Built to Handle What Kitchens Throw at It

Restaurant ductwork faces challenges standard commercial installations never encounter—grease-laden air, extreme temperatures, fire code requirements, and the constant demand for reliable performance in mission-critical applications.

Common Problems We Address

  • Inadequate Exhaust Performance
  • Grease Accumulation
  • Noise Transmission
  • Failed Inspections

Why Kitchen Ductwork is Different?

  • Grease-Laden Exhaust
    Kitchen exhaust ductwork must contain and channel grease vapor safely from hood to roof termination. Improper materials or installation create serious fire hazards.
  • Temperature Extremes
    Exhaust ducts handle air temperatures significantly higher than typical HVAC systems. Material selection and clearances must account for this heat.
  • Code-Mandated Construction
    Fire codes specify exact requirements for kitchen exhaust ductwork—materials, sealing methods, clearances, and access provisions. We know these requirements inside out.
  • Zero Tolerance for Leaks
    Grease escaping through duct seams creates fire hazards and contamination issues. Kitchen ductwork demands absolute integrity.

We Works like our own

Installation Expertise

Kitchen ductwork installations require documentation for health departments, fire marshals, and building officials. We provide complete records meeting all regulatory requirements.

Proper Hanger Spacing

Supporting heavy kitchen exhaust ductwork adequately

Vibration Isolation

Preventing noise transmission to dining areas

Expansion Provisions

Accommodating thermal expansion in hot exhaust ducts

Access Panel Integration

Installing required inspection and cleaning points

Dining Area HVAC Ductwork

  • Quiet Operation – Maintaining ambiance without mechanical noise
  • Even Temperature Distribution – Eliminating hot and cold zones
  • Aesthetic Integration – Coordinating with interior design where exposed
  • Humidity Control – Preventing foggy windows and uncomfortable conditions

Routing Challenges We Navigate

  • Space Constraints – Threading ductwork through crowded restaurant ceiling spaces
  • Multiple System Coordination – Kitchen exhaust, makeup air, and HVAC all sharing limited space
  • Structural Obstacles – Working around beams, joists, and existing building elements
  • Fire Separation Maintenance – Preserving required ratings when penetrating walls and floors

New Restaurant Construction

Building from scratch allows optimal duct routing. We coordinate with architects and general contractors early, ensuring efficient pathways and proper integration with building structure.

Restaurant Renovation Projects

Existing buildings present unique challenges—low ceilings, limited pathways, and operational businesses. We design solutions that work within these constraints while meeting all code requirements

Fire Damper Integration

Where kitchen exhaust ducts penetrate fire-rated assemblies, properly rated fire dampers maintain building protection. We handle all damper specifications and installations
