Commercial Kitchen Canopy Installation
Kitchen Canopies
The first line of defence in any commercial kitchen
Your canopy is what stands between your cooking line and a hot, greasy, non-compliant kitchen. Ventex designs, supplies and installs stainless steel extraction canopies sized correctly for your appliances not a standard template that leaves gaps in coverage built and fitted to DW172 and HVCA standards.
Built around your cooking line, not a catalogue size
A canopy that’s too small leaves gaps where heat and grease escape into the kitchen. One that’s oversized wastes energy and space. We survey your actual equipment layout grills, fryers, ovens, ranges and size the canopy, filters and extract rate to match, following the overhang and capture-velocity guidance in DW172.
Every canopy is fabricated from grade 304 stainless steel with fully welded, grease-tight seams, so grease is captured and drained rather than seeping into ceiling voids above.
- Sized to your appliance line and airflow requirement
- Grade 304 stainless steel, fully welded construction
- Correct baffle or cartridge filters for your cooking style
- Integrated lighting and grease trough as standard
Canopy Types
Which canopy is right for your kitchen?
Standard Extract Canopy
The most common option for general cooking lines grills, ranges and fryers using baffle filters to trap grease before air reaches the ductwork. Reliable, straightforward and cost-effective for most kitchens.
Condensate Canopy
Adds a collection channel and drain to handle steam and moisture from steamers, boiling pans and combi ovens, stopping condensation from dripping back down onto worktops and staff below.
Capture-Jet Canopy
Uses a thin jet of air along the front edge to pull heat and fumes back under the canopy, allowing a smaller, less intrusive canopy to perform like a much larger one useful where ceiling height or space is limited.
Island Canopy
Designed for cooking lines positioned away from a wall, extracting from above on all open sides. Common in show kitchens and larger commercial layouts where the cooking line is a central feature.
Wall-Mounted Canopy
The standard configuration for cooking lines set against a wall, extracting from one open side. The most straightforward and space-efficient option for the majority of commercial kitchens.
Bespoke & Retrofit Canopies
Where a kitchen has an awkward layout, low ceiling or listed building restrictions, we fabricate canopies to a bespoke shape and fitting method rather than forcing a standard unit to fit.
Compliant by design, not as an afterthought
An extraction canopy that doesn’t meet DW172 and HVCA construction standards can leave you exposed at your next insurance renewal or Environmental Health inspection. We build every canopy to those standards as standard practice, not as a chargeable extra.
After installation, you’ll receive a compliance handover pack covering construction details, filter specification and airflow readings ready to show an insurer, landlord or EHO whenever it’s requested.
- DW172 & HVCA-aligned design and construction
- Filters matched to cooking type and grease loading
- Full compliance handover pack on completion
