Range hood filters, in every style your hood takes — standard or built to size.
Filter options for range hoods
Every style of range hood filter, for residential hoods and commercial kitchens alike.
Aluminum mesh
The most common range hood filter. Traps grease and airborne impurities, dishwasher safe, reusable.
Baffle
Angled aluminum baffles that trap grease more aggressively — standard on most commercial hoods and many higher-end residential ones.
Stainless steel
For commercial kitchens, and anywhere durability and easy sanitizing matter.
Carbon
For ductless hoods — absorbs odour where there's no exterior venting.
Filters can be combined — aluminum mesh with a carbon layer, for example — depending on what your hood needs.
Most residential range hoods take a standard size, and we stock those. Commercial hoods and older or imported residential units often don't — and in those cases we build to your exact dimensions rather than asking you to make a standard size work.
No guesswork on your end.
Range hood filter questions
What people ask us most about range hood filters. Don't see yours? Give us a call.
How do I measure my range hood filter?
Take the filter out and measure the filter itself, not the opening it sits in. Measure length, width and thickness in inches, to the nearest 1/16". Don't round up or down, and don't include handles or latches in your measurements. If a size is printed on the frame, note it too, but trust your tape measure: printed sizes are often rounded. When in doubt, send us your dimensions and a photo of the filter and the slot, and we'll confirm the fit before anything ships.
How do I identify the handles, tabs or latches?
Look at the face and edges of your filter. Most range hood filters use one of these: a spring latch (a small tab you push to release the filter, usually on one edge), a finger pull or handle (a loop or tab on the front used to pull the filter out), or a slide latch. Note which type you have, which edge it's on, and which side faces the cooktop. Position matters for fit, so a photo of both sides is the easiest way to get it right.
Can I wash my range hood filter?
Aluminum mesh, baffle and stainless steel filters are washable. Run them through the dishwasher or soak them in hot water with dish soap or a degreaser, then rinse and let them dry completely before reinstalling. Avoid oven cleaners and harsh caustic products on aluminum, which can corrode it. Some discolouration after the dishwasher is normal and doesn't affect performance. Carbon filters can't be washed: water clogs the carbon and kills its ability to absorb odour. Replace them instead.
What's the difference between an aluminum filter and an activated carbon filter?
They do different jobs. Aluminum filters (mesh or baffle) trap grease before it reaches your ductwork and fan. Activated carbon filters absorb cooking odours, and are used in ductless hoods that recirculate air back into the kitchen instead of venting it outside. A ductless hood typically needs both: a grease filter in front and a carbon filter behind it. A vented hood only needs the grease filter.
How often should I replace my filter?
For aluminum and stainless filters, regular cleaning matters more than replacement: about once a month for typical home cooking, more often if you fry a lot. Replace them when the mesh is torn, the frame is bent, or they no longer come clean. Carbon filters should be replaced every 3 to 6 months, depending on how much you cook. Commercial kitchens should clean filters much more often and follow their local fire code and inspection schedule.
Not sure which type your hood needs, or whether your size is standard? That's exactly what the phone's for.
Send us the brand and model of your hood, or the dimensions and a photo of the filter slot, and we'll confirm the right fit and type before anything ships.
