What Gives the Berkeley Stainless Steel Range Hood Its Distinctive Look?
A stock hood gives you a fixed look. The Berkeley Stainless Steel Range Hood starts with bold sweeping curves and refined accents and lets you adjust the size, finish and details from there. You do not have to make the finish decision from a screen. Bloom offers free sample tiles, one-on-one help from a master designer, secure ordering through a U.S.-based company and free shipping within the 48 continental U.S. states.
The Berkeley Stainless Steel Range Hood: Custom Proportions, Distinctive Form
At first glance, the Berkeley Stainless Steel Range Hood is all about bold sweeping curves and refined accents. Look closer and the practical side matters just as much: 16-gauge 304 stainless steel construction, made-to-order dimensions and configurable ventilation turn the design into a working part of the kitchen.
- A Profile with Personality: The Berkeley gets its visual character from bold sweeping curves and refined accents, not from a generic stock shell.
- Sized for the Space: Adjust the key dimensions so the hood relates cleanly to the range and surrounding cabinetry.
- Built from Substantial Metal: 16-gauge 304 stainless steel gives the hood a durable body with a crisp, clean metal look.
- Airflow for the Way You Cook: Pair the hood with a ventilation option suited to your cooking setup.
- Long-Term Structural Coverage: Every hood includes bloom range hoods’ lifetime structural guarantee.
Size Your Stainless Steel Range Hood Around the Way You Cook, For Everyday Cooking
Start with the room: range width, cabinet spacing, ceiling height and the amount of cooking you do. Those choices guide the proportions and ventilation for the Berkeley. TIG-welded construction gives the finished hood a clean, durable structure built for everyday use.
- Clean Welded Structure: TIG welding brings strength to the body without bulky seams.
- Room-Specific Sizing: Build the hood around the actual space above your range.
- Installation Flexibility: Select the appropriate mounting configuration for the design.
- Cooking-Focused Airflow: Choose ventilation with everyday cooking needs in mind.
- Easy-Care Surface Options: Protective finish choices help keep maintenance straightforward.
Make the Berkeley Stainless Steel Hood Stand Out with Custom Finishes
This is where the Berkeley gets personal. Choose from Bloom’s available stainless steel finish and texture options and decide how much contrast you want between the main body and decorative details. Free sample tiles let you compare options beside the actual materials in your kitchen before making the final call.
Want the Berkeley to blend in? Keep the finish and accents close in tone. Want it to own the room? Push the contrast and let the profile do more of the talking.
A Stainless Steel Range Hood Built to Play Well with More Than One Style — For a Kitchen Built Your Way
The Berkeley does not have to live in one design category. Its bold sweeping curves and refined accents can feel more traditional with layered finishes and decorative accents, or more current when the palette stays restrained and the surrounding lines stay clean.
Scale matters as much as style on the Berkeley. Adjusting the dimensions around the range and cabinetry helps the finished hood feel deliberate, even when the design is meant to stand out.
Make Your Custom Kitchen Hood Yours with bloom — With Style to Spare
Your Berkeley Stainless Steel Range Hood starts with the room you already have and the look you want to create. Work directly with bloom range hoods’ master designer to sort through dimensions, finish, accents and ventilation without bouncing between layers of salespeople.
Go quiet with the details on the Berkeley, or make it the first thing people notice. Either way, the finished piece is customized to order around your range, cabinetry and style.
