Our steel range hoods are typically done in a custom finish due to the variety of brown and weathered colors, which can be achieved with this metal. Steel is also a popular selection for the straps, namely our hand forged steel, which has a nice variety of texture and color throughout. One of the drawbacks of steel in our sultry, Indiana climate is the ambient humidity can play a large role in our ability to work with this material. As an example, we can achieve blackened steel on the hood body in the dead of winter but it is just not possible in July. Just like all the metals we work with, our custom steel range hoods are TIG welded 16 gauge material.
