\n

With 80 years of experience, R\u00f8rosHetta has all but perfected the production of kitchen hoods at the factory in R\u00f8ros. Whether you want a hood in standard dimensions or custom-made to fit perfectly into your kitchen solution, our employees\u2014who produce and deliver over 40,000 kitchen hoods every year\u2014can make it happen.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Craftsmanship and quality through time<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We go back to 1946, when R\u00f8ros Metall started as a tinsmith workshop in the mining town of R\u00f8ros. Stove plates, wood boilers, fireplace hoods, and other stove and fireplace equipment in hammered copper formed the backbone of the company for an entire generation. When Randi Augensen and her husband Svein took over in 1979, they brought with them an innovative mindset and a clear goal: we will become the best in kitchen ventilation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In 1981, we launched our first copper kitchen hood under the R\u00f8rosHetta brand, and ever since, development, creativity, quality, and craftsmanship have been the company\u2019s core values. Today, we have 47 skilled employees\u2014several of whom have been with us since the very first hood\u2014and the third generation of the Augensen family now runs the company, which has an annual turnover of more than 200 million NOK.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mass-produced customization<\/strong>
\nA new concept introduced by the companies in the R\u00f8rosklyngen<\/a>\u2014and precisely what R\u00f8rosHetta delivers. With the introduction of shift work on the production line, investment in a new bending machine in 2024, and the long experience of our employees, we have optimized and streamlined the production of kitchen hoods with integrated Sense technology. Smart, quiet, and automatic kitchen hoods that can be tailored to exactly the design you desire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Whether it\u2019s standard dimensions from the catalogue, extra wide, extra tall, or just a few millimetres of adjustment\u2014very little is impossible when our staff bends the metal at the factory. Our paint department can match all NCS colours in both standard and matte finishes, or you can choose between four different metals in high-gloss or brushed surfaces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

With the introduction of Frame Sense in 2025 and Groove in 2021, you can now also play with wood in your preferred stain, or choose from more than 20 different 4 mm Dekton panels\u2014only your imagination sets the limit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kitchen hoods beyond the ordinary<\/strong>
\nHundreds of thousands of our hoods adorn kitchens in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and the United Kingdom, and we are proud to say that we may have the world\u2019s largest selection of kitchen hoods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Our passion for kitchen ventilation\u2014where design and function go hand in hand\u2014ensures you a high-quality product that will delight you every day, for years to come.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So what is the real difference between us and others?<\/strong>
\nYou can experiment with materials and shapes, shades and colours. Like a master chef, you can create a kitchen hood entirely to your taste, without compromising on performance or quality. Our customization is exclusive to the Sense hoods, which are produced from start to finish at the factory in R\u00f8ros.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Our goal is always to create the world\u2019s best kitchen hood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
