“Worked out fantastic.  Great Job”

These were the comments from our client on the copper range hood we supplied him for his home.  This copper hood most definitely stands out and adds value to the overall kitchen design.  Using the flat top on the hood also didn’t cause any conflict with the vaulted ceiling.  Simple, elegant with a little rustic hammered copper to boot!

Mountains Edge Copperart continues to create beautifully sculpted custom copper range hoods for clients with distinct taste.  We have just added a section to our website that features discounted copper hoods.  These hoods are mostly premade and prefinished and ready for immediate shipment.

The prices are usually discounted 35-50% from the original custom hood order price.  This collection of copper kitchen hoods was formed from non-orders, dimension-changes and some from our showroom stock.  Have a look and see if the dimensions might possible work in your kitchen.  We will assist you in the selection of the exhaust fans that will work in each of these copper hoods.

Copper Range Hoods Offering More

Our coppersmith artisans are creating some of the most beautiful designs in custom range hoods.

Copper range hoods compliment many different design styles such as; Tuscan, French country, rustic, arts & craft, mission, American country, Victorian and modern design. Natural materials like stone and wood seem to be a strong foundation for materials that cooperatively work with copper. We have found that stainless steel integrates best with a copper range hood in the form of rivets, straps or pot rack hardware.

Copper range hood designs are only limited by the ability of the craftsperson. Copper crown moldings, corbels, multi-faceted designs, Repoussé work, hammered textures, creative patina colors and the incorporation of other materials like glass, stone, steel and wood are part of the palette that we, as copper artisans, works with. The copper patinas applied to our copper range hoods are expanding from the warm natural brown penny colors to vibrant patinas exhibiting hues of reds, blues, yellows, purples, silvers and white.

The patina coating on copper range hoods can usually be coated with a lacquer coating that will permanently protect the patina coating. Typically though, patinas are coated with a wax to naturally preserve the patina finish. The periodic application of a wax to the patina surface can help maintain the patina finish. Applying a furniture polish such as Pledge or Orange Glo to copper range hoods with wax coatings will also preserve the patina finish.

Today’s copper range hoods also take advantage of sophisticated exhaust systems in varying capacity, dimensions and ergonomic integration. These exhaust systems are usually supplied in the same brand names as your kitchen range or oven.

Outdoor installations of a copper range hood over grilling and BBQ areas are increasingly used to enhance the visual appreciation of the outdoor patio design.  Particular attention must be paid towards the proper selection of an exhaust fan able to operate in an outdoor environment as well as the size of the hood and its ability to capture exhausting fumes from the cooking area.

Fireplaces and fire pits are another area that copper hoods are used for an enhanced look as well as the hoods functional properties.  Since fireplaces are usually constructed from stone or masonry materials; copper is an ideal complimentary material.
