Highly reflective Electric Blue in Mirror Finish is one of the new metallics. New to the color selection are different Wood Tones that create a new distinctive wood look but with the superior functionality of a metal range hood. RangeCraft's new stainless steel stocked colors include Champagne, Coffee, Sky Blue, Wine Red, Rose Golden and Bronze. Multi level colors and anti-fingerprint metals also are part of the new choices in color. "These new colors are the actual colors of the stainless steel and are not achieved by powder coating. This adds yet another level to the luxury hoods offered by RangeCraft," states company President, Ramona Panus. "We achieve the look of powder coating without the time that is lost for the powder coating process. More and more we truly offer jewelry for the kitchen." RangeCraft has been a leading industry manufacturer of high quality, custom designed metal range hoods for over 30 years. RangeCraft's Made to Order hoods are available in over 25 product designs in copper, brass, stainless steel and decorator colors. These new metals will bring the RangeCraft metal choices to over 30. Each RangeCraft hood is made one at a time, with superior craftsmanship and the highest quality standards that RangeCraft is well known for. RangeCraft range hoods are Made To Order by trained artisans' right in our own factory here in the United States. They are manufactured with powerful quiet fans, exquisite finishing options and complete attention to detail prior to crating for delivery direct to you, your designer or contractor. These are not assembly line cookie cutter designs that are available from a multitude of manufacturers and all look alike on a showroom wall. Rather, the incredible individuality of the Range- Craft "Made To Order" product line creates its own distinctive touch making it the focal point of the kitchen and creating the "Wow" factor that standard range hoods do not achieve.
