Do deck ovens and conveyor ovens need a canopy?

Most commercial ovens that produce heat, steam or fumes need extraction. We scope each oven individually.

Can you supply the wall protection too?

Yes. We fabricate stainless steel heat-shield and fire-rated wall sheeting to go with 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 Pizza Ovens

Pizza ovens put out intense radiant and convective heat, plus smoke and ash in the case of wood-fired units. The canopy above has to deal with a hot, fast plume without making the kitchen unbearable.

We fabricate custom canopies for gas, electric, deck and wood-fired ovens, and coordinate the flue and extraction so the oven manufacturer's requirements are respected.

Designed Around the Oven

Wood-fired and other solid-fuel ovens have different requirements from gas or electric units. We review these with your designer and the oven supplier before we fabricate.

Extended front overhang to catch heat when the oven door opens
High-temperature stainless construction and suitable filters
Provision for the oven flue connection
Heat shields and stainless wall protection behind the oven
Compact designs for tight pizzeria layouts

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, but solid-fuel appliances carry extra requirements for flues, clearances and approvals. We design the canopy with your designer, the oven supplier and the relevant authority.
