Product review (5 stars): Highly Suggest! Most May Need Professional Installer:
Incredible value. Looks stunning! Everyone who sees it thinks it cost quadrupile the price! We have a 10' celing and had to go to the AKDY website and buy a hood extension for the stack to reach the ceiling. This cost an additional $65 - no shipping - which is also a great price. If you aren't EXTREMELY handy you will not be able to install this yourself. A couple of problems we ran into when installing: If you are installing over tile you will need to drill through the tiles to mount and will need a drill/proper drill bits not to crack them. The size of our chimney hose was larger in diameter than the products and we had to buy a hose transition piece, clamp, and flu tape to connect the two which cost about $30 all together. If you are looking to have the flu reach the ceiling you may need the extension and the right size and finish is only available through the manufacturer. If you have a 10' ceiling and don't want three seams showing on the flu you may need to do some fabrication which requires very precise measurements before hanging and some fabrication of the product and the additional extension (drilling custom holes through the initial product piece and the additional extension piece to connect them which requires a drill and screws/bolts).
