The firm continues to drive and invest in its internationalization strategy. This has already been the fourth time that it has exhibited at the fair in Cologne with a result of great satisfaction, the numerous contacts with distributors around the world and the consolidation of relations with international clients.

New hoods
Frecan, within the trend of the kitchen industry in removing architectural barriers, is continually developing a portfolio of kitchen hoods with technically developed seamless designs taking into account a low noise level, high extraction efficiency and ease of installation.

Amongst the models that Frecan presented in LivingKitchen, Flow (top image) is highlighted, a range of three surface hoods with a common denominator: a large suction power (1,400 m3 / h) and a compact design that allows its installation in furniture 60 cm deep allowing 40 cm drawers. It is a solution that allows its installation in both island kitchens and walls. This series offers the possibility of designing with freedom, without limitations and with an enormous ease of installation.

The Flow 1 surface hood, with a width of 90 cm, features, like its two sisters, two motors that bring enough power to attract the fumes. The new Frecan Flow 1 model is presented in conjunction with a 90 cm G5-900 plate and four cooking zones with Bridge function: the perfect pair for a surface without visual barriers and with a large suction.

Flow 2 is designed to be installed between modules on the sides of a 4-burner hob in the frame. With the same great power that characterizes the Flow family, it stands out its easy assembly in furniture up to only 60 cm deep.

The Flow range closes with a hood model integrated in a plate of four fires with Bridge function and great power of 7.400 W: it is the last generation in induction with components Ego, slider, with all the characteristics of a plate of high performance and quality.

All Flow models, besides allowing installation in furniture of 60 cm depth, are presented with a soundproofing plate that protects the installation and isolates the sound. All are installed completely underneath the furniture, they are endowed with a flanges in Inox that protect the furniture of the condensation, and they have a visor that allows the perimetral aspiration in closed position and that, once open, better covers the front cooking areas, by vacuuming in a traditional way.

The Inup model (on these lines) recovers 60% of the space in the lower and middle part of the closet. This reclaimed space returns to the closet the ability to store much beyond the spices. In addition, the new extractor hood is much quieter to the ears. Due to its technical design with a reduced motor case and a pipe installed on the interior side of the cabinet, about 70% more of storage capacity is available than a standard integration hood.

The Hit model represents the most traditional concept of a fully integrated hood with the engine drawer in its common place, but with its beauty enhanced by a transparent glass door with built-in touch control, which allows the user to see the kitchen through the glass and use the hood control panel with easier access.

The Blade model (below these lines) joins the 360º range and with it there are already three models that offer this possibility of installation. The Nitro 360º, Blade 360º and Cloud 360º models incorporate a 360º rotary motor that allows the extraction ducts to be installed in any direction allowing easy installation even in wall kitchens. The engine is an R1000GP EBM engine rated with an A + power label with high pullout power and virtually no noise in operation. Both hoods include a Bluetooth remote that can be connected to an app on the mobile phone, and can be controlled from there..

Another novelty in integration is the internal finish of all built-in Frecan hoods, which come with the interior part finished in stainless steel for the interior use of the furniture without needing to panel to hide the parts of the hood.

Iconic
The Iconic model, with reduced dimensions and ease of installation, is a synthesis of modernity, simplicity and aesthetics of techno­logical gadget. Designed as a “prêt-à-porter ‘object, the user acquires a recirculation hood, ready to go and use – it does not require any installation. Iconic brings personality and freshness to the kitchen. Available in different colors and finishing, built in a curved aluminium body, it is designed to make of a cooker hood a dynamic element allowing support tablets, hook magnets or directly write on its surface with a marker.

Cocoon
Cocoon revolutionizes the design creating and hybrid between a built in and a wall hood. Made of Solid Surface, Cocoon internal development allows an almost total use of the upper cabinet thanks to its dissociated engine and the small dimensions of a flat ducting. Likewise installation of Cocoon becomes very simple since it does not require complex modifications into the cabinet except a small cut out for the flat ducting. Then the hood is installed underneath the cabinet with a rail system that allows easy access for internal cleaning

Donna
Donna is a new aesthetic concept in the world of recirculation, available in two formats, island and wall. Its design consists of a cylindrical steel tube wrapped  partially by an outer garment in Solid Surface that sinuous and sensually embraces the core of the hood. Donna goes beyond the pure functionality demand of a hood but becomes a sophisticated and elegant ‘object’ decoration.

Space and Tremola
Space model renews the essence of a very successful Frecan hood from the 80’s. ‘15 Space made in Solid Surface and stainless steel offers a soft, clean design and compact design. The model will be available in wall and island versions.

Tremola, manufactured both in Solid surface and / or aluminium, is a model that closes the complete solid surface collection present by the brand at LivingKitchen. With an extreme innovative design, it has also been thought for an ease of installation and user interaction.

More hoods
Frecan also presented at LivingKitchen an upgraded ceiling hoods collection that can fit in the smallest false ceiling requirements. With flat internal motors incorporated the only 16 cm of false ceiling are required for its installation.

Another substantial upgrading has been done in the internal fi¡nishing of the Built-in hoods. The cabinet built in collection will be now delivered with complete stainless steel so that the internal look when opening the upper cabinet door provides the highest quality perception.

Frecan also presented the new Berling engine in several of its new models. These new engine brings a new concept in – Frecan Filterless hood – due to its powerful turbine and its patented design separates 99,4% of grease, oils and moisture without a metallic filter to be required in the hood. Motor also brings very low noise levels, low energy consumption (A class).
