Extraction-Canopies

Commercial Extraction Canopies for Professional Kitchens

Commercial extraction canopies are ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted stainless steel ventilation hoods designed to capture, filter, and extract the heat, steam, grease vapour, smoke, and cooking odours generated by commercial cooking equipment in professional kitchen environments, providing the mechanical ventilation solution that UK and European food service regulations and building regulations require above all commercial cooking appliances in enclosed professional kitchen spaces. Commercial extraction canopies are a mandatory component of every professional kitchen installation that includes heat-generating cooking equipment, providing the ventilation function that removes the heat, moisture, and contaminants produced by commercial fryers, griddles, ovens, ranges, and other cooking equipment from the kitchen working environment, maintaining acceptable air quality and temperature for kitchen staff and preventing the accumulation of grease vapour and cooking residues on kitchen surfaces and structure. At TurcoBazaar, our range of commercial extraction canopies is part of the comprehensive stainless steel furniture range, designed to work in combination with our equipment stands that support the cooking appliances below and our commercial work tables that complete the kitchen station layout around the ventilated cooking zone.

Professional Usage of Commercial Extraction Canopies

Commercial extraction canopies are installed above every commercial cooking equipment position in the professional kitchen that generates heat, steam, or grease-laden vapour during operation, including above fryer banks, griddle lines, oven ranges, commercial chargrills, wok burners, and any other heat-generating commercial catering appliance positioned in an enclosed kitchen space. The extraction canopy is sized and positioned to capture the full plume of heat, steam, and vapour rising from the cooking equipment below, with canopy dimensions calculated based on the heat output and vapour production of the specific equipment installed, the kitchen ceiling height, and the ventilation airflow rates required to maintain the air quality standards specified in UK building regulations and HSE guidance for commercial kitchen ventilation. Extraction canopies require connection to a mechanical extract ventilation system with sufficient airflow capacity for the cooking equipment below, and are typically installed as part of a complete kitchen ventilation specification that includes the canopy, ductwork, extract fan, and make-up air supply, all designed to balance supply and extract airflows for effective and energy-efficient kitchen ventilation. They complement the full kitchen station including hot cupboards and supporting furniture.

Key Benefits of Commercial Extraction Canopies

Stainless steel construction provides the corrosion-resistant, non-porous, and easily cleaned canopy body and grease filter housing that the demanding kitchen ventilation environment requires, withstanding continuous exposure to heat, steam, grease vapour, and cleaning chemicals throughout the service life of the kitchen installation. Purpose-built commercial dimensions and configurations ensure that extraction canopies can be sized to cover single or multiple pieces of cooking equipment, with wall-mounted, island, and back-to-wall configurations available to suit different kitchen layout requirements and cooking equipment arrangements. Integrated baffle or mesh grease filters capture and contain the grease particles in the extract airstream before they enter the ductwork, reducing the fire risk and cleaning requirement of the ventilation ductwork and maintaining the performance of the extract fan system. All products carry CE certification and comply with UK and European ventilation, fire safety, and food hygiene standards.
