Kitchen Canopies
These symptoms don’t always mean the canopy is the only issue. Poor fan performance, restricted ductwork, inadequate replacement air, or incorrect system balancing can cause similar problems.
We therefore inspect the connected extraction system before recommending canopy replacement.
Canopy Types
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Commercial kitchen canopy design should consider extraction airflow, grease filtration, construction materials, and maintenance access. BESA’s DW172 Specification for Kitchen Ventilation Systems provides recognised industry guidance for planning and installing commercial kitchen extraction equipment.
After installation, you’ll receive a compliance handover pack covering construction details, filter specifications, and airflow readings, ready to show an insurer, landlord, or EHO whenever it’s requested.
The fan must provide suitable airflow against the resistance created by filters, ductwork and other components.
Ductwork carries extracted air to the discharge point. Its dimensions, route, condition and accessibility can affect system performance.
Air removed from the kitchen must be replaced appropriately. Inadequate replacement air can contribute to negative pressure, door problems and poor canopy capture.
Filters help capture grease and airborne particles before they enter the ductwork. The correct type depends on the cooking activity.
Suitable controls allow the extraction system to operate according to the kitchen’s requirements.
Filters, grease channels and connected ductwork should be accessible for appropriate inspection and cleaning.
