Introducing the Innovative Flat Side Hood for Peninsula Kitchens

Introducing the Flat Side Hood

In the world of kitchen design, the peninsula kitchen remains a popular choice due to its ability to balance efficient use of space with a welcoming aesthetic. Recognizing a growing demand for more streamlined designs, TOOLBOX has unveiled their latest innovation, the Flat Side Hood, on October 2, 2025. This product is specifically created for peninsula kitchens, eliminating the need for side walls or bulky duct covers, resulting in a clean, lightweight appearance that floats above your cooking area.

The Appeal of Peninsula Kitchens

The peninsula kitchen, characterized by its unique layout with one side open to the living space, presents both beauty and functionality. The Flat Side Hood was designed to be a perfect fit for this layout, serving as a side-mounted range hood that emphasizes both form and efficiency. By using this innovative design, homeowners can enjoy an unobstructed view and a sense of openness while cooking.

No Walls, No Problem

Traditionally, installing a range hood in a peninsula kitchen often involved erecting side walls to mount the hood. However, this method obstructs sight lines, detracting from the open feel that so many homeowners desire. To address this issue, the Flat Side Hood is mounted without the need for side walls or visible ducting, providing a cleaner aesthetic and improved airflow.

Innovative Features to Enhance Everyday Use

The Flat Side Hood represents an evolution in range hood design, with features focused on minimalism, practicality, and ease of use. Here are some of the standout features:

- Compact, Yet Powerful: Incorporating a powerful sirocco fan, the Flat Side Hood has a height of just 230mm. It spans 900mm in width to accommodate range stovetops appropriately, while its depth of 600mm ensures it maintains a lightweight appearance.
- Custom Bracket Design: The hood's original bracket allows for a side-mount setup that eliminates the need for hanging bolts, ensuring it remains sturdy and secure while being visually pleasing.
- Toggle Switch: Discreetly positioned on the underside, the toggle switch offers straightforward operation, making it easy to adjust the power and fan speed without interrupting the sleek design.
- Warm Lighting: The hood comes equipped with two downlights that illuminate the cooking area while complementing the home’s overall ambiance. The soft, warm tones of the lights ensure that the kitchen remains inviting without overpowering the living space’s aesthetic.

Sustainable and Stylish

Available in three finishes—vibration stainless steel, matte white, and black—the Flat Side Hood caters to various interior design preferences, allowing homeowners to choose a color that complements their kitchen and living space.

Advanced Smoke Capture Technology

The unique design of the Flat Side Hood is particularly suited for environments with high ceilings, where smoke can easily disperse. With a focus on efficient smoke and heat capture, it features innovatively designed slits that prevent dissipation, ensuring that any cooking emissions are effectively drawn out without causing disruption in the living area.

Creating New Kitchen Possibilities

The Flat Side Hood is a transformative addition to the kitchen space, making it possible to implement designs that were previously thought to be impractical. It empowers homeowners to fully embrace the peninsula kitchen layout without compromising on style or functionality.
