In the west, open kitchens are very common. However, Chinese and western eating habits are completely different. The heavy oil fume in China kitchen is obviously the hardest hit area for family hygiene. If you want an open kitchen and don't want to change your eating habits, you don't have to worry about the lampblack problem as long as you master some skills. So, how to design an open kitchen partition to block the oil smoke?

methods/steps

the glass wall is both transparent and smoke-proof

Practical index: ★★★★★ ★

Many people want the kitchen to have both an open function and smoke-proof, so it is better to use the glass wall to deal with it. This is transparent and can play a barrier role, but also very sound insulation, the noise in the kitchen is basically inaudible outside.

the most important thing to make a glass wall is to find a glass-inlaid frame. At present, there are stainless steel and wood in the market, and the price difference is quite large. If the sliding door is used, there are many options such as fixed slide rail and hanging rail. If the hardware of the sliding door is not good, the push-pull device will be easily damaged after a long time. With ordinary hinged doors, it is impossible to stand the test of time only by relying on the occlusal force of the hinges. We can consider using ground springs, and the doors can be opened and closed freely whether inward or outward.

Reminder: The disadvantage of glass wall is that you can't hang something on it like a light wall, but it can only be used for partition and decoration, but it is much better than a light wall in transparency. But the glass needs to be cleaned frequently, otherwise it will be difficult to clean because of the large oil fume and the accumulation of dirt over a long time. If the area of the glass wall is too large, it will be more troublesome to clean.

partial opening and proper shielding

Practical index: ★★★★

Some people don't want to close the kitchen completely, but want to make it semi-partitioned. In fact, there are many semi-partitioned ways between the kitchen and other areas, such as bar partitions and glass, stainless steel, curtains and other materials. However, this semi-partition method does not have much effect on preventing lampblack, and lampblack will not be blocked because of some partitions.

If the kitchen is partially open and only one window sill size communicates with the dining room, the effect of preventing oil smoke will be better. You can cover it with glass, curtains or other things when cooking, and then remove the baffle after cooking.

Reminder: For semi-open kitchens, pay attention to the outdoor wind direction, otherwise the smell of oil smoke will easily blow back into the house. It is suggested that the kitchen window should use shutters, and the refrigerator should not lean against the wall exposed to sunlight.

Increase the power of the range hood

Practical index: ★★★

Many people don't want to change the pattern of the open kitchen, so the best way is to increase the power of the range hood. Deep hood range hood takes oil absorption as the main goal, which is more suitable for Chinese kitchen.

The deep hood type range hood is designed with a deep smoke collecting hood, which avoids the spread of oil fume, has strong oil removal ability, is convenient to disassemble and wash, and is more practical for China families who often cook and like frying, frying, cooking and frying.

reminder: the kitchen needs a normal "air supply outlet". For example, some cracks must be left under the kitchen door, and some shutters and ventilation boards must be made on the door panels to continuously supplement the air. If there are no gaps in the doors and windows of the kitchen, the noise of the range hood will be particularly loud, and it is difficult to discharge the lampblack.
