Maintain a safer, cleaner and more comfortable work environment with Caterware’s range of commercial kitchen range hoods. Designed for professional kitchens, these systems help remove smoke, steam, grease and odours from cooking equipment, supporting food safety, staff comfort and compliance with ventilation requirements.
Our bench top filtered range hoods are ideal for compact commercial kitchens, food courts and café counters where ducting options are limited. These benchtop range hoods use high-efficiency filters to capture grease and airborne particles, helping to control odour and improve air quality around fryers, grills and benchtop cooking appliances. For larger operations, our range hood and workbench systems combine a robust stainless-steel bench with an overhead hood, creating a ready-to-use cooking station that simplifies layout and installation.
Built with durability in mind, Caterware’s kitchen hoods feature quality filtration, easy-access panels for cleaning and strong extraction performance. With models available in 750mm, 1000mm, 1200mm, 1500mm and 1800mm widths, there is a solution for everything from small café kitchens through to high-output commercial cooking lines. Our team can help you match the right kitchen exhaust hood to your equipment load, menu and available space.
Whether you are fitting out a new venue or upgrading existing equipment, Caterware supplies reliable range hoods that support compliance, reduce grease build-up and improve day-to-day kitchen operations for businesses across the Gold Coast and Australia.
FAQs – Commercial Range Hoods
What is the purpose of a commercial range hood?
A commercial range hood removes smoke, steam, grease and odours from the cooking area. This helps protect staff comfort, improve air quality and reduce grease build-up on surfaces and equipment.
Do I need a ducted or ductless range hood?
It depends on your site and compliance requirements. Ducted systems exhaust air outside the building, while ductless filter hoods recirculate air through filters. Many cafés and small venues use ductless options, but larger kitchens often require ducted kitchen exhaust hoods to handle higher cooking loads.
What is a benchtop rangehood?
A benchtop rangehood or bench top filtered range hood is a compact unit that sits over countertop equipment and uses internal filters rather than full ductwork. It is ideal for small commercial kitchens and food court operations where traditional ducted systems are difficult to install.
What size range hood do I need for my kitchen?
Your range hood should typically match or slightly exceed the width of your cooking line. Common options include 750mm, 1000mm, 1200mm, 1500mm and 1800mm. You should also consider the heat and smoke output of your equipment and any local ventilation guidelines.
Are filtered range hoods suitable for all cooking equipment?
Filtered bench top range hoods are well suited to light and medium-duty electric equipment. Heavy-duty frying, chargrilling or wok cooking may require a more powerful ducted kitchen hood. Always check the hood’s specifications against your equipment.
How often do range hood filters need to be cleaned?
For busy commercial kitchens, filters should be inspected and cleaned regularly—often weekly or as recommended by the manufacturer. Clean filters improve extraction performance and reduce fire risk.
