Product Description
The tall tapered hand-hammered copper range hood for commercial and domestic kitchens combines a long tapered chimney with a compact lower capture skirt and restrained folded edges. Formed from 16-gauge copper, the body uses straight planes rather than bell curves, straps, rivets, or applied ornament. The 60-inch reference model places 70% of its height in the tapered chimney, 2% in the transition ledge, and 24% in the lower skirt, with the top crown occupying the remaining 4%. A standard 24-inch depth provides a practical capture area, while wall-mounted and finished island versions are available. The image shows an antique patina, but buyers may select five patina finishes or rustic hand-polished copper. Custom dimensions and ventilation preparation are confirmed through a buyer-approved production drawing. Examine the structural proportions, commercial and residential applications, insert compatibility, and fabrication details in our tapered copper hood planning guide.

Hood Custom Sizing
The 60-inch model establishes the original relationship between the crown, chimney, transition, and apron. Width, total height, depth, chimney taper, apron height, lower projection, and crown extension may be changed. Each section is recalculated together so the enclosure keeps its tall character.
Project Measurements
Provide the cooking-surface width, hood width, ceiling height, mounting height, depth, clearances, duct route, and selected insert. Island projects also require structural-support information.
Insert Planning
The copper body is fabricated as an insert-ready shell. For domestic kitchens, Rustica House can supply an optional 200 CFM insert, or prepare the enclosure for a buyer-provided internal insert up to 1,260 CFM or an external blower up to 1,500 CFM after review. Submit liner dimensions, controls, lighting, duct outlet, electrical needs, and service clearances before production.
Approval Drawing
When dimensions or chimney and apron proportions change, a project-specific production drawing is prepared around the approved insert. It documents exterior measurements, the lower opening, duct position, and principal section relationships for buyer approval. Production normally takes about eight weeks after final approval.
Design Difference
Unlike broad pyramidal or bell hoods, this model concentrates most of its height in the upper body and limits the lower flare to a compact section. It remains tall and linear while retaining a substantial capture area.
Tall Architecture
The front elevation forms a stepped double taper. The chimney widens gradually, meets a narrow ledge, and then flares toward the cooking surface without rounded sidewalls.
Flat Crown
The crown is formed from one crisp sheet-metal bend. It creates a clean upper shadow line without rolled tubing, rope molding, or a layered cornice.
Long Chimney
The chimney occupies approximately 42.6 inches of the 60-inch reference height. Its broad panels emphasize verticality, while closely spaced hammer impressions create controlled highlights.
Transition Ledge
The transition occupies approximately 1.2 inches. This narrow folded ledge reinforces the joint and clearly frames the lower capture section.
Compact Apron
The lower flare occupies approximately 13.8 inches and reaches the full standard depth. The wall version remains flat at the rear, while chimney and apron sections can be resized around the buyer's proportions and ventilation equipment.
Copper Finish
Dense hand hammering uses small, closely spaced impressions that soften reflections without hiding the straight geometry. The image shows an antique patina, but the hood is also offered in natural fired or coffee, honey patina. A rustic hand-polished and oxidized reveals brighter copper while preserving artisan variation available by order only.
Proportion Table
This schedule applies to the 60-inch reference model with aproximate proportions. Custom heights may be recalculated while preserving the same hierarchy.
| Section | Aproximate Share | Height |
| Top crown | 4% | 2 inches |
| Tapered chimney | 70% | 42 inches |
| Transition ledge | 2% | 1 inches |
| Lower skirt | 24% | 15 inches |
| Total | 100% | 60 inches |

PDF and CAD Downloads
The proportional PDF and DXF CAD drawing help visualize the standard shape and overall proportions of this range hood during design and planning. The DXF file shows the standard form and proportions only. Buyer-specific dimensions, chimney adjustments, apron modifications, insert openings, duct locations, and other production details are documented separately for customer approval before fabrication.
Mounting Options
The wall version has a flat rear plane. The island version has finished visible sides, balanced projection, ceiling-suspension preparation, and an approved duct route. Both require confirmed support and insert access.
Domestic Kitchens
Domestic applications include high-ceiling homes, wall cooking stations, kitchen islands, and 36- to 48-inch ranges. The optional 200 CFM insert may suit lighter use, while buyer-selected ventilation can be reviewed for higher-output cooking. Mounting height, duct size, noise goals, and local requirements should guide the specification.
Commercial Kitchens
Commercial and hospitality projects require the buyer's professional insert or engineered liner selected for each environment. Grease, heat, exhaust, make-up air, fire suppression, and code requirements vary by site. Rustica House customizes the shell around the approved system, but the copper enclosure is not a complete code-rated commercial exhaust hood.
Copper Craftsmanship
Artisans form the chimney, crown, transition, apron, panels, and supports around the approved drawing, then hammer, finish, inspect, and crate the hood.

Best Kitchen Styles
- Boutique Restaurant Display Kitchen: The tall copper hood becomes a visual anchor above a cooking line visible from the dining room. For commercial applications, the decorative copper shell should surround a separately engineered, code-compliant exhaust system.
- Hotel or Resort Demonstration Kitchen: Spanish, Mediterranean, and hacienda influences make this hood suitable for resorts, cooking schools, and guest-facing culinary spaces where handcrafted character matters alongside ventilation performance.
- Wine-Bar or Tasting-Room Kitchen: Dark antique copper pairs naturally with wood, stone, and subdued lighting. It can frame a lighter-duty cooking station while reinforcing an upscale, handcrafted hospitality atmosphere.
- Historic-Inspired Hospitality Interior: Restaurants in adobe, mission, colonial, or converted industrial buildings can use the hood as an architectural enclosure around properly engineered commercial ventilation equipment.
Additional Kitchen Styles
