Commercial Kitchen Canopies for Thai Restaurants

Thai cooking uses high-heat woks, simmering curry pots and charcoal or gas grills, with chilli, garlic and aromatics that create strong vapours. The canopy has to take these away quickly.

We fabricate canopies to the layout of your wok and curry line and supply the duct and fan.

High Heat and Strong Aromas

Open kitchens are common in Thai restaurants. We can fabricate the canopy with a clean finish for the front of house.

  • Wok stations with high-output burners
  • Curry and soup pots on stockpot burners
  • Grills and fryers on the same line
  • Fan sizing and discharge location for chilli and garlic smoke
  • Easy-clean filters and gutters

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.
