Kitchen-Specific Performance, Backed by Experience
Commercial kitchens demand ducting systems that can handle constant use, high temperatures, and heavy airborne grease. We manufacture ductwork that holds up in these conditions. Each duct is tailored to meet the safety, cleanliness, and airflow requirements of commercial kitchens.
We supply kitchen ducting systems for:
- Restaurants and cafés
- Commercial and institutional kitchens
- Food courts and retail kitchens
- Aged care and health facilities
- Hotels, resorts, and event venues
Our ducting supports:
- Grease and smoke exhaust
- High-heat airflows
- Contaminant capture and removal
- Fire-rated ventilation (where required)
Engineered for Specific Kitchen Settings
Our ductwork is engineered for kitchen applications, including return air, make-up air, and kitchen exhaust systems.
Why Kitchen Ductwork Matters
Effective ductwork is critical in maintaining a safe and comfortable cooking environment. In busy commercial kitchens, ducting helps to:
- Control heat and remove hot air, keeping cooking areas manageable for staff.
- Extract grease-laden air and smoke, reducing fire risk and maintaining air quality.
- Support range hoods and kitchen exhaust fans to manage the flow of air and odours effectively.
- Prevent moisture build-up, which can lead to mould or cooking equipment damage.
- Protect cooking appliances and surfaces through proper grease and heat control.
- Comply with health and building regulations, including a proper ventilation system and hygiene standards.
- Improve energy efficiency by working with fans and make-up air systems to balance air movement.
We work with high-quality materials with high corrosion resistance, including:
- Stainless steel (multiple grades)
- Galvanised steel
- Aluminium
- Fire-resistant and grease-resistant coatings
We source locally where possible, including Australian-made Bluescope steel for galvanised and coated applications. We choose the right material for each system based on temperature, airflow load, cleaning requirements, and environmental exposure.
Our top-quality ductwork is engineered for durability, featuring:
- Welded and sealed joins
- Reinforced bends and flanges
- Smooth internal finishes for grease control
- Fire-rated options to meet building and fire codes
We manufacture all common and custom ductwork components, including:
- Straights, bends, reducers, tees
- Canopy connections, kitchen hoods, and plenum boxes
- Access panels and clean-out doors
- Dampers, transitions, and mounting brackets
We also supply brackets, clamps, and fittings as needed to support system stability and ease of installation.
