Showcasing Stainless Steel Fabrication: Custom Range Hood Design and Build

A new homeowner recently contacted RC Portable Welding & Fabrication for help with their kitchen design. They called after viewing our custom metal fabrication services online, seeking a solution for their new home construction. The homeowner needed a custom range hood to fit their unique kitchen layout and design preferences.

During our initial phone conversation, they asked if we could fabricate a stainless steel range hood to match their specifications. We explained our process, which included an on-site meeting, assessing their design ideas, and offering powder coat color samples to help finalize the look.

Meeting Design and Functional Needs

When we met the homeowner, it was clear they had done thorough research. Standard range hood options wouldn’t work for their space, and they wanted a stainless steel hood with a custom color finish that matched their kitchen’s design. We collaborated on measurements, the design, and material selection to create a product that met their functional and aesthetic needs. The homeowner selected a gray powder coat finish with polished stainless steel trim for a sophisticated and cohesive look.

Once the specifications were confirmed, we fabricated the range hood in-house. This included integrating internal brackets for the exhaust fan and preparing the unit for final assembly. After powder coating the hood, we attached the polished trim and exhaust fan before delivering it to the residence. The hood was installed in the kitchen, perfectly complementing the home’s modern style.

Why Custom Stainless Steel Fabrication Was Needed

The homeowner required a range hood that couldn’t be sourced off the shelf. Their unique kitchen space dimensions and desire for a personalized design called for a custom solution. Stainless steel fabrication allowed us to meet their needs, offering durability, a high-end appearance, and the ability to incorporate the exact size, shape, and colors they wanted.

The Process and Tools Used

Fabricating the custom range hood involved advanced tools and precision work. We shaped and assembled the stainless steel components using a CNC plasma cutting table, hydraulic shear, plate roller, punch press, and welding equipment. Every step, from cutting the material to the final installation, was handled with care.

The project took about ten days from the first phone call to the final installation at the homeowner’s new place on Lauderdale Lake. We worked quickly to help them keep their kitchen project on track without any delays.

Delivering Quality Stainless Steel Fabrication

The homeowner was thrilled with their custom stainless steel range hood, which became a centerpiece of their new kitchen. This project showcases the benefits of stainless steel fabrication, from its versatility to its ability to deliver custom solutions for non-standard spaces.
