A general open kitchen is a non-enclosed kitchen cubicle, that is, a space where the kitchen space and the dining room are combined or adjacent to the living room space without any door blocking. Because of the spaciousness of the open kitchen and its attractive appearance, more and more people have transformed the kitchen into an open one.
However, open kitchens also have weaknesses, that is, they need to be unified with the style of the living room dining room. For Chinese-style kitchens, the three meals a day is the biggest problem. Cooking fumes can be solved without “hard workâ€, especially near the Spring Festival. Many families will “open gangs†at home. The drawbacks of open kitchens are even more obvious. How to solve the fumes of open kitchens has become one of the hot issues that many housewives have discussed.
The best way to block fumes in open kitchens is to install a glass wall that will not only penetrate the smoke but will not hear the noise in the kitchen.
Separating the cooking area from the operating area in the kitchen allows the kitchen to be partially opened, which is also one of the barriers to fumes.
In fact, the Chinese-style kitchen is not suitable for open-style, because the Chinese cooking style will inevitably produce a lot of smoke, although the open kitchen is beautiful, but it is indeed not practical for those who like to eat Chinese food. Therefore, when faced with this problem, many designers will basically give one of the simplest and most practical ways to seal up the kitchen.
Usually during the renovation, many people will knock out one wall of the kitchen and make an open kitchen. This seems relatively large space, and the overall strong. Therefore, it would be rather funny and cumbersome to reseal the open kitchen. It would undermine the original sense of integrity, and it also needs to be considered and designed from where it is sealed. If you don't have a sense of design, seal it casually, and if you block the fumes, it will really affect the appearance.
Therefore, before deciding to fully “enclose†the kitchen, designers must first look for help and never compromise aesthetics and practicality. If it is completely enclosed, it is necessary to build a wall and choose several materials such as light bricks, red bricks or light steel keels and gypsum boards.
In addition to the overall "blockade" of the kitchen, clever use of glass partitions to create a half-separation effect, or increase the power of exhaust hoods is also a good way.

1. The glass wall is both transparent and smoke-proof
Practical index: ★★★★★
Many people want to use the glass wall to deal with the kitchen's openness and smoke. This is both transparent and barrier-free. It is also very sound-proof and the noise in the kitchen cannot be heard outside.
The most important thing to do in a glass wall is to find the frame of the glass. Currently, there are stainless steel and wood on the market, and the price difference is relatively large. If the sliding door type is adopted, there are various options such as fixed slide rails and hanging rails. If the hardware of the sliding door is not good, the push-pull device may be damaged for a long time. With ordinary hinged doors, the hinged strength of the hinges alone cannot withstand the test of time. The use of a floor spring can be considered. The door can be opened and closed no matter if it is inside or outside.
Reminder: The deficiency of glass walls is that they cannot be hung on the top like light walls. They can only be used for partitions and decorations, but they are much better in permeability than light walls. However, the glass needs to be cleaned frequently, otherwise the fumes are large, and it takes a long time to accumulate together and it is not easy to clean. If the area of ​​the glass wall is too large, cleaning will be more troublesome.
2. Partially open suitable occlusion
Practical index: ★★★★☆
Some people do not want to completely close the kitchen, want to make a half-cut off the form, in fact, the kitchen and other areas of the way a lot of cut off, useful bar cut off, useful glass, stainless steel, curtains and other materials cut off. However, this half-isolation method does not have much effect on fumes, and fumes are not blocked by some partitions.
If the kitchen is made partially open, only one sill size position is connected to the dining room. Such fumes are better handled. When cooking, you can use glass, curtains or other things to block it. When the cooking is completed, the smoke will be cleaned and the baffle will be cleaned. Taken away is also a way.
Reminder: For semi-open kitchens, if the kitchen is southeast or southwest, smoke smells easily back into the house. West of the kitchen, food is not easy to store. It is recommended to use blinds on the windows. Do not rely on the sunlit walls of the refrigerator.
3. Increase the power of exhaust hood
Practical index: ★★★☆☆
Many people do not want to change the layout of the open kitchen. The best way is to increase the power of the range hoods. Domestic deep-cover hoods have the main objective of absorbing oil and are more suitable for Chinese-style kitchens. Chinese-style range hoods are mostly deep-covered, with deeper hoods designed to prevent fumes from spreading. For Chinese families who often cook and like to fry, fry, cook, and fry, Chinese-style households with strong oil removal and easy disassembly and washing are Chinese. Deep-cover hoods are more practical. Of course, it is best to choose a triple quiet model.
In addition, the kitchen needs a normal "wind inlet". For example, under the door of the kitchen, there must be some door seams, shutters and ventilation panels on the door panels so that air can be continuously replenished. If there are no gaps in the doors and windows of the kitchen, the noise from the range hoods will be particularly large, and fumes will be difficult to drain away.
Reminder: The cleaning of range hoods is important. At the time of purchase, models that can easily remove the lower grille and fan turbine blades without any special tools should be selected. At the same time, it should also be observed that there should be no seams and grooves on the side of the hood of the cooker hood in order to clean it more thoroughly and conveniently.
â– Experience talk
When the fumes are really large, fans need to be added
â— Lin Le, female, 32 years old, PR Manager
I prefer open kitchens, but I often open fire at home. At that time, I used an open kitchen to knock down a light wall and discuss it with the designer. She said that there was not much problem and she recommended that we use a Chinese range hood. But I still don't feel relieved. I also collected opinions on the Internet. Some people say that the use of range hoods to increase the number of fans is much better. I have specifically added an extra fan to the kitchen.
Afterwards, the result of the actual stay in the hotel was still somewhat effective, especially when cooking less smoke, the air in the kitchen could be guaranteed to be clean, but when it was really fried, the fumes tasted great and I love it so much. Spicy people can only enjoy themselves in outside restaurants.
The best light weight on the kitchen light wall
â— Xiaoqiao, female, 27 years old, company employee
In order to occupy more space in our home, we also built a wall cabinet on the light wall of the open kitchen. The designer said that there should be no problem and can play cork. But later found that the wall cabinet was a little loose, and then looked back to the cabinet designer. He said that this was a normal phenomenon. He also suggested that we should move to the load-bearing wall, but for the sake of safety, we still put the crane on the light wall. The cabinet was removed.
Some people say that light wall tiles and small cabinets should be no problem, and it is also related to the structure of the light wall. When installing light brick walls, the holes must be staggered, otherwise they cannot hang. Heavy objects.
â– Professional guidance
Add light bricks to the wall and add a sink to the cooking area
â— Wu Xuefeng, Kuda Decorative Studio Artist
Generally in the open kitchen plus walls, residential properties need to know, because the red brick is generally too heavy, some communities afraid of the floor can not withstand so much pressure, will prohibit the use of red brick walls, if not consult before clear, may be good It will be removed again.
The sound of light steel keel plus gypsum board is rather ugly, and it is easy to be broken or repaired. Therefore, the use of light brick walls is more. With light brick walls, it is necessary to lift the tiles on the ground and make nails on the ground to make embedded parts so as to fix the walls. Therefore, the project is more troublesome.
In addition, the replacement of the power range hood does not solve the soot problem in the kitchen, the most thorough way is to completely separate the cooking area from other areas. Some developers take this issue into account and generally separate the cooking area when designing a layout.
However, it is not enough to simply separate the cooking dishes. It is best to set a sink in the cooking area. Otherwise, stir the dish and then run out of the brush pan. Then go in and fry the second dish, and one oil lamp comes out. It is also very inconvenient for people who cook.
