All of our custom-made kitchen extraction canopies are made in 100% dull-buffed stainless steel and supplied with a protective plastic coating. They are formed with welded and polished corners so as to maximise strength, to prevent dirt traps and to present a clean, aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Our extraction solutions include…
Wall-Style
Canopies
We can produce wall-style, stainless steel canopies (which cover a line of cooking appliances backing onto a wall) up to 10 metres long or L-shaped canopies to cover two cooklines which meet in a corner.
Island-Style
Canopies
Our island-style canopies cover equipment in the centre of the kitchen and can be single-sided or double-sided (cooklines back to back) featuring a V-shaped extract plenum. We manufacture in sizes up to 7 metres long by 4 metres wide which can be supported from the ceiling/roof of the kitchen with or without a service distribution unit.
Self-Supporting
Canopies
From time to time the limitations of the building mean that it is not strong enough to support the weight of a canopy. Under these circumstances we can manufacture canopies to be self-supporting on their own legs. A building or structure is still required to provide lateral stability, but the weight of the canopy can be supported entirely from the stainless steel legs
Easy-clean
Stainless Steel Filters
Our canopies are fitted with a range of polished stainless steel baffle-type grease filters to suit the application and canopy design. These are easy to clean in a commercial dishwasher and provide excellent filtration performance. We can also supply replacement filters in a range of types and sizes to suit most existing systems.
We provide an option for additional emergency lighting where required.
Extraction Canopy
Lighting
The majority of our stainless steel canopies are supplied with integral lighting which is most usually provided by recessed low energy LED lights. We can also use LED panel lights where required. All our lights are DW/172 compliant vapour-proof with heat resistant, shatter-proof lenses and easy clean surfaces. All are designed to provide 500 lux at the working surface as DW/172 specifies.
We provide an option for additional emergency lighting where required.
Stainless Steel
Wall Cladding
We usually clad the walls behind our wall canopies with stainless steel sheets, neatly joined with overlapped tightly folded safety edges and featuring a coving strip to ensure a secure and hygienic floor/wall junction.
The stainless steel cladding can be extended beyond the canopy to cover the whole kitchen if required.
Service
Distribution Units
Our island-style extraction canopies are frequently supplied with a service distribution unit (or “spine”) which is a stainless steel structure designed to support and conceal the gas, electric, water and waste services which run to and from a centrally-located cooking island.
Each spine is designed for a specific kitchen layout and may include risers for services to be carried from above the canopy, removable or hinged panels and openings for sockets etc. We usually provide the shell of the unit only for others to fit out the services required.
Dishwasher &
Condense Canopies
We manufacture canopies to cover dishwashers which can be mechanical (from which steam is extracted via a fan) or non-mechanical “condense” canopies which allow the steam arising to condense and drain via channels to all four sides.
