Hood Selection That Matters
- Equipment-Specific Sizing
Fryers, charbroilers, and woks each produce different amounts of heat and grease. We match hood size and type to your actual cooking equipment, not generic estimates. - Capture Efficiency
Proper overhang measurements ensure rising heat and smoke get captured before spreading. We calculate exact dimensions based on your equipment arrangement. - Wall vs. Island Mounting
Kitchen layout dictates hood configuration. Wall-mounted hoods offer single-side capture, while island hoods require four-sided containment—each needs different design approaches.

Makeup Air Coordination
Large hoods removing substantial CFM require corresponding makeup air. We design hood systems considering the bigger picture of building pressure and air balance.
Open Kitchen Considerations
When hoods are visible to diners, appearance matters. We balance aesthetics with performance, creating hoods that enhance your dining room design while doing their job effectively.
