Which commercial range hood should you choose for your restaurant?

Types of Commercial Range Hoods and Their Uses

Commercial Rang Hood Exhaust-to-the-Outside

Connected to a duct, it vents air directly to the outside. Ideal for traditional kitchens, brasseries, and cafeterias, it provides complete filtration of grease and fumes to the outside. Explore our various models of professional range hoods.

Commercial Rang Hood Professional Charcoal Filter Hood with Offset Housing

Often calleda “ventless range hood,”it purifies the air using an activated carbon filter and a G4 grease filter. The housing can be placed elsewhere in the ventilation system for greater flexibility. An air outlet is required (door, window, or existing ventilation system). If no outlet exists, it is recommended to create one to ensure compliance with standards and maintain air quality.

Choose the Right Range Hood for Your Kitchen

Kitchen Size and Cooking Intensity

The airflow rate must match the size of the kitchen and the intensity of cooking. An undersized range hood will be less effective, while one that’s too powerful will increase energy consumption.

Room layout

If installing a full duct system is difficult, a charcoal-filter range hood with a remote filter unit may be a viable option. This solution allows for more flexible installation while maintaining good filtration quality and low noise levels.

Proximity to Neighbors 

In urban areas or near residential properties, opt for a range hood with odor-filtering capabilities to minimize disturbances. This system limits the spread of grease and odors, thereby improving comfort for nearby residents and ensuring compliance with local regulations.

Motor Type

The choice of motor directly affects noise level and extraction performance.
A built-in motor is easier to install, while a remote motor, housed in an external unit, significantly reduces noise while optimizing airflow and the hood’s durability.
