    Compair is coming from the same company as the thermobox. It seemed to be good in the beginning, but the more researches I did on the German website, the more concerns I got about the spring mechanism. It has to be adjusted 100% perfect otherwise it could get jammed.
    It seems you have another internet than myself, when I type in words like "cooker hood" and "air tight", I end in another solution ;-)

    Damn, you're good, I didn't notice it was the same company, I saw one website showing both products.
    I agree, the little plastic finger, with the spring hanging off it, doesn't look the most durable.

    ok, I probably do have different google tailored results, are you talking about www.berbel.uk or Itho units?

    A good discussion here on Airtight Cooker hoods

    I might go the recirculation route if I can't get a good solution on this.
    Can you PM me that German company who you reckon is the best.

    Thanks

    I went with a motorised one myself. I switch it on and off as I need but I'll eventually get it wired in to the extractor via a contactor.

    My issue is that I've a room sealed stove that isn't perfectly sealed at the door so it often pulls air through the stove if I don't open a window.

    Thanks Effects, Do you mind sharing the Brand/Model you used for the motorized valve?

    We have to use a special switching in Germany for cases like yours. A small sensor will be installed at the closest window to your cooker hood. This one is connected to your cooker hood and allows the use only for the case that the window is at least tilted. That principle prevents a depressurization of your room and the infiltration of exhaust fumes out of your chimney into your building.
