Kitchen ventilation hoods are the most safety-critical component of any commercial kitchen installation in Dubai and the UAE — capturing the grease-laden vapour, heat, steam and combustion products generated by cooking appliances before they can contaminate the kitchen environment, cause fire hazards or trigger building fire alarm systems. Kitco supplies and installs commercial kitchen extraction hoods as part of complete kitchen ventilation systems for restaurants, hotels, ghost kitchens and institutional catering facilities across Dubai and the UAE. Every hood installation is designed to meet Dubai Municipality ventilation requirements and Dubai Civil Defence fire safety standards — compliance that is evaluated at both the plan approval and kitchen inspection stages of the DM food premises licensing process.
DM Ventilation Requirements and Extract Volume Calculation for Dubai Commercial Kitchens
Dubai Municipality specifies minimum extraction rates for commercial kitchen hoods based on the appliances installed beneath the hood and the total heat load generated. As a general guide, extraction rates range from 300–600 m³/hr per metre of hood length above standard cooking appliances (ranges, fryers, griddles), rising to 800–1200 m³/hr per metre above high-intensity appliances such as solid-fuel ovens and commercial wok ranges. These extraction rates must be met before DM issues a food premises licence. Kitco prepares the ventilation engineering calculation and extract volume schedule required for DM plan submissions, ensuring your kitchen ventilation design is correctly documented for the approval process and any DM technical review queries can be addressed promptly.
Wall-Mounted vs Island Extraction Hoods — Configuration for Your Kitchen Layout
The hood configuration depends on the position of your cooking battery relative to the kitchen walls. Wall-mounted hoods are positioned above cooking suites set against a wall — the most space-efficient layout for restaurant and hotel kitchens where the cooking line faces the kitchen and the back wall is used for equipment positioning. Island hoods are suspended from the ceiling above freestanding cooking batteries positioned in the centre of the kitchen, typically in hotel main kitchens and large institutional kitchen operations where island cooking suite layouts improve workflow around the cooking station. Island hoods require higher extraction rates than equivalent wall hoods of the same length due to vapour rise being open on all four sides rather than contained by the wall behind the cooking equipment.
Kitco supplies, installs and services commercial kitchen extraction hoods for every scale of UAE food service operation. Our team prepares DM ventilation drawings, coordinates ductwork connections and commissions extraction fans to the designed extraction rate.
