PM2.5 from cooking spikes 20x in restaurant kitchens. Staff health, dining room comfort, and compliance all depend on proper ventilation.

The problem

What's in the air of every busy kitchen

Commercial cooking generates PM2.5, CO, VOCs, and heat — all simultaneously, all day.

600+

PM2.5 µg/m³ peaks

Tandoor, deep fryers, grills — combined cooking can push kitchen PM2.5 to 40x the WHO limit.

High

CO levels

Gas cooking produces carbon monoxide. Without proper exhaust, it accumulates to dangerous staff-exposure levels.

Grease

Cross-contamination

Cooking fumes spread to dining areas. Guest clothes smell of food. Fabric-lined walls absorb grease.

Our solution

Commercial kitchen ventilation, done right

Exhaust hoods alone aren't enough. You need balanced make-up air and dining room separation.

Installation
01

Make-up air systems

For every cubic foot of exhaust, you need equal make-up. Without it, kitchens go into negative pressure.

02

Grease filtration stages

Multi-stage grease traps before the exhaust fan. Reduces fire risk and rooftop cleanup.

03

Dining room fresh air

Dedicated ventilation keeps dining rooms free of kitchen smells. Guests enjoy food without wearing it.

04

Staff safety monitoring

CO sensors near cooking stations. Automatic alerts if levels approach occupational safety limits.
