30-Inch Copper Range Hood with Insert & Lights

This handcrafted 30-inch copper range hood by Rustica House marries artisanal beauty with modern functionality, delivering a statement piece for your kitchen. Offered with free shipping within the U.S. mainland, it suits both wall-mounted and island installations, allowing you to tailor the design to your layout. Each hood is made to order from premium 16-gauge recycled copper, hand-hammered to create a warm, rustic patina that complements Tuscan and Old-World Italian aesthetics. Whether you’re renovating a historic villa or designing a contemporary farmhouse, this range hood elevates your space with its refined silhouette and integrated lighting and insert options.

Design Inspiration & Old-World Charm

The 30-inch copper range hood draws inspiration from the grand kitchens of Tuscany and Spain, where the hearth served as the heart of the home. In its wall-mounted form, the hood adopts a pyramid profile—clean, structured, and reminiscent of classic Italian campaniles. For island setups, the silhouette transforms into an elegant octagon, offering visual depth and a 360° focal point perfect for open-concept spaces. Decorative moldings crown the top, while upper and lower apron trim bands create balanced proportions. Subtle flaring at the base enhances capture efficiency and emphasizes the hood’s handcrafted contours.

Masterful Hand-Hammered Craftsmanship

Artisans in Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico, forge each hood over charcoal-fired forges. Starting with flat sheets of 16-gauge copper, the metal is heated, shaped, and meticulously hammered by hand. The resulting random hammer marks catch and diffuse light, accentuating the copper’s natural tonal variations—from honey-gold highlights to rich amber shadows. Soldered seams remain invisible, preserving the hood’s monolithic appearance. A multi-stage patination process imparts a warm, rustic finish that deepens with age, blending seamlessly with stone, plaster, and reclaimed wood in classic Mediterranean interiors.

Integrated Insert & Lighting System

Function meets beauty with our optional blower insert and integrated LED lighting. The blower insert—rated between 600 and 900 CFM—ensures rapid removal of smoke, steam, and cooking odors, while stainless steel baffle filters trap grease effectively and are dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. Discreetly mounted within the canopy, the insert operates quietly at under 60 dB, thanks to vibration-dampening mounts and insulated housing. Integrated LED downlights provide bright, energy-efficient illumination over your cooking surface, enhancing visibility without disrupting the hood’s elegant profile. Control options include simple rocker switches or an electronic touchpad.

Installation & Configuration Options

This hood adapts to both wall-mounted and island configurations.

In island mode, the octagonal canopy hangs from an adjustable ceiling plate with suspension rods, creating a floating centerpiece above your cooktop. Ducted venting uses rigid 6″–8″ metal ductwork; for retrofits, a ductless recirculation kit with charcoal filters is available. Detailed mounting templates and hardware are provided to simplify professional installation and guarantee proper clearances—28–32″ above electric cooktops and 30–36″ above gas ranges.

Styling & Pairing Recommendations

The 30-inch copper range hood’s Tuscan aesthetic pairs beautifully with:

• Stone Countertops: Honed limestone, marble, or granite in neutral tones
• Cabinetry: Shaker-style wood cabinets in warm stains or painted muted greens
• Backsplashes: Hand-painted encaustic tiles, subway tiles with stone grout
• Accents: Wrought iron light fixtures, open wood shelving, and terracotta flooring

For an island installation, surround the hood with a custom wood beam or metal canopy to reinforce the kitchen’s architectural rhythm. Under-cabinet or toe-kick lighting enhances ambiance and safety.

Maintenance & Care Guidelines

Preserve the hood’s beauty and performance with straightforward care:

1. Weekly Cleaning: Wipe copper surfaces with a soft cloth and warm water; avoid abrasive cleaners.
2. Patina Preservation: Apply a thin coat of beeswax polish every 6–12 months to maintain the finish and protect against moisture.
3. Filter Upkeep: Remove and wash baffle filters monthly or as needed; replace charcoal filters in ductless setups every 6–12 months.
4. Hardware Inspection: Check mounting brackets, suspension rods, and blower mounts annually for tightness.
