Product Description
This curved zinc range hood with polished copper straps combines a tall sculptural profile with flowing hourglass curves and warm mixed-metal detailing. The narrow upper body transitions through a defined waist before expanding into a broad lower canopy, creating movement without relying on crown molding or heavy ornament. Smooth zinc provides a cool silver-gray field, while polished hammered copper straps trace the contours vertically and horizontally. Domed copper rivets introduce measured handcrafted detail at each band. Available from 28 to 78 inches wide and 24 to 72 inches high, this made-to-order hood can be configured for wall or kitchen island installation. Natural, dark, and hand-polished zinc finishes are available in smooth or hammered textures. Order this custom zinc and copper range hood for a distinctive mixed-metal kitchen focal point.

Ventilation Policy
This range hood supports buyer-supplied inserts up to 1,260 CFM and external blower systems up to 1,500 CFM. Complete insert or blower specifications should be supplied before production, including the brand, model, body dimensions, liner cutout, duct size, discharge location, controls, lighting, filters, and service-access requirements. Rustica House can also supply an optional 200 CFM insert. Providing ventilation specifications before fabrication allows the interior of the hood to be prepared for the selected equipment.
Curved Mixed-Metal Design
The defining feature is the relationship between the flowing zinc canopy and the structured copper framework. Rather than using a conventional straight taper, the body narrows through the middle before sweeping outward toward the cooking surface. This produces an hourglass profile that appears noticeably different from rectangular, pyramidal, and standard bell-shaped metal hoods. The copper straps follow this changing geometry, emphasizing the curves instead of concealing them.
Why This Hood
This design is particularly effective when the range hood is intended to become an architectural centerpiece. Zinc keeps the large canopy visually restrained with its cooler gray coloring, while polished copper introduces warmth in controlled areas. The combination works well with kitchens that already mix wood, stone, plaster, iron, brass, bronze, or other natural materials. Its detailing is expressive without depending on carved molding or elaborate applied decoration.
What Makes It Different
The copper treatment distinguishes this model from zinc hoods that use only an apron band or a pair of vertical straps. Here, the trim creates a framework across the entire canopy. Vertical bands emphasize height, while horizontal straps define the upper section, narrow waist, and broad lower body. Rounded rivets repeat across these bands, producing an organized rhythm over the curved zinc surface.
Hood Design
The upper section remains relatively narrow and vertical, giving the hood height without excessive visual mass. The sides then curve inward before opening into the broad capture area. This controlled transition creates the characteristic sculptural profile. At the bottom, a substantial copper-trimmed apron visually grounds the canopy above the cooktop. Viewed from an angle, the curved sides make the form appear dimensional rather than flat or box-like.

| Wall or island build | Flexible kitchen layouts | Specify mount before production |
Material and Finish
The main body is formed from zinc, producing a cool metallic background for the warmer copper accents. Natural zinc has a soft silver-gray appearance and develops tonal variation as it ages. A darkened finish creates greater contrast with the copper, while hand polishing produces a brighter metal surface. Smooth zinc emphasizes the continuous curves; hammered zinc introduces additional reflected movement and a more visibly handcrafted character.
Copper Strapwork
The straps are hammered copper with a polished finish that highlights their worked texture. Vertical bands follow the hood's curved profile from the upper section toward the apron, while horizontal bands establish distinct architectural divisions. Because the copper follows the changing contour of the canopy, the straps reinforce the hourglass geometry rather than appearing as decoration applied to an otherwise unrelated form.
Riveted Details
Domed copper rivets are positioned along the straps to create consistent visual rhythm. Their rounded surfaces catch light differently from the hammered bands and smoother zinc body. The rivets also reference traditional hand-built metalwork, adding detail without covering the broad zinc panels. Small differences in rivet positioning, strap alignment, hammering, seams, and finish tone are normal characteristics of individual handcrafted production.
Best Kitchen Styles
- Rustic Farmhouse: Warm wood cabinetry, exposed beams, stone counters, handmade tile, and aged hardware complement the zinc and copper mix.
- Industrial Loft: Brick, concrete, steel windows, dark cabinetry, and raw wood reinforce the riveted mixed-metal construction.
- Mediterranean: Plaster walls, limestone, travertine, warm wood, and handmade tile pair naturally with the curved zinc body and copper straps.
- Modern Mixed-Metal: Flat-panel cabinetry, restrained stone surfaces, and contemporary hardware let the sculptural canopy become the main architectural feature.

FAQ – Zinc Copper Hood
A: Its narrow waist, flowing hourglass canopy, extensive hammered copper strapwork, and domed rivets create a more sculptural composition than a conventional tapered zinc hood.
A: Natural, darkened, and hand-polished zinc finishes are available. The body can also be ordered with either a smooth or hammered surface.
A: Copper naturally responds to its environment and may gradually deepen or vary in tone. These changes are characteristic of genuine copper and contribute to its living finish.
A: Yes. The hood can be produced for wall-mount or kitchen island installation. The mounting configuration should be specified before fabrication.
A: Yes. Buyer-supplied internal inserts up to 1,260 CFM and external blower systems up to 1,500 CFM can be accommodated when complete specifications are supplied before production.
Order Your Hood
Select the width, height, zinc finish, surface texture, mounting configuration, and ventilation arrangement for your project. The combination of a curved zinc canopy and polished hammered copper straps makes this design particularly suited to kitchens where the ventilation hood is intended to function as a visible piece of architectural metalwork. Submit the required dimensions and ventilation specifications before production so the proportions and internal preparation can be coordinated with your kitchen.

Care and Maintenance
Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water for routine cleaning, then dry the metal thoroughly. Avoid abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, acidic cleaners, and aggressive polishing products that can alter the intended finish. Zinc and copper are living metals, so gradual changes in tone and patina are expected. Review the zinc range hood care and maintenance guide for detailed cleaning and long-term finish recommendations.
Installation Guide
Confirm the hood dimensions, mounting height, structural support, duct route, and ventilation equipment before fabrication. Wall-mounted models require suitable framing or blocking, while island versions require secure overhead support and finished construction on all visible sides. For additional preparation information, review the metal range hood installation guide before ordering.
Shipping & Returns
Production lead time is about six weeks, with approximately eight weeks in total for production and delivery. Shipping is free to the USA mainland. Review the shipping and returns page for current receiving instructions, delivery conditions, and applicable return information.
