Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Canopy & Rangehood Fabrication in Melbourne

CGC designs, fabricates, and installs custom commercial rangehoods and kitchen exhaust canopies for restaurants, cafés, hotels, takeaways, and commercial kitchens throughout Melbourne and Victoria.
Every commercial kitchen has different cooking equipment, dimensions and ventilation requirements. We fabricate each commercial rangehood, commercial kitchen exhaust canopy or commercial exhaust hood to suit the cooking line, available space and required ventilation setup.
From initial measurements and custom fabrication through to installation, our Melbourne team can assist with your complete commercial rangehood project.

Custom Commercial Range Hood & Exhaust Canopy Fabrication

A commercial rangehood or commercial kitchen exhaust canopy is an important part of a professional kitchen ventilation system. It captures heat, smoke, steam, cooking fumes and grease-laden air before these contaminants spread throughout the kitchen.
CGC Stainless Steel manufactures commercial rangehoods and exhaust canopies for:
  • Restaurants
  • Cafés
  • Takeaway shops
  • Hotels
  • Pubs and clubs
  • Fast-food outlets
  • Food courts
  • Catering kitchens
  • School kitchens
  • Food-production facilities
  • Commercial dishwashing areas
  • Food trucks and mobile kitchens
Every canopy is custom fabricated according to the requirements of the individual project.

Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Canopy Design and Installation

Selecting a commercial kitchen exhaust canopy involves more than choosing a standard width. The appropriate configuration depends on the cooking appliances, heat output, position of the cooking line, kitchen layout, duct route and ventilation requirements.
Our commercial exhaust canopy service can include:
  • Site inspection and measurements
  • Review of the cooking equipment
  • Rangehood and canopy configuration
  • Custom stainless-steel fabrication
  • Commercial grease filter provisions
  • Exhaust duct fabrication
  • Exhaust fan integration
  • Make-up air provisions where required
  • On-site installation
  • Final fitting and finishing
We can work with restaurant owners, builders, shopfitters, kitchen consultants and relevant mechanical contractors during new commercial kitchen projects, refurbishments and ventilation upgrades.

Which Exhaust Canopy Suits Your Kitchen?

Wall-Mounted Commercial Rangehoods

Wall-mounted rangehoods are commonly installed above cooking equipment positioned against a kitchen wall.
The canopy can be manufactured around the width and configuration of the cooking line while accounting for the available wall and ceiling space.

Island Kitchen Exhaust Canopies

Island exhaust canopies are installed over cooking equipment positioned in the centre of a commercial kitchen.
Because the cooking area is open on multiple sides, the canopy design needs to consider the complete equipment arrangement and the required capture area.

Dishwasher Exhaust Canopies

Commercial dishwashers can generate considerable heat, steam and condensation.
A dishwasher exhaust canopy can be designed around the dishwashing equipment and available space to help capture steam and support effective ventilation.

Custom Stainless-Steel Commercial Rangehoods

Some kitchens have restricted ceiling space, unusual equipment arrangements or complex duct routes.
CGC Stainless Steel can fabricate a custom canopy configuration designed around the actual dimensions and operational requirements of the kitchen.

What a Complete Commercial Kitchen Exhaust System Includes

A commercial exhaust canopy  or commercial rangehood is one component of the complete kitchen ventilation system.
Depending on the project, the system may also involve:
  • Stainless-steel grease filters
  • Exhaust ductwork
  • Exhaust fans
  • External discharge points
  • Make-up or replacement air
  • Access for cleaning and maintenance
  • Roof or wall penetrations
  • Fan controls
  • Coordination with fire-safety systems
These components need to work together to provide suitable capture and extraction performance.
The final system requirements should be confirmed according to the cooking equipment, premises and applicable project requirements.

Commercial Exhaust Duct Fabrication

CGC Stainless Steel also provides commercial exhaust duct fabrication in Melbourne. Planning the duct route alongside the canopy helps both components suit the site.
Ductwork transfers captured air from the exhaust canopy to the external discharge point. Its design can be affected by:
  • Canopy position
  • Ceiling height
  • Available roof space
  • Number of bends
  • Exhaust fan location
  • External discharge position
  • Building structure
  • Cleaning and maintenance access
  • Roof or wall penetration requirements
Planning the canopy and duct route together can help reduce installation conflicts and unexpected changes during fabrication.

From Site Measurements to Installation

1. Project Information

Send us your kitchen plans, cooking-equipment details, site photographs and project address.

2. Site Inspection and Measurement

Where required, we inspect the site and confirm the cooking line, kitchen dimensions, ceiling conditions, available installation space and proposed duct route.

3. Canopy Configuration

The commercial rangehood configuration is developed around the cooking equipment, kitchen layout and ventilation requirements.

4. Stainless-Steel Fabrication

The approved rangehood or exhaust canopy is custom fabricated for the project.

5. Installation Coordination

We coordinate the installation requirements with the customer and relevant project contractors.

6. Final Fitting

The fabricated rangehood is fitted according to the agreed project scope and installation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a commercial rangehood and commercial kitchen exhaust canopy?

The terms are often used interchangeably. The commercial kitchen exhaust canopy is the stainless-steel hood positioned above the cooking equipment. The complete commercial extraction system may also include filters, ductwork, exhaust fans, controls and replacement-air components.

What size commercial rangehood or commercial kitchen exhaust canopy do I need?

The required size depends on the cooking-equipment dimensions, equipment position, kitchen layout, heat output, cooking volume and ventilation requirements. A site-specific assessment is more reliable than choosing a canopy based only on a standard width. Our commercial exhaust canopy size guide explains the main measurements and design factors.

Do you manufacture custom commercial rangehoods in Melbourne?

Yes. CGC Stainless Steel fabricates custom stainless-steel rangehoods and exhaust canopies for commercial kitchens throughout Melbourne.

Do you install commercial kitchen exhaust canopies?

Yes. Installation can form part of the project scope. Contact our team with the site details, kitchen layout and cooking-equipment information to discuss the installation requirements.

Can you fabricate exhaust ductwork?

Yes. CGC Stainless Steel provides custom commercial exhaust duct fabrication. The scope depends on the proposed duct route, building configuration and project requirements.

Can you manufacture wall-mounted and island canopies?

Yes. We can fabricate wall-mounted and island exhaust canopies according to the cooking-equipment arrangement and kitchen layout.

Do commercial rangehoods require make-up air?

A commercial exhaust system removes air from the kitchen, so suitable replacement air may be required to maintain appropriate airflow. The amount and method should be determined as part of the complete ventilation design.

Can you manufacture a rangehood or exhaust canopy for a small café?

Yes. We fabricate commercial rangehoods for compact café kitchens as well as larger restaurants, hotels, catering facilities and food-production kitchens.

How much does a commercial rangehood cost?

Cost depends on the canopy dimensions, stainless-steel specification, filter arrangement, ductwork, fan requirements, installation access and overall project complexity. Accurate plans, measurements and equipment information help us prepare a suitable quotation.

What should I send when requesting a quote?

Send your project address, kitchen plan, equipment list, dimensions, site photographs and required timeframe. Our team can advise if further information or a site inspection is necessary.
