Exhaust Systems

Exhaust systems remove heat, grease-laden air, fumes, moisture or odours directly at the source before they spread into occupied space: kitchen extraction canopies, toilet exhaust, generator and plant room exhaust, and industrial fume extraction. Frosten designs and installs exhaust systems sized to the heat and contaminant load of each application.

Key Features

Source Capture Design

Canopies and hoods positioned to capture heat and fumes before they disperse.

Grease Filtration

Baffle or mesh grease filters on kitchen extraction, reducing fire risk and duct fouling.

Corrosion-Resistant Ductwork

Stainless or coated ducting for grease, moisture and chemical exhaust duty.

High Airflow Extraction

Fan and duct sizing matched to heat load or air-change requirement.

Fire-Rated Duct Options

Available for kitchen canopy runs per fire code requirements.

Benefits

  • Removes heat, grease and fumes at source rather than relying on dilution
  • Reduces kitchen fire risk through proper grease filtration and duct design
  • Improves working conditions in kitchens, plant rooms and industrial areas
  • Sized correctly to avoid the noise and energy waste of an oversized system

Typical Applications

  • Commercial Kitchens
  • Toilets & Washrooms
  • Generator & Plant Rooms
  • Industrial Fume Extraction
  • Car Parks
  • Laboratories

Available Capacities

  • Kitchen canopy: sized to cooking line heat load
  • Toilet exhaust: per fixture count and code air-change rate
  • Industrial: sized to specific process contaminant load

Optional Accessories

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does kitchen extraction ductwork need cleaning?

This depends on cooking volume and risk category, but commercial kitchen extraction typically requires grease filter cleaning weekly to monthly and full duct cleaning every 3–12 months to manage fire risk.

Can exhaust and fresh air supply be combined in one design?

Yes, kitchens in particular usually need a balanced design where extraction is matched with adequate make-up fresh air; we design these together rather than in isolation.
