HoodMart is Here to Help You Find the Perfect Fit for Your Kitchen
Selecting the right restaurant hood is one of the most critical decisions for your commercial kitchen. It’s not just about meeting code requirements—choosing the right hood directly impacts your kitchen’s efficiency, safety, and air quality. With numerous options available, from different sizes and styles to various features, knowing which hood suits your needs can be overwhelming. In this guide, the experts at HoodMart will break down what you need to consider, so you can make an informed choice that will keep your kitchen running smoothly.
Assess Your Kitchen Layout and Cooking Needs
Every commercial kitchen is unique, and the first step in selecting a hood is to understand your kitchen’s layout and cooking volume. Are you managing a high-heat environment with multiple fryers and grills, or does your operation focus on lighter cooking with griddles and ovens? The type and amount of cooking equipment you have directly influence the hood you need. For instance, high-volume kitchens require a Type 1 hood, designed to handle grease-laden vapors and smoke, while a Type 2 hood is ideal for non-grease-producing appliances like steamers and dishwashers.
