Franke at the forefront of design and innovation
Published:  17 November, 2010

Franke is the world's largest manufacturer of decorative hoods and continually strives to be at the forefront of design and innovation while pushing the boundaries of technology. The company’s products have been designed to build on the success of previous portfolios, are user-focused and have updated aesthetics and streamlined profiles.

Brick Sil-K

Through extensive research and sophisticated dynamic simulations, Franke has identified the major cause of noise in hoods and has launched two new hoods to beat it – the Decorative Brick Sil-K 90 and Decorative Brick Sil-K Island. Perfect for open-plan living, soundproofing partitions in the hoods, which increase sound absorbing surfaces, eliminate noise flow in favour of silent air flow. Sil-K technology therefore cancels out sound emissions coming from the diffuser and filters, thereby reducing hood sound power by 12DB (A). 16 hoods equipped with Silk-K technology make the same amount of noise as one standard hood!

Swing Hood

Franke boasts the cutting-edge Swing cooker hood in a white glass finish in addition to the black glass finish. Offering a bold statement which embraces monochrome colour, the Swing hood provides a stylish and sophisticated fashion statement. The novel hood features a stainless steel exterior façade that swings open in the middle to reveal bold, inset lighting. Its eight-speed – plus the ‘intensive’ setting option – touch control extractor features quality technology, including optional remote-controlled operation (making it perfect for open-plan kitchen-diners and those with special needs). In addition, its 24-hour continuous ventilation provides a constant flow of fresh air in the kitchen all day long.

Neptune Soft

The increased popularity of open-plan living has pushed cooker hoods into the limelight. Visible from anywhere on the ground floor of a home, looks are a top priority, which is where the sleek profile of the Franke Neptune Soft extractor in crisp stainless steel hits the jackpot. However, a look behind the scenes also reveals highly efficient extraction technology, powerful enough to keep an open-plan kitchen clear of steam, smoke and odours. This precision extraction is all thanks to an innovative Air Curtain function – which creates a curtain of air in front of the hob, confining and channelling cooking vapours into the extraction area.

Active Island

Setting a benchmark in state-of-the art design and manufacture, the Active Island decorative hood from Franke takes this contemporary collection to greater heights. Its sleek profile makes it a fantastic option for island installations and those who require a little more room to manoeuvre whilst cooking! The Active Island hood shares the same powerful extraction capabilities contained within all Franke hoods and will remove virtually all steam and strong cooking odours from the kitchen.
