At what height should I install my range hood?
Recommended height based on the type of range hood
Commercial Rang Hood compact, eco, or food truck
These models with a 55-cm hood must be installed between 1.30 m and 1.50 m above the floor. This height ensures effective ventilation while being suitable for confined spaces such as food trucks or small kitchens.
Commercial Rang Hood Classic or beveled canopy
Classic range hoods with a canopy of approximately 1 m should be installed between 1.80 m and 1.90 m above the floor. This ensures effective smoke extraction without hindering kitchen staff’s work.
Commercial Rang Hood Rectangular or box-style
Designed for commercial kitchens or facilities with large equipment, these hoods are installed at a height of 2 m to 2.20 m above the floor to effectively capture all vapors and fumes.
Commercial Rang Hood Laundry
For a laundry hood, the height must be adjusted according to the hooded machine: allow 20 cm above the hood for effective steam extraction.
Commercial Rang Hood Pizza oven
The hood must be placed 20 cm above the oven, extending at least 10 cm beyond the front of the oven. This positioning ensures effective capture of smoke and heat.
