Can you work with my shopfitter?

Yes. We regularly supply canopies as part of a wider fit-out and coordinate with builders and shopfitters.

Can you supply the benches as well?

Yes. We fabricate stainless steel benches, shelving and splashbacks to match the canopy.

How do I get a quote?

Send us your kitchen layout or equipment list, the site address and a few photos. We will scope the canopy and ductwork and come back with a quote.

Does the canopy need to meet Australian Standards?

Commercial kitchen ventilation in Australia is governed by AS 1668.2, along with building and fire requirements that depend on the site. We fabricate to the design and approvals for your project; see our compliance page.

Commercial Kitchen Canopies for Cafes

Cafe kitchens are small, busy from early morning and often fitted into tenancies not designed for cooking. A cafe still needs a proper canopy over the grill, fryer or cooktop so heat and grease are taken out of the space.

We make cafe canopies to the room you have, then run the duct and fan to the roof or wall discharge in the same job.

What Matters in a Cafe Kitchen

Many cafes are fitted out within a landlord's constraints. We can work with your builder or shopfitter to agree duct routes and penetrations before fabrication.

Compact canopies for short cooking lines and low ceilings
Duct routes that work in older shop tenancies
Quiet, well-sized fans so the dining room is not disturbed
Stainless splashbacks and benches matched to the canopy
Easy-clean filters for daily cleaning

How We Build It

KS Steel Engineering has been operating for 13 years from Epping. You send us the layout or equipment list and a few site photos; we confirm measurements, scope the canopy, ducting and fan, and quote. The canopy is fabricated in our Epping workshop, then our team delivers and installs it and connects the ductwork and fan.

Because we make the canopy ourselves, changes to size, filter layout or duct connection points are handled at the fabrication stage rather than on site.

Standards, and Where We Install

Commercial kitchen ventilation in Australia is governed by AS 1668.2, and other requirements cover the fire performance of surrounding construction. What applies depends on the building, the cooking equipment and your local authority. We fabricate to the design and approvals for your project.

Our workshop is at Unit 1/22 Salicki Ave, Epping. We install across Melbourne, including the northern suburbs of Lalor, Thomastown, Mill Park, Bundoora, South Morang, Whittlesea, Reservoir, Preston, Campbellfield, Broadmeadows and Craigieburn, plus Altona, Dandenong, Clyde and Geelong. We have also completed projects in regional Victoria (Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton, Mildura, Wodonga, Seymour, Moe and Drouin) and in Canberra. Stock photos on this page are illustrative and are not KS Steel projects.

Every kitchen cooks differently. These pages cover the equipment and layout of other kitchens we fabricate for.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have cooking equipment that produces heat, steam or grease, you will normally need extraction. Requirements depend on the equipment and the building, so confirm with your designer and council.
