Venting Hobs

Venting hobs integrate an induction or gas cooking surface with a built-in downdraft extractor, removing the need for a separate cooker hood entirely. When cooking begins, a panel rises from the hob surface to draw steam and odours downwards through the hob body and via a duct beneath the floor or through the base cabinetry.

Bora is the pioneer and market leader in integrated venting hob technology, with a product range that sets the standard for extraction performance, noise level, and design. Their systems are particularly well suited to island cooking zones in open-plan kitchens where a ceiling or overhead hood would be visually intrusive or structurally complex to install.

Woodalls is an authorised Bora dealer and regularly specifies their venting hobs for kitchen projects across NW London. The Bora Basic, Classic, and Pro systems offer different hob types and extraction capacities to suit different kitchen sizes and cooking intensities. Our showroom team can advise on ducting requirements, motor options, and how these systems perform in practice.
