myCustomMade has been fabricating metal furnishings since 2002 and beside a stove hood, we supply made-to-order sinks, tables, soaking tubs, shelving and counter-tops. Our production facility is located in Mexico which specializes in Southern architectural elements and furnishings. We were manufacturing custom copper products for clients in California and other states along the border influenced by Spanish hacienda style which is typical to the region our production has been established, which is state of Michoacan in central Mexico.

Los Angeles hood comes in versions. It can be wall mount or central island. The first can be attached to the wall or ceiling while the second to the ceiling only. All our California style hoods are equipped with economy inserts. They are made by a known brand Teka and consist of double speed two hundred cubic feet per minute fan, two light and a set of filters. They are carbon activated which is practical when the hood is shipped as recirculating air to the kitchen. Of course, you can have it connected to the house exhaust pipe system moving cooktop and oven fumes outdoors.

California Hood Style

The hood has interesting styling. It has on the top a nice looking crown and resized about half an inch horizontal molding a foot below it. At the bottom, it has flat apron which helps to accommodate the ventilation system inside. As wall mount it has five sides and island eight of them. In general, regardless the metal island range hoods have the same look all around while the other has its back flat and not copper sheeting there so it can be connected to the kitchen vent pipe anywhere behind.
