With the mezzanine floor completed, Ed was able to work on a design for installing the cooker hood over the hob. We had discussed the possibility of hanging it from chains from the beams, but felt that they would intrude on the clean lines of the living room interior. So when we were designing the layout of the mezzanine, we deliberately matched the outside edge above where the hob would be installed. By doing this we could suspend the cooker hood from the mezzanine to line up above the hob.
Ed welded a frame from the metal band around the extraction pipe on the outside edge of the mezzanine.
It looked rather precarious to me at the time, but I was assured that the structure was strong enough to support the cooker hood.
And sure enough it was still hanging there the following morning and works fine!
Of course, as with all things, it requires further work - a stainless steel cover where the hood would normally be fitted against the wall, and casing in the metal support structure.
