Flush-mounted induction hob with extractor: what you need to know
Flush-mounting an induction hob is for many people the most attractive solution. The hob then lies completely flush with the countertop, creating a calm and unified look.
Both the induction hob with extraction and without extraction from MAKUS can be flush-mounted. This gives a sleek and refined appearance in the kitchen.
There are a few things you need to consider.
What is flush-mounting
With flush-mounting, the hob is recessed into the countertop. The edges are exactly flush with the surface. This ensures:
- a calm appearance
- sleek lines
- a seamless connection to the countertop
For many kitchens, especially those with natural stone or composite, this is a popular choice.
Flush-mounting or surface-mounting: a matter of taste
Not everyone chooses flush-mounting. Some people prefer it when the hob sits slightly on the countertop. The difference is therefore mainly aesthetic: do you want the hob to blend in with the countertop or remain slightly visible? Both options are possible and technically equivalent.

Important to know regarding service
A point that is often overlooked: with flush-mounting, the hob is sealed all around in the countertop.
Should the hob ever need to be removed for service or maintenance, this sealant edge will be detached. After repair, the hob must be neatly re-sealed. This falls under the finishing of the kitchen and is the responsibility of the user.
Our advice: always have this done by a specialist. This ensures the end result remains neat and durable.
When to choose flush-mounting
Flush-mounting is a good choice if you:
- opt for a calm and minimalist kitchen
- work with high-quality materials such as natural stone
- place great value on detail and finish
In doubt? Discuss it with your kitchen supplier and view examples in real life.
Finally
Flush-mounting an induction hob with extraction is absolutely possible and yields a refined result. At the same time, it requires careful installation and finishing.
The most important thing is that the choice suits your kitchen and how you want to experience it.
