An essential part of any catering establishment or kitchen facility, a commercial kitchen extraction system removes the by-products of cooking processes from the air, such as: grease, smoke, heat, steam and odours. This ensures a healthy and safe working environment for members of staff and customers alike, who may otherwise be harmed by the presence of harmful by-products in the air around them.
In the workplace, managers and owners are duly liable for the safety of their employees and the public, and you can rest assured that when it comes to commercial kitchen extraction system design and installation, Copper’s team of engineers use the latest BESA (Building Engineering Services Association) specification for kitchen ventilation systems (DW/172 second edition 2018). It is our duty to ensure that every kitchen ventilation system we install complies with the very latest of health and safety regulations.

The design, style and overall look of your all-new commercial kitchen extraction system can comprise a number of different configurations; all dependent on the layout and requirements of your kitchen, or kitchen-to-be. Many other factors may effect the design process of your extraction system, such as site specific constructional details, current kitchen appliance locations, building location and the choice of fuel used by appliances within the kitchen, such as: gas, electric or charcoal.
An efficient design for a commercial kitchen extraction system will ultimately ensure that the environment is healthy and that toxins and harmful by-products from combustion are removed from the air. This is not just for the benefit of the employees of the given work environment, but to also protect the air quality of surrounding areas for residents.
When designing your commercial kitchen extraction system and canopy, Copper will work to ensure that the design firstly, complies with all commercial kitchen extraction regulations, and secondly, meets the requirements of your kitchen operation. The designs created for the installation of these systems are detailed, and work to an exact, bespoke, specification.
Copper will begin the design process for your new commercial kitchen extraction system and canopy with a site visit and survey to assess initial requirements; this will be followed by a report consisting of initial findings and first draft of plans. Subsequently these plans will be amended, submitted for permissions, and discharge of planning conditions; the entirety of which will be overseen by the Copper team.
