A fine metal range hood instantly elevates any room and customization makes it entirely your own. When it comes to GrayLeaf’s renowned range hoods, no two look the same, each expressing a distinct style and personality.

When it comes to customizing your range hood, an abundance of opportunity awaits.

Material(s)
Fine metal finishes infuse any home or commercial space with artisan appeal. We specialize in “soft” metals, typically used in higher-end interiors, such as zinc, pewter, brass, stainless steel and copper. Each metal offers its own distinct look and benefits. For instance, zinc is naturally anti-bacterial and non-porous.

Can’t decide which finish you like best? Don’t be afraid to mix and match — we’ll help you decide which materials go best together, both functionally and visually.

Shape
Are you looking for a range hood with dramatic curves? Something with sleek, straight lines? Something in between? You range hood’s shape can transform an entire room and emphasize an aesthetic. For instance, a range hood with a generous curve could complement at French chateau style. Modern, contemporary kitchens pair well with a minimalistic range hood, continuing clean, long lines.

Texture
Textures bring lively visual appeal to your range hood. Although some designers prefer a smooth surface, textures can make a range hood look like a precious family heirloom. Texture options include:

  • Hammered – An artful, hand-wrought finish, a little bit of hammering can go a long way with a range hood. Hammered textures range from highly noticeable to small and subtle.
  • Distressed – Give a range hood some history (even if it’s brand new!) with a distressed finish. Depending on the material, distressing may include sanding to intentionally denting.
  • Stamped – If you’re seeking more of a pattern, stamping could be a way to give your range hood some personality.

Patina
A patina results from a natural chemical process that occurs when metals are left to the elements. We can hasten that process in the studio through artisanal techniques that meticulously coax vibrant hues from the metal. The type of metal, humidity and the individual metalworker’s approach all contribute to the outcome. Popular patinas include antiqued zinc and blackened steel or copper.

Edge Details
We’ve earned a glowing reputation in the industry for our specialty edge detail selection. We can seamlessly achieve an ornate and highly detailed edge as well as a simple and straightforward one — it’s truly up to you and what your vision entails, thanks to our proprietary machinery and processes.

Straps, Rivets, Medallions
Designers know that every detail can make an enormous difference in a project — and that certainly goes for range hoods as well. Decorative additions, such as straps, rivets, medallions and more can make your range hood truly unforgettable.

  • Straps are narrow, vertical pieces of metal, following the range hood’s lines and edges to make the shape stand out.
  • Rivets are decorative nails or clavos that are used to accessorize the straps.
  • Medallions, or circular metal badges, are another way to make your range hood the star of the show.
