Ventilation is one of the most overlooked aspects of the kitchen but the fact is that it is an important part of its design. A good ventilation system will improve the functionality of your modular kitchen. The kitchen can turn hot and grimy with time because cooking leads to the generation of a lot of odours, grease and smoke. Including a functional ventilation system in your kitchen design is the easiest way to control the temperature and improve the air quality of the kitchen. It works by expelling the hot air and constantly circulating the air inside your kitchen. This helps to greatly improve the air quality which gives rise to a more pleasant kitchen environment.
