If you’re wondering about the best ways to ensure proper ventilation in the kitchen, we have you covered. Here are some of the interior design practices that are bound to deliver excellent results, even if you do some heavy duty food preparation at home.
Understanding Kitchen Air Quality
Previously we mentioned the fact that cooking can impact air quality, why is that so?Moisture, especially if you do nothing about it, creates the perfect conditions for mould and mildew. Inhaling mould has been linked to various health problems – allergic reactions and asthma attacks being the most common ones. If you have children in the household or some of the family members experience respiratory problems, mould and mildew can be even more serious issues. Inhaling such gases and chemicals over a prolonged period of time can have negative effects, particularly on the respiratory system. That’s why you need high quality ventilation, preferably positioned directly above the food preparation appliances.
How to Improve Kitchen Air Quality
Ventilation
It is key to improve your kitchen's ventilation to remove the dangerous emissions mentioned previously. Range hoods are of vital importance for the prevention of kitchen air quality deterioration. And it’s not just about choosing the right brand. You also need to employ proper exploitation and you need to do range hood maintenance. That’s how you’re going to trap most of the fumes and grease particles. Regular filter changes are also required to ensure maximum efficiency.
Strategic window placement
Finally, consider the placement of kitchen windows and make sure they’re open often enough to allow fresh air inside. That’s a simple, very inexpensive and highly effective solution to the air quality problem.
