First, the shortcomings of aluminum foil duct of range hood
1, the shortcomings of aluminum foil air duct, most of which are soft aluminum foil, will be supported by coils of steel wire, so it can be molded, so from the perspective of production cost and difficulty, the requirements are higher.
2. The second disadvantage is that the service life is not particularly long. Of course, if the quality is a little better, it may be fine for several years and will not age. However, if the environment is complex, the aluminum foil duct will age in the later stage and need to be replaced in the later stage.
3. Installation is also troublesome, because the aluminum foil air duct is easy to be scratched, so relevant protective measures should be taken when punching holes.
Second, it is best to choose aluminum foil or plastic for the smoke exhaust pipe.
1. The two have their own advantages and disadvantages. In terms of service life, the aluminum foil air duct has a longer service life, is not easy to age, and has no problem after being used for several years.
2. Compared with the difficulty of installation, the installation of plastic pipe is a little easier, because it has screw holes at the front and rear joints, which is more convenient for later disassembly and simpler than the installation of aluminum foil plate.
3. From an aesthetic point of view, you can choose aluminum foil air duct, because it is opaque. If there is oil smoke inside, it will be invisible when it is dirty. But plastic pipes are transparent. Over time, there will be a lot of dirty things on the pipe, which will seriously affect the appearance.
4. The range hood will make a certain sound when working, while the aluminum foil tube is soft and the plastic tube is hard, so the noise generated by the aluminum foil tube is small and it is not easy to smell when exhausting smoke.
Bian Xiao concluded: If the exhaust pipe of the range hood at home is made of aluminum foil, it is more complicated to make and more troublesome to install.
