Are you a passionate homecook with a flair for the contemporary kitchen aesthetic? Our glassdraft hobs are the ultimate cooktop companion.

At Thatcham Kitchens, we know that the heart of every home is the kitchen. As trends evolve, so does the demand for sleek and stylish appliances that perform exceptionally. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the glassdraft hob! With their minimalist design and advanced downdraft ventilation system, they’re amongst the best hobs for 2024 and beyond.

What are glassdraft hobs?

Glassdraft hobs are a type of kitchen appliance that combine integrated heating elements with downdraft ventilation. They feature a sleek glass surface for cooking, coupled with a built-in aeration system that draws cooking fumes out of the kitchen.

Glassdraft hobs heat cookware using electromagnetic fields. They’re equipped with intuitive touch controls that make adjusting temperatures and settings easy.

Here at Thatcham Kitchens, we recommend Siemens glassdraft hob appliances for their exceptional performance and elegant design.

Glassdraft vs induction hobs – what’s the difference?

Glassdraft hobs have a smooth surface made from a blend of ceramic materials. They offer quick heating, precise temperature controls and built-in extraction, making them a convenient choice for many households.

Like glassdraft hobs, induction hobs use electromagnets for rapid heating and precise temperature control. However, they often require separate solutions for extraction, like overhead fans.

What about glassdraft vs gas hobs?

Gas hobs are another popular type of hob. They provide higher heat output and instant adjustability, making them a favourite choice amongst professional chefs. But glassdraft hobs excel in energy efficiency. They’re also easier to clean compared to the grates and burners of a gas hob.

What are the benefits of glassdraft hob appliances?

Glassdraft hob appliances offer plenty of benefits for modern cooks. They’re stylish, easy to clean and versatile in use.

  • Modern & attractive – Glassdraft hobs are sleek and modern in design. Whether your kitchen is minimalist or farmhouse in style, a glassdraft hob enhances the space, making it look more contemporary and inviting.

  • Easy cleaning – With spills and grease accumulating around the burners, traditional hobs can be difficult to clean. But glassdraft hobs make cleaning simple. The smooth glass surface can be wiped down with a damp cloth, eliminating the need for scrubbing.

  • Safety – Glassdraft hob appliances are built with a range of safety assurances. They’re equipped with automatic shut-off and child lock functionalities for an extra layer of security. This makes them ideal for families with young children.

  • Energy efficient – Glassdraft hobs are renowned for their energy-saving properties. By heating cookware directly, they minimise energy wastage, leading to reduced utility bills over time.

  • Versatility – Glassdraft hobs are available in various sizes, with multiple cooking zones to suit different needs. This means you can select a model that perfectly fits your cooking style and kitchen layout.
