Wind Crest Brings Drama Back to the Kitchen with the New Contemporary Line of Glass Designer HoodsPowerful Enough for the Serious Cook, Yet Sleek Enough for the Most Discriminating Designer

LAS VEGAS (May 8, 2007) - Appliances like the cooktop, stove and refrigerator seem to get all the attention in the kitchen. That is all about to change as Wind Crest™, a leading manufacturer of cooktops and ventilation systems, introduces its new line of eye-catching Designer Hoods. Made to compliment contemporary kitchen decor, Wind Crest's Falcon and Stealth Chimney-style hoods are destined to become the focal point of newly remodeled kitchens. The high performance Designer Hoods are not only visually stunning, featuring ultra-modern glass shaped canopies, but work hard to clean the air and silently rid the kitchen of odors, smoke, vapors and even grease.

Falcon Designer Hood

A beautiful addition to any modern kitchen, the Falcon Chimney Hood features a graceful S-curved clear glass canopy with stainless steel filter housing and chimney extension. Standard features include a 600 CFM internal blower, electronic controls, seamless construction and a chimney extension that accommodates up to a 9-foot ceiling. Accessories include a canopy extension for 10-foot ceilings and recirculating filter kit for ductless applications. Available in sizes to accommodate a 30- or 36-inch width cooktop, the Falcon Hood adds instant drama for either a wall or island configuration.

With its straight lines and eye-catching Europa-grey glass canopy, the Stealth Chimney Hood compliments the most state-of-the-art kitchen. Available in 30- and 36-inch widths, this hood isn't just considered deadly to odors and grease; its sleek styling will make it the center of attention. The Stealth can also be converted for ductless applications, as well as 10-foot ceilings.

Featuring standard 20-gauge stainless steel construction, seamless welded edges and electronic controls with three blower settings, Wind Crest's Falcon and Stealth hoods are powerful enough to work with high performance gas, electric or induction cooking equipment. The new hoods are also great conversation pieces for company to enjoy. They also feature Halogen lighting with dual 50-watt lamps and Wind Crest's QuickRelease™ aluminum-mesh, dishwasher safe filters.
