The kitchen, formerly a mere place for preparing meals, has turned into a true epicentre of modern domestic life: today it is not only a functional environment, but also a place for sharing and interaction. In this scenario it goes without saying that even the purchase of a kitchen hood is no longer just an aesthetic choice, but a crucial decision to ensure an environment that is as healthy and welcoming as possible.
The quietness of new technologies applied to extractor hoods represents a fundamental element in this evolution: the noise of household appliances, once considered unavoidable, today can compromise the atmosphere of tranquillity and conviviality that the kitchen is called upon to offer. The search for technological solutions that combine efficiency and silence is therefore essential in an environment where the pleasure of cooking is inseparable from acoustic comfort.
In our journey through technological innovations to ensure a cooking experience without annoying noises, we explore three revolutionary cutting-edge solutions that help transform our kitchen into an oasis of quiet and relaxation: Sound Pro, Sil & Still and Remote Blower.
High performance and sound quality: Sound Pro technology
Aiming to offer a concrete solution to the problem of annoying sound coming from the hood and developed following in-depth research, the new Sound Pro technology, by optimising the fluid dynamics of the product, reduces turbulence and vortices in the air flow inside the hood. Thanks to a specially designed diffuser, it not only minimises the noise level by up to - 6db when the motor is at its maximum power, but also improves the sound quality of the extraction device. This technology guarantees perfect harmony within the kitchen environment without compromising performance.
Among the products equipped with the Sound Pro technology available on several models of all the most important Faber’s wide range of hoods (T-Shape, Built-In, Ceiling, Vertical and Suspended), the True Double Black hood of Faber's Vertical line represents the ideal combination of curved shapes, precious materials and high performance, in terms of acoustic comfort as well.
The quietness of a Library with Sil & Still technology
Based on the careful study of aerodynamic flows within the hood and the targeted sound insulation of the resulting noise-generating areas in the hood through the use of special materials, Sil & Still technology reduces noise in the kitchen, allowing you to achieve the ideal comfort for living your space in total freedom and silence.
An avant-garde technology conceived by Faber that is present in the Onyx T hood with an energy class rating of A++, characterised by an elegant and refined design as well as high performance in terms of suction and silence. Thanks to Sil & Still Technology, a maximum power noise level of only 52 db (A) is achieved. But its wonders do not end there: by activating the Eco Function, which combines the effects of the Sil & Still with those of the exclusive Brushless motor, it is also possible to switch to ultra-quiet mode below 40 db (A), achieving a continuous exchange of air in the room for 24 hours, silently and with minimal consumption.
Minimised noise thanks to External Remote Motor
The integration of a remote motor (known as Remote Blower by Faber) in cooker hoods is one of the most efficient solutions for reducing noise when working to improve indoor air quality.
In this case, the hood motor is designed to be installed externally, rather than inside the hood itself. A provision that makes it possible to reduce the noise level inside the living space compared to traditional internal motors, while maintaining very high performance, since the reduction in noise is given solely by distance.
In this case, the user has two options:
- Buy an external motor: in Faber’s Heaven 2.0 and Stilo, the compact size and low weight of the motor (just 7 kg for Faber) allows the unit to be placed outside the house, usually on the roof or outside wall. Inside, only an elegant and refined hood will remain, with all the advantages that this brings; you will be able to breathe pure air in the kitchen and at the same time live in a quiet and peaceful environment.
- Purchase a remote motor kit for maximum comfort in the entire living area. It is a set of components that allows the motor of a cooker hood to be installed in another area of the house up to a maximum distance of 6 metres. This option is only available for certain cooker hoods: among the Faber models that make the remote motor kit available are the Bella Silence ceiling hood and the Chloè island hood.
In addition to being an advantageous solution for maintaining a quiet environment in domestic or commercial kitchens, the external remote motor can also be a solution choice for kitchens with limited space or specific layouts that do not allow the installation of an internal hood motor.
As a final point, thanks to the latest anti-noise technologies, the kitchen environment takes on a whole new tranquillity. Solutions such as Sound Pro, Sil & Still and Remote Blower now offer a disturbance-free cooking experience, combining high performance with appreciable acoustic comfort. A crucial development for a home space that can be said to be welcoming and healthy in all its increased functions.
