Extraction hoods
Extraction hoods remove cooking fumes, steam and heat from your kitchen, maintaining air quality and worker comfort. Whether you operate a busy restaurant, hotel kitchen, or café, the right hood protects your staff and meets food safety regulations.
Choose from wall-mounted units in multiple widths (1000–3000mm) with extraction rates from 2000–3000 m³/h, or compact vertical deflector hoods for smaller prep areas. All models come complete with filters and controls.
When selecting an extraction hood, match the unit width to your cooking line and verify the extraction rate (m³/h) suits your kitchen's volume and appliance density. Wall-mounted hoods work best above ranges, fryers and griddles; vertical deflectors suit smaller workstations.
Consider filter type and access for cleaning—removable metal or baffle filters are easier to maintain than disposables. LED lighting is useful for illuminating the cooking surface. Installation height and ducting requirements will depend on your building layout; most hoods connect to existing or new external flue systems.
- Match hood width to your cooking line
- Check extraction rate (m³/h) against kitchen size
- Verify filter type and replacement costs
- Confirm ducting and building compliance
