Design & planning information
A commercial range hood, also known as a commercial range hood, commercial exhaust hood, or commercial exhaust canopy, is a ventilation system installed above cooking appliances to capture and remove:
The system helps maintain air quality, improve staff comfort, protect surrounding equipment, and reduce the accumulation of grease and cooking contaminants within the kitchen.
Commercial range hoods are commonly installed above:
A commercial kitchen ventilation system should be designed to effectively manage airflow while supporting operational safety and performance.
When designing a commercial exhaust canopy system, factors considered include:
In Queensland, commercial kitchens must also consider:
Specific compliance requirements can vary depending on the building, kitchen design, equipment, and project. Consult appropriate ventilation and building professionals where required.
Brisbane has a subtropical climate. Warm, humid conditions and periods of heavy rain should be considered when planning replacement air, external exhaust outlets and weather protection. Salt exposure varies by site, particularly near the coast, and should inform material selection and maintenance.
Extraction capacity should be calculated from cooking equipment, heat output, canopy design and duct resistance. Kitchen ventilation and cooling should be considered together; grease filters capture grease and do not control humidity.
Heavy rain, strong winds, and severe weather can affect external exhaust outlets, ductwork, and ventilation components if they are not properly designed and installed.
Commercial kitchen exhaust systems should be planned with appropriate weather protection, drainage, and installation considerations for the site.
CGC Stainless Steel can work with builders, contractors, and commercial kitchen operators to consider the location of exhaust outlets, external ductwork, and other ventilation components when designing a Brisbane commercial exhaust system.
Commercial kitchens located near Brisbane's coastline or exposed to salty coastal air may require additional corrosion-resistance considerations.
For components exposed to marine salt, 316 stainless steel generally provides greater corrosion resistance than 304. The appropriate grade depends on exposure, surface finish, cleaning access and the component's application. More aggressive conditions can require higher grades; stainless steel still needs suitable fabrication and regular cleaning.
Depending on the project and exposure conditions, our team can recommend suitable stainless steel options and fabrication specifications for commercial range hoods, exhaust canopies, and associated components.
When planning a commercial kitchen exhaust system in Brisbane, we consider factors such as:
Commercial range hoods and commercial exhaust canopies installed in restaurants, cafés, hotels, and commercial kitchens should be designed with the applicable Australian Standards and project requirements in mind.
AS 1668.2 covers mechanical ventilation and air-conditioning systems in buildings. For commercial kitchens, the applicable ventilation requirements depend on factors such as the cooking equipment, kitchen configuration, exhaust system and building conditions.
AS 1668.2 relates to mechanical ventilation and air-conditioning systems in buildings. For commercial kitchens, appropriate ventilation design helps manage heat, smoke, steam, grease-laden vapours, and cooking fumes.
The applicable requirements depend on the individual building, kitchen configuration, cooking equipment, and ventilation system.
Commercial kitchens generate significant heat, smoke, and airborne grease. A properly designed commercial range hood or commercial kitchen exhaust canopy helps improve indoor air quality, support staff comfort, and maintain an appropriate working environment.
Every commercial kitchen has different ventilation requirements based on:
Proper airflow calculations help commercial exhaust hood systems capture contaminants effectively and maintain efficient kitchen ventilation.
Commercial range hood systems should include appropriate grease filtration to reduce grease build-up within ductwork and exhaust systems.
Effective filtration supports ventilation performance and can help reduce grease accumulation within the exhaust system. Commercial kitchen operators should also follow applicable cleaning, maintenance, and fire-safety requirements.
Many business owners use the terms commercial range hood, commercial range hood, commercial exhaust hood, and commercial exhaust canopy interchangeably.
In most commercial kitchens, they refer to ventilation equipment installed above cooking appliances to capture and remove heat, smoke, grease, steam, and cooking fumes.
The primary purpose of a commercial range hood is to capture contaminants before they spread throughout the kitchen. A commercial exhaust canopy forms part of the overall extraction system and works together with ducting, filters, and exhaust fans to maintain effective kitchen ventilation.
Whether you operate a restaurant, café, hotel, takeaway shop, or food production facility, selecting the right commercial kitchen exhaust canopy is important for ventilation performance and workplace safety.
Commercial Range Hood vs Commercial Exhaust Canopy: What's The Difference?
CGC Stainless Steel
Your questions, answered
The terms are often used interchangeably. Both refer to systems designed to capture and remove heat, smoke, grease, steam, and cooking fumes from commercial kitchens.
Costs vary depending on canopy size, ductwork requirements, extraction capacity, materials, installation requirements, and project complexity.
Most commercial kitchens benefit from custom fabrication because cooking equipment layouts, kitchen dimensions, and ventilation requirements differ from one business to another.
Yes. CGC Stainless Steel provides commercial range hood, exhaust canopy, fabrication, and installation services throughout Brisbane and surrounding areas.
Restaurants, cafés, hotels, takeaway stores, catering facilities, food production facilities, schools, clubs, and other commercial kitchens may require exhaust canopy and ventilation systems depending on their cooking equipment and building requirements.
Brisbane's humidity, heavy rainfall, storms, and coastal conditions can create additional considerations for external exhaust components, ductwork, and material selection.
Stainless steel selection depends on the application and environmental exposure. Options may include 304 or 430 stainless steel, with the appropriate specification determined by the project requirements.
Commercial kitchen exhaust systems commonly require appropriate filtration to capture grease-laden vapours and help reduce grease accumulation within the exhaust system. The exact requirements depend on the cooking equipment and system design.
The required canopy size depends on the cooking equipment, cooking line, kitchen layout, heat output, and ventilation requirements. Custom sizing is recommended rather than selecting a canopy based only on a standard width.
Yes. CGC Stainless Steel can manufacture commercial range hoods in different sizes, including systems designed around smaller cooking stations and kitchen layouts.
Yes. An 1800mm commercial range hood can be designed and fabricated to suit appropriate restaurant and commercial kitchen applications.
Yes. Larger commercial range hoods such as 2400mm configurations can be custom fabricated for larger cooking lines and commercial kitchens.
Yes. Our commercial exhaust canopies are custom fabricated according to kitchen dimensions, cooking equipment, airflow requirements, ducting configuration, and installation conditions.
Yes. We provide commercial kitchen ventilation and stainless steel fabrication solutions for hospitality businesses throughout Brisbane, including venues in areas such as Fortitude Valley.
Yes. Commercial ventilation systems can be customised for suitable outdoor and semi-outdoor hospitality environments, taking into account the cooking equipment, airflow, weather exposure, and installation conditions.
Strong winds and heavy rain can affect exposed outlets, roof penetrations, supports and ductwork. Weather protection, secure mounting and suitable discharge arrangements should be assessed for the building. Arrange an inspection if a storm causes visible damage, water entry, unusual noise or reduced extraction.
For exhaust components exposed to salt air, 316 stainless steel can offer greater corrosion resistance than 304. Selection also depends on exposure severity, surface finish and cleaning requirements. Ask for a material specification suited to the actual site and component.
No. Required airflow depends on the cooking appliances, their heat output, canopy configuration and ductwork. Brisbane's warm and humid weather is relevant to replacement air and kitchen comfort, but it does not by itself determine a higher exhaust rating. A ventilation professional should calculate the appropriate capacity.
Check applicable Brisbane City Council food-business, planning and building requirements before work starts. The project may also involve fire safety requirements and QBCC licensing obligations for the work performed. A building certifier and qualified mechanical services professional can confirm which requirements apply to your premises.
