Extractor hoods for commercial kitchens

Good ventilation is not a luxury in a commercial kitchen. Steam, heat and odours build up very quickly during a busy service. A professional extractor hood ensures a healthy working environment, complies with legal standards and, at the same time, protects the kitchen equipment.

Bespoke extraction systems

Every commercial kitchen is different. The layout, the type of equipment, the volume and the available space all determine which extraction solution is most suitable. That is why D&L Concepts focuses primarily on bespoke solutions.

We design, manufacture and install extraction systems entirely in-house. This ensures that the ventilation system always fits the kitchen layout perfectly, regardless of the size or complexity of the project. Moreover, bespoke solutions are often more cost-effective than you might think.

Which type of professional extractor hood is right for your commercial kitchen?

Choosing the right cooker hood depends on the layout of your kitchen, the type of appliances you have and the volume of food you cook each day. We’ve listed the most common types for you.

Wall-mounted cooker hoods

A wall-mounted cooker hood is fitted to the wall, above the hob or cooker. Compact and efficient, suitable for smaller commercial kitchens or kitchens with a fixed cooking area along the wall. Available in various sizes and tailored to the kitchen’s capacity.

Island cooker hoods

For a freestanding cooktop or a centrally positioned cooking island, an island cooker hood is the ideal choice. This is positioned centrally in the room and extracts fumes from all sides. Ideal for modern kitchen layouts where flexibility and aesthetics are just as important as functionality.

Can be combined, as an option, with an automatic fire extinguisher, connected directly to the extractor hood. This detects a fire and extinguishes it immediately.

Vapour recovery

Some appliances, such as ovens and dishwashers, produce steam whilst in use. With vapour recovery, this steam is not extracted via the cooker hood, but is captured directly and recirculated back into the appliance itself. This is both more efficient and more cost-effective. A full extractor hood system above every appliance is therefore not always necessary.

Vapour recovery is available for various appliances in commercial kitchens, from ovens to dishwashers. A smart choice for kitchens where space, budget or installation options are a consideration.

Partners in professional cooker hoods

D&L Concepts works with various partners to provide professional ventilation and extraction solutions. Their systems are energy-efficient, quiet and easy to maintain.

For cooker hoods, we also work with Vermandere, a specialist in professional ventilation systems for commercial kitchens.

For vapour recovery from appliances, we work with:

  • Electrolux Professional: Electrolux Professional’s SkyLine ovens and dishwashers come fitted with integrated vapour recovery as standard, ensuring a more efficient kitchen without the need for unnecessary extraction systems.
  • Convotherm: The Convotherm 4 combi-steamers feature a built-in vapour recovery system that captures and reuses steam — resulting in less energy loss and reduced strain on the extraction system.
