A kitchen hood isn’t just a cover for a fan. When it’s carved in reclaimed limestone by Ancient Surfaces, it becomes structure, performance gear, and design language in one move. Here’s a fresh, non-generic take on why a limestone range hood surround earns its footprint in serious kitchens.
Our stone canopies are sculpted with a deeper throat and gentle bell that guide rising plumes toward your insert. That geometry boosts capture efficiency, so you can run a quieter setting on the blower and still clear steam, oils, and odors. Less noise, same clean air.
Limestone’s thermal mass buffers radiant heat from sauté pans and stockpots. By projecting the stone forward and down, the hood shadows adjacent cabinets and plaster, reducing warping and paint fatigue where most kitchens fail first.
A properly scaled stone hood gives the kitchen a true center line. We size projection and leg width to align with the island and walk aisles, making the cook’s path feel natural, less sidestep, more flow. Because we also craft limestone countertops, sinks, backsplashes, mantels, and floors, your hood completes a single material story the same tone, hand tooling, and patina repeating from room to room.
