What Is a Type II Commercial Hood?

A Type II commercial hood is a ventilation system engineered to remove heat, steam, and non-combustible airborne moisture, rather than grease or smoke. These systems are commonly installed in commercial dishwashing areas and pot sinks, bakery ovens and proofing rooms where humidity levels are high, prep stations that generate steam during food preparation, and utility rooms or other spaces containing moisture-producing equipment.

It is important to note that Type II hoods are not designed for grease-producing cooking appliances. Equipment such as fryers, grills, ranges, and charbroilers require a Type I hood system that is specifically built to handle grease-laden vapors and fire suppression requirements.

Our Type II hood services (what we do)

We deliver an end-to-end service, from site evaluation to commissioning and ongoing maintenance:

Site assessment & airflow survey

Measure steam loads, condensation points, and existing HVAC interactions to size the system correctly.

Custom hood & duct design

CAD drawings and CFM calculations tailored to your equipment layout and room geometry.

Make-up air & integration

Design tempered or modulating make-up air to replace exhausted air without overcooling or pressurizing the kitchen.

Fabrication & professional installation

Stainless steel hoods, properly sloped ductwork, and insulated runs where required to prevent condensation.

Air balancing & commissioning

Confirm correct exhaust rates, verify CFM, and test hood performance under operational load.

Documentation & compliance

Provide mechanical drawings, test reports, equipment specs, and inspection support for local authorities.

Preventive maintenance plans

Scheduled inspections to prevent clogging, microbial growth, condensation buildup, and fan degradation.

Operator training & handover

On-site walkthrough, control calibration guidance, and simple maintenance training so staff operate the system correctly and spot issues early.
