Is stainless steel required for a school canteen?

Stainless steel is a hygienic, durable choice and widely used. Your designer and food business registration will confirm what applies to your canteen.

Can you quote through a school's builder or council?

Yes. We provide scoped quotes that can be passed to the project manager or builder.

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 School Canteens

School canteens run to a tight timetable: short, intense lunch and recess services, then idle time. The kitchens are often small and share a building with classrooms, so noise, safety and cleaning matter.

We fabricate canopies and exhaust systems for canteen refurbishments and new canteens, sized to the equipment and compatible with the school's building works.

What Schools Need From a Canteen Canopy

Canteen work is usually done during school holidays. Contact us early so we can agree dates, access and the duct route with the school or its builder.

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.
