Range Hood Inserts and Mechanicals
Manufactured by Texas Lightsmith, Inc.
Our liners are individually designed and fabricated in-house to ensure both quality and fit. Each liner is specially made to complement the design of the vent hood giving the finished piece a consistent, yet unique look. If you have an existing liner, let us know and we can incorporate your liner into a custom vent hood body. Additionally, we can incorporate your existing fan into a custom vent hood provided we receive the model number.

Ventilation
:
Remote Inline Fan
Our Range Hoods are generally equipped with remote inline fans from Fantech FDK & FG series To visit their page… click here.Fantech offers air flow capacities with a wide selection of CFM power options. Texas Lightsmith prefers the Fantech FKD and FG series due to its compact size, high cfm and low sones. We also use Broan exterior wall and roof mount fans and compact internal set-ups when the situation calls for them.
Internal Fan
If size and shape of the range hood body permit, and other factors do not allow for installation of a remote in-line fan, the ventilation fan can be internally installed in the range hood body.
Exterior Fan
In some instances an exterior fan is required for lack of accessible ducting or size of the range hood body, in which case we typically use the exterior roof or wall mount fans from Broan…learn more. These Broan fans are chosen for their performance and reliability as well as the powder-coated, paint ready housing.
