Brushed dark zinc reveals subtle burnishing along its surface, a tactile cue to its handcrafted origin. This model works well in most kitchen styles—from rustic farmhouse to modern industrial—thanks to its ability to complement both warm woods and cool metals.

At 60 inches, the Wall Island Zinc Range Hood delivers unmatched scale and impact for grand kitchens and culinary centers.

The symmetrical riveted straps guide the eye vertically, while the wide apron creates a natural visual anchor above the range. Ideal for luxury homes, custom builds, or hospitality spaces, this size ensures strong ventilation performance and high design impact. Despite its size, the hood retains its handcrafted charm. The polished dark zinc finish has a rich tonal complexity, with warm silver and charcoal undertones that shift under different lighting. Its dramatic presence suits kitchens with statement features—oversized islands, stone walls, or open-concept layouts. This 60-inch model is built to be admired, yet it remains fully functional with ducting and insert fan compatibility. Its scale offers design opportunities beyond the kitchen, such as in large outdoor grill areas or butler’s pantries with professional appliances. It is the definition of form meeting function. For designers and homeowners seeking a custom metal statement that doesn’t compromise on utility, this hood represents the pinnacle of handmade luxury.

Dark Polished Zinc Finish

The hallmark of the Wall Island Zinc Range Hood is its refined dark zinc finish, as seen in this detailed image. The surface features a burnished, hand-polished texture that brings depth and contrast to the material. Unlike mass-produced metal surfaces, this handcrafted zinc develops its own character over time—gradually aging into richer hues of silver, charcoal, and slate. Subtle brush lines move across the hood like natural grain, lending movement and warmth to the piece. The matte sheen catches light gently, never appearing too shiny or flat. This finish pairs beautifully with rustic, industrial, farmhouse, or transitional interiors. It complements both warm elements like terracotta tile and reclaimed wood, as well as cooler tones like marble, glass, and stainless steel. The finish is protected yet reactive, allowing it to evolve and gain patina with each year of use. It’s more than a color—it’s a living surface that tells the story of your kitchen. This image reminds us that the soul of a handcrafted hood lies in its finish, and with zinc, every imperfection becomes part of its personality. It is as tactile as it is visual, a material that feels old, modern, and timeless all at once.

Handcrafting in the Workshop

This behind-the-scenes image takes you into the workshop where the Wall Island Zinc Range Hood comes to life. Here, a skilled artisan measures, folds, and joins each metal panel by hand, shaping the hood's signature flare and angles with precision. The workshop is filled with raw materials, templates, and traditional tools—evidence of a process guided not by machines but by experience. Rivets are individually placed, and strapping is aligned to ensure structural integrity and symmetry. Each hood begins as a flat sheet of zinc and transforms, through hours of detailed work, into a functional sculpture. This process is where design meets soul. It’s not just fabrication—it’s craftsmanship that honors heritage and durability. Watching the piece evolve in this environment reminds us that what ends up in the kitchen is more than a venting system. It’s a hand-built product made with attention, patience, and pride. For homeowners seeking meaning behind the material, this workshop view is a testament to authenticity. It also guarantees that every range hood is unique, bearing the maker’s touch and the subtle variations that make artisan goods so desirable. This is what separates custom metalwork from factory production—it’s built to be beautiful, and to last.
