KS Steel Engineering is a Victorian stainless steel fabricator with 13 years of operation, based in Epping, Melbourne. We manufacture commercial canopies, the exhaust hoods that sit over commercial cooking equipment, and the exhaust ductwork that connects them to the roof.
Buying a canopy from a local manufacturer means one point of contact for design questions, changes during fabrication, and site installation. We make the canopy ourselves rather than reselling an imported unit, so size, filter layout and duct connection points are set around your kitchen.
Whether the kitchen is a metropolitan restaurant, a hotel dining room or a food production site, the process starts the same way: we scope the cooking line, the space and the duct route, then fabricate to suit.
- Custom commercial canopies fabricated to your cooking line and ceiling height
- Exhaust ductwork, fan boxes and rooftop fans supplied and installed
- Stainless steel wall cladding and fire-rated wall systems around the cooking area
- Standalone canopy scope or part of a complete kitchen fit-out
What Kind of Kitchens Need a Commercial Canopy
Any kitchen that cooks with heat, oil or open flame at commercial scale needs mechanical exhaust over the cooking equipment. That covers a wide range of Victorian businesses.
- Restaurants, cafes and takeaways
- Hotels, pubs and clubs
- Aged care, school and institutional kitchens
- Bakeries and food manufacturing sites
- Catering and commissary kitchens
Scoping a Job Anywhere in Victoria
For jobs outside metropolitan Melbourne we work from information first. Send us the site address, a kitchen layout or equipment list, ceiling height, the expected duct route and a few photos. From that we can scope the canopy, ductwork and fan and tell you what we still need to confirm.
Because the canopy is fabricated in our Epping workshop, delivery and installation are planned as one job. Tell us your preferred timing and any constraints on site access, trading hours or the building, and we will plan around them.
If you are a builder or shopfitter managing the fit-out, we can work to your program and coordinate with the other trades around the exhaust system.
Exhaust Canopy, Ductwork and Fan as One System
A commercial exhaust hood does not work alone. It needs ductwork sized for the airflow, a fan that suits the duct run, and a discharge point on the roof. When the canopy, duct and fan are designed together, the whole system is easier to commission and to maintain.
We make and install all three, so there is no gap between a canopy supplier and a duct contractor.
Standards and Approvals
Commercial kitchen exhaust in Australia is governed by AS 1668.2, and the performance of surrounding construction is addressed by standards such as AS 1530. The requirements for your premises depend on the building classification, the cooking equipment and your local council.
We fabricate to the design and approvals for your project. Read more about our approach on the compliance page, or talk to us about your site.
