Schweigen
Schweigen is the only 100% Australian owned company behind bestselling German engineered silent rangehoods supporting Australian manufacturing and jobs. Our profits remain in Australia, supporting our local economy.
Designing Australia’s most efficient silent rangehoods, we have built a reputation by providing innovative, stylish and premium appliances for every household.
Our revolutionary silent rangehood systems work by removing the fan and motor from the rangehood and mounting it outside the home. The only resulting sound in your kitchen is the airflow being pulled through the filters and ducting. The Schweigen Isodrive® motors are amongst the most energy efficient in the market, requiring just 57 watts of power to run, in comparison to competitor products which use a minimum of 180 watts.
With sleek designs, extreme durability, and versatile features, our products combine the best of European styling and Australian durability.
Silent, powerful, beautiful – what more could you want from a rangehood?
Ducting & Duct Design
Poor duct design and incorrect or ill-fitting ducting are the leading cause of venting inefficiencies in rangehoods. And when that happens, all the extraction power in the world isn’t really going to help. Not to mention the pollutant build-up over time that may lead to costly maintenance and safety issues.
The Schweigen Isodrive® system is externally-mounted, and works by pulling air through acoustically-matched flexible ducting. This results in high-flow extraction that is virtually silent at the rangehood. The use of a rigid ducting system here would have an organ piping effect - similar to a didgeridoo, where noise produced at one end of a hollow rigid pipe is amplified out the other.
This is why all Schweigen silent rangehoods come with quality 4-Zero fire-rated flexi-ducting at no extra cost. These perform optimally at their issued lengths and deliver quality performance at up to 3x that - when connected to an Isodrive® motor system.
Good design practice would always see a fire-rated ducting system extend to the house exterior, rather than to the ceiling cavity. When a rangehood is ducted only into the ceiling space, the collection of humidity and grease can present very real health issues and fire hazards. Over time, the back pressure will also impact the longevity and performance of the rangehood motor.
