Finished a job today, by coincedence, around a cooker hood that is almost identical to the pic above. I removed the glass section and tiled around the rest. When the glass went back on it looked the dogs danglies!

Just out of curiousity.....How did you get the holes to line up in the glass because of the tile thickness you added to the hood...?

I thought that they needed to come forward as a whole unit and the holes in the glass are a fixed position.....

I only ask cause my bro is a kitchen fitter and never come across one that will do that....

Exactly the problem i had Dave!

I tiled a glass one where if you removed the vented filter covers there was an allen key type grub screw which allowed the glass to be slid forward. I have came across others that didn't do this however. As someone said luck of the draw but worth checking beneath the filter coves.

here it is hope pic works

I've got to be honest, it was a pure fluke.
This is second time round for the tiling and I'm pretty sure that the cooker hood was fitted after the original tiles had been fixed so there was sufficient space this time round .

I do quite a bit of kitchen fitting including hoods etc and most chimneys are a pain to get sitting straight and level especially the vertical sections. If you pull the hood away from the wall the top section wont sit right, I reckon your asking for trouble if you start messing with one, personally I always tile up to them, neatly, and then finish with a small bead of silicon.
