So what's really different about DuraMount?

Well, it's got something to do with the name, as it is different than traditional insert rangehoods. Let's break it down:

Traditional Insert Rangehoods:

Generally installed directly into a cabinet or custom wood housing, such as a shell

Require brackets and screws that do not mount directly into the wall, but only into the fixture, like the cabinet or shell

Require the shell or cabinet to be made to support a specific amount of weight

More likely to have gaps along the lips of the appliance

Harder to install because of the weight and attachment points

DuraMount Rangehoods:

Installed directly against the wall

Increases the durability of the installation, as the appliance can hit multiple studs in the wall to help support the weight of the appliance

Allows for a simplified installation of the custom shell around the insert

Gives the customers far more options in terms of materials and designs used to wrap around the insert

Gives installers confidence in the longevity of the install

Allows for a tighter fitting shell to reduce gaps and improve appearance

As for the baffle filters, there is no difference in the design or installation of the DuraMount baffle filters compared to our other range hoods that use baffle channels and filters.

Note: Grease cups are also installed the same way!
