Installing range hood window barriers may require certain tools and skills. The following are possible installation steps:
1. Prepare tools and materials
You will need an electric drill, woodworking drill bits, plumb wire, woodworking screws, mounting angles, and window dividers wait. Make sure all tools and materials are ready.
2. Install the mounting angle
The figure-shaped metal mounting angle can help fix the range hood window partition between the floor and the ceiling to ensure its stability. Depending on the size and location of your hood window partition, install a different number of mounting corners.
3. Measure and mark the partition location
Measure the location of the partition on the wall to determine the location of the mounting angle. Use vertical lines to mark the partition locations on the wall.
4. Add mounting angles to the short side panels
Measure the length of the short side partitions from above. Add figure-eight metal mounting corners to the top and sides of the short side bulkheads.
5. Install the range hood window partition
Insert the range hood window partition into the installation corner and lift it up, insert the corner on the other side of the partition into the installation corner on the other side And lift it up. Make sure it stays in place.
6. Fix the partition on the floor
Orient the range hood window partition towards the installation corner on the ground. Insert the screws backwards into the holes on the mounting corners, and use an electric drill to drill holes and drive screws into the wall. Make sure the bulkhead is securely fastened to the mounting corners.
7. Install the range hood and connecting pipe
After installing the range hood partition, connect the pipe to the outside of the pipe or to the roof joint.
