Stainless Steel Vent Hoods

Why pay more? HoodFilters.com carries restaurant quality stainless steel hoods for commercial kitchens at the lowest prices guaranteed. All of our stainless steel vent hoods are ETL and NSF rated and are available in a variety of sizes for restaurants and cooking facilities including concession trailer exhaust hoods and food truck. Stainless steel hoods can be purchased individually or as part of a stainless vent hood and upblast exhaust fan package.

Our selection of commercial kitchen stainless steel vent hoods include both Type 1 hoods and Type 2 hoods. A Type 1 stainless steel vent hood is designed for use with cooking appliances that produce grease and smoke, such as deep fryers and grills. They help capture, trap, and exhaust the grease, smoke, and grime as well as heat, moisture, and cooking odors.

If your kitchen does wok cooking over an open flame cooktop, a Type 1 stainless steel hood would be the perfect choice. Most Type 1 commercial vent hoods are also installed with a makeup air fan to replace the contaminated air being exhausted with fresh, clean air.

Type 1 stainless steel hoods must be regularly cleaned to keep grease and oil from building up on the hood surface. If a stainless vent hood is not properly maintained it can quickly put your facility at risk for fire. Dirty stainless steel hoods coated in grease are highly flammable and can set off a chain reaction fire that quickly goes from your cooktop to your rooftop..

Regular cleaning of your stainless steel cooker hood is so important that it is required by National Fire Protection Association fire codes and many local regulations. Insurance carriers often drop coverage or increase premiums for commercial kitchens not in compliance with applicable fire safety requirements.

Fire safety is of utmost importance, but grime covered stainless steel vent hoods are also less effective, which significantly impacts the air quality in your kitchen as well as your facility’s dining areas. In addition, the sticky surfaces of a dirty hood will collect dirt and dust, breed bacteria, and eventually begin to make the entire kitchen smell bad. HoodFilters.com carries a wide selection of essential hood accessories such as grease cups and drains as well as stainless steel vent hood cleaning supplies to keep your Type 1 stainless steel hood both clean and safe.

Type 2 stainless steel hoods are designed to exhaust only heat, condensation, and cooking odors. They are commonly installed over dishwashers, steam cooking appliances, and some pizza ovens. The main job of these condensate hoods is to keep your kitchen environment at comfortable temperature and humidity level.

Exhaust hoods are often overlooked but they are a fundamental component of your restaurant hood system. Shop online at www.HoodFilters.com or call +1 877.394.9731 to place your order with one of our product specialists.
