WHY ventilation is important When it comes to ventilation performance, there's only one name you need to remember. Thermador. Our powerful, quiet systems tackle unwanted smoke, grease, heat and odors, quietly and efficiently. For all of the warm images your kitchen may conjure up, the fact is, your kitchen can be a major source of pollutants in the home. All of these are released into the air as you are cooking, and can end up on walls, ceilings, carpet, upholstery and drapes. Additionally, in today's well-sealed homes, insufficient ventilation can cause heat buildup and, in extreme cases, even carbon monoxide poisoning. That's why choosing a quality ventilation system by Thermador is one of the most important decisions you can make when designing your kitchen.
