to understand the differences.
Vented hobs use an integrated extraction system positioned alongside or within the cooking zones. As you cook, the extractor draws in steam and airborne grease before it can spread around the kitchen, helping maintain a cleaner environment.
Depending on the installation, they can operate in either extraction mode, where air is vented outside, or recirculation mode, where air is filtered and returned to the room. This makes them suitable for a wide range of kitchen layouts.
One of the main advantages of a vented hob is space saving. By combining two appliances into one, you free up overhead space and create a more open kitchen design, which is especially useful in island layouts.
They also offer efficient extraction at source, reducing the spread of cooking odours and condensation. This can improve air quality and reduce the need for additional ventilation.
Vented hobs are ideal for modern kitchens where design and functionality are equally important. They work particularly well in open-plan spaces or where installing a traditional extractor hood is not practical.
If you are weighing up your options, you can compare them with traditional cooker hoods or explore our wider hob range. For more advice, visit our cooker hood guides and advice hub.
