Basically, commercial vent hood design is usually split into six main styles,

  • Single Island Canopy: That is ceiling mounted that overhangs all fours sides of a single-aisle of your cooking equipment.
  • Double Island Canopy: this one is ceiling mounted that overhangs all four sides of a double aisle of your cooking equipment.
  • Wall Mounted Canopy: This one is wall mounted to the overhang with three sides of a single row of cooking equipment that is attached up against a wall.
  • Back Shelf Hood: It can either be wall-mounted as well as free-standing, they are normally used above counter height equipment with the front overhang set back from the leading edge of the equipment that allows headroom for workers.
  • Eyebrow Style Hood: This one is actually directly mounted to the leading edge of pizza and deck ovens.
  • Pass-Over Style Hood: It is used for counter height equipment when a plate passing configuration from the cooking side to the serving side is needed.
