Bosch Accent|Line GlassDraft Integrated Ventilation

The challenge was to create a premium ventilation appliance that was seamless and sleek, while providing an alternative to overhead rangehoods that would achieve a clean and minimal aesthetic. It had to provide the ultimate design flexibility without compromising on ventilation performance, while at the same time offering intuitive features and advanced technology that would integrate into any smart home. To provide freedom in kitchen planning, the design would need to remain understated and almost invisible even when in use, so as not to obscure any view or conversation while cooking and entertaining.

The GlassDraft module is a perfectly resolved design solution, transcending what was thought possible in kitchen ventilation. Designed to be positioned directly behind the accent|line FlexInduction cooktop, the steam and odours are extracted right where they originate. The near-invisible glass panel rises only when in use and is edged with decorative LED-illumination to reflect your chosen atmosphere in the kitchen. Incredibly powerful and with intuitive sensors, a V-shaped air curtain is generated behind the glass panel, resulting in incredibly effective steam extraction. GlassDraft is a ventilation solution that doesn’t interrupt the joy of cooking and conversing in the kitchen.

The Bosch GlassDraft module opens up new opportunities when it comes to kitchen layout. It encourages freedoms not offered before, as the placement doesn’t hinder the natural flow of the kitchen. The perfect solution for open plan kitchen spaces, it can be installed right where you need it, even discreetly in an island bench without interrupting any views, unlike a standard overhead rangehood. The glass panel is not only an impressive aesthetic detail, but works with special air nozzles to create a negative pressure that greatly improves the ventilation performance, all while keeping noise to a minimum.
