Product Description
The simple under-cabinet copper range hood combines clean architectural lines, handcrafted 16-gauge copper, and a hand-aged dark brown patina in a made-to-order design for installation beneath or between upper cabinets. Its rectangular upper body, broad sloped front, flat side panels, and deep boxed apron create a streamlined profile without straps, rivets, crown molding, or decorative overlays. Available from 24 to 78 inches wide, with custom height and depth adjustments, it can be proportioned around cabinetry, cooking-surface width, and approved ventilation equipment. The smooth, lightly brushed surface adds warmth while preserving a restrained character suited to modern farmhouse, transitional, organic modern, and contemporary rustic kitchens. Review additional layouts in the under-cabinet copper hood gallery. Send your cabinet opening, mounting height, duct route, and insert specifications for a tailored quote.
Product Summary
- Material: Handcrafted 16-gauge copper
- Profile: Rectangular body with sloped face
- Finish: Hand-aged dark brown patina
- Mount: Under-cabinet installation
- Width: 24–78 inches or custom
- Ventilation: Ducted or recirculating
Compact Hood Benefits
Under-cabinet installation preserves upper storage while positioning ventilation directly above the cooking surface. The straight upper section fits beneath cabinetry, and the sloped front adds capture depth without requiring a full-height chimney. Custom fabrication allows the shell to follow the available opening instead of forcing the kitchen plan around a standard appliance enclosure.
Ventilation Policy
Rustica House supplies an optional 200 CFM insert only. This hood supports buyer-supplied internal inserts up to 1,260 CFM and external blower systems up to 1,500 CFM when complete specifications are provided before production. Submit the manufacturer, model, liner dimensions, cutout, duct size, discharge direction, controls, lighting, filters, and service requirements. Buyer-supplied equipment provides flexibility in airflow, blower type, controls, lighting, appearance, ducting, and price.
Design Difference
Many copper hoods rely on hammered fields, decorative straps, exposed rivets, crown molding, or carved apron profiles. This model removes those elements and uses proportion, surface tone, and one broad sloped plane to define its appearance. The uninterrupted body creates a quieter alternative for kitchens where cabinetry, stone, and handmade tile should remain visually prominent.
Hood Design
The rectangular upper section creates a clean connection with surrounding cabinets. A wide front panel slopes outward toward the range, while flat sides preserve the simple geometry from angled views. The boxed apron frames the ventilation area and forms a strong horizontal base. Without applied trim, the copper reads as one continuous architectural volume.
Planning Details
Confirm the cabinet opening, cooktop width, mounting height, hood depth, duct route, and insert model before fabrication.
| Planning Item | Available Choice | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 24–78 inches or custom | Coordinates with cooktop and cabinets |
| Height | Custom up to 72 inches | Fits the available cabinet opening |
| Depth | 12-inch top, 24-inch bottom | Sets projection and capture area |
| Surface | Smooth, brushed, or lightly hammered | Changes texture and reflected light |
| Insert | Optional or buyer supplied | Controls internal preparation |
Material & Finish
The featured hood uses smooth 16-gauge copper with light brushing and a dark brown patina. The low satin sheen reveals broad tonal movement without the sharper highlights produced by deep hammering. Available treatments may include coffee brown, antique, natural fired copper, green oxidized copper, and hand-polished copper. Compare options in the copper patina finish guide.
Shape & Profile
A straight upper body fits below cabinetry, while the front panel slopes outward toward the range. This adds depth where capture is needed and keeps the top visually compact. Flat side panels and straight lower edges reinforce the restrained form, making the hood suitable where a full chimney would interrupt cabinets, shelving, or a nearby window.
Boxed Apron
The broad rectangular apron gives the base enough visual weight to balance the sloped canopy. It also defines space for the insert opening, filters, lighting, and controls. The apron remains straight and undecorated, allowing it to coordinate with both framed cabinetry and contemporary slab fronts.
Custom Dimensions
Widths range from 24 to 78 inches, while height and depth can be adjusted around the cabinet opening and approved insert. A hood matching or slightly exceeding the cooktop width may improve balance and capture, depending on mounting height and ventilation performance. Final measurements must account for support, clearances, ductwork, electrical service, and filter access.
Made In Mexico
Each hood is handmade to order in Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico. Artisans cut and form the copper, refine the seams and edges, brush the visible panels, and develop the patina by hand. Smooth surfaces reveal alignment more readily than heavily textured metal, so this minimal design requires careful fabrication. Slight differences in tone, seams, tool marks, and surface movement are expected.
Artisan Testimony
Juan Carlos Hernández notes that a simple hood demands careful forming because every line remains visible. Learn more about Juan Carlos Hernández and his copperworking tradition.

How Ordering Works
Provide the cabinet opening, cooktop width, mounting height, desired dimensions, selected patina, surface texture, duct route, and complete insert specifications. Rustica House confirms the upper body, front slope, apron depth, insert opening, internal framing, and mounting points before production. Later changes may affect fit, cabinet clearances, duct alignment, or service access.

Installation Guide
Secure the hood to cabinet and wall framing capable of supporting the copper shell, insert, ductwork, and electrical components. Confirm mounting height, appliance clearances, duct diameter, discharge direction, filter access, and cabinet openings before fabrication. Review the metal range hood installation guide during planning.
Shipping & Returns
Each hood is made to order and packed for insured freight transport. Inspect the shipment at delivery and document visible damage before signing. Production timing, freight procedures, custom-order conditions, and return eligibility are explained on the shipping and returns page.
Warranty
Manufacturing coverage, finish exclusions, installation responsibilities, and buyer-supplied ventilation terms are described in the Rustica House warranty. Natural patina movement and handmade variation are not manufacturing defects.
Care & Maintenance
Clean copper with mild soap and a soft cloth, then dry the surface promptly. Avoid abrasive pads, acidic cleaners, aggressive degreasers, ammonia, and metal polish unless approved for the selected finish. Water spots, brighter contact areas, and gradual tonal changes are normal characteristics of an evolving copper patina. Review the copper range hood cleaning and care guide for additional maintenance and finish-protection recommendations.
Disclaimer: This product is handmade. Variations in copper tone, patina, brushing, seams, dimensions, tool marks, and artisan surface movement are natural characteristics of custom metalwork.
