In the heart of every kitchen, the range hood stands as both a functional necessity and a design statement. Our custom metal range hoods marry masterful craftsmanship with personalized style, offering you choices in hammered copper, wrought iron, or natural zinc—each available in the patina color of your choice. Whether your décor leans modern-minimal or warm-traditional, these vent hoods elevate your cooking space. All wall-mount and island configurations ship free within six weeks, arriving carefully crated to ensure pristine condition. Read on to discover why our range hoods are the best on the market.
The Craftsmanship Behind Every Hood
Each hood begins as a sheet of premium metal in our workshops, where skilled artisans employ time-honored techniques to shape, hammer, and weld every component by hand. The result is a surface alive with subtle hammer marks and handcrafted texture—details that simply cannot be replicated by mass-production. By partnering directly with coppersmiths and ironworkers in Mexico, we preserve their family legacies while delivering heirloom-quality pieces at competitive prices. Explore our full selection in the Iron Range Hood Collection to see the range of styles from rustic farmhouse to sleek industrial.
Material Mastery: Copper, Iron, and Zinc
Your choice of metal sets the stage for both form and function. Copper hoods develop a rich patina over time, transitioning from warm honey to deep espresso, while natural zinc offers a cool, silver-gray surface that ages with subtle nuance. Wrought iron, with its matte charcoal finish, provides bold contrast and a modern-industrial edge. Each material is thoroughly cleaned, sealed, and finished with your selected patina treatment—antique, rustic, or a custom blend—so the hood complements your cabinetry, countertops, and backsplash perfectly.
Signature Iron Designs for Industrial and Loft Kitchens
Wrought iron hoods make a dramatic focal point in open-concept and loft kitchens. The “San Antonio” Loft Kitchen Iron Vent Hood features welded vertical straps, riveted accents, and a distressed crown molding—bridging mission-style warmth with urban industrial flair. Meanwhile, the “Ontario” Wrought Iron Range Hood incorporates smooth weld seams and integrated LED lighting for a refined, contemporary look. Both designs demonstrate how iron can be manipulated into sculptural forms that retain structural integrity and lasting beauty.
Personalized Sizing and Configurations
Whether your cooktop spans 24 inches or stretches to 60 inches, our hoods are made to order in exact widths, heights, and depths. Standard depth is 24 inches to optimize coverage and airflow without overcrowding your kitchen. Wall-mount hoods hug the backsplash for a streamlined profile, while island models float above your cooktop as a sculptural centerpiece. For hoods up to 42 inches wide, we include a discounted 200 CFM blower insert; wider units are pre-sized to accommodate your preferred high-performance blower.
Patina Perfection: Choosing Your Finish
Patina isn’t just surface color—it’s a living finish that interacts with light, moisture, and air over time. Choose from light antique, deep espresso, verdigris green, or custom shades to complement your kitchen’s palette. Our hand-applied patina techniques accentuate hammer marks and metal grain, creating one-of-a-kind variations. If you prefer the original luster, optional sealants preserve the finish; if you welcome natural aging, simply let your hood evolve organically as part of your kitchen’s history.
Performance You Can Trust
Style means little without function. Our hoods are engineered for optimal airflow, quiet operation, and reliable smoke evacuation. The Ontario model comes standard with a 250 CFM insert, washable stainless-steel filters, and integrated task lighting to illuminate your work surface. Copper and zinc hoods accommodate our cost-effective 200 CFM blower inserts or can be paired with commercial-grade blowers for serious cooking power. Each ventilation package undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets UL safety standards and delivers consistent performance.
Competitive Value through Mexican Artisanship
By forging partnerships with family-run workshops in Mexico, we merge artisanal tradition with scale-efficient production. This strategy allows us to offer luxury finishes—hand-hammered copper, riveted iron straps, and bespoke zinc molds—at prices up to 30% below typical North American custom-hood costs. The “Miami” Iron Range Hood exemplifies this, with its clean weld lines and antique distressing, all delivered at a fraction of the usual investment.
Free Delivery and Professional Support
We understand that timing is critical during a renovation. That’s why we offer free shipping—six-week lead time—to the US, Canada, and select international destinations. Your hood arrives in custom-crated packaging to prevent damage in transit. From initial consultation to post-installation guidance, our support team ensures your hood fits perfectly, integrates seamlessly with your ductwork, and continues to perform reliably for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix and match materials and finishes?
Absolutely. You might choose a copper chimney with an iron apron band or a zinc body with copper straps. Our design consultations help you visualize combinations that highlight contrasts or unify metal tones for a cohesive look.
How do I maintain my hood’s finish?
For sealed patinas, simply wipe with a soft cloth and mild soap as needed. For natural aging, occasional dusting and gentle polishing allow the metal to develop character. We can also provide copper wax or zinc sealant if you prefer to lock in the original hue.
What blower capacity do I need?
Most residential kitchens perform well with a 200–250 CFM insert, which we offer at a discounted rate. For professional-style cooking or larger cooktops, a 600 CFM commercial insert may be recommended. We’ll advise you based on your layout and cooking habits.
