We recently completed an exciting project in collaboration with Sunset Catering, delivering a fully bespoke extraction solution designed to support their upgraded kitchen layout and new cooking equipment. This installation showcases the level of detail, craftsmanship, and engineering precision that Canopy UK brings to every commercial kitchen environment.
A Tailored Extraction System Built for Performance
At the heart of the project is a custom‑built extraction canopy featuring integrated air supply and high‑efficiency baffle filters. The canopy was designed specifically to suit the operational demands of the site, ensuring optimal airflow, effective grease capture, and compliance with current commercial kitchen ventilation standards.
The new canopy was installed directly over a Rational oven and additional new cooking equipment, forming a complete extraction zone that supports both performance and safety. By tailoring the canopy dimensions and airflow calculations to the exact equipment footprint, we ensured maximum efficiency and a comfortable working environment for the kitchen team.
Seamless Collaboration with Sunset Catering
This project was delivered in close partnership with Sunset Catering, who were upgrading their kitchen to support increased capacity and a more diverse menu. Working side‑by‑side allowed us to coordinate installation timings, equipment positioning, and service routes, ensuring the entire system integrated smoothly into the new layout.
Our teams worked collaboratively from the design phase through to installation, ensuring every detail — from canopy height to ducting routes — aligned perfectly with the client’s operational needs.
Attention to Aesthetics as Well as Engineering
Beyond performance, the visual finish of the installation was also a priority. All fan boxes were powder‑coated in grey, chosen specifically to complement the building’s interior aesthetic. This subtle but important detail helps the system blend seamlessly into its surroundings, maintaining a clean, professional appearance throughout the kitchen and plant areas.
Powder coating not only enhances the look of the equipment but also provides additional durability, protecting the units from wear, corrosion, and the demanding conditions of a commercial kitchen environment.
A Future‑Ready Ventilation Solution
The completed installation provides Sunset Catering with a robust, efficient, and future‑proof extraction system capable of supporting their expanding operations. With improved airflow, enhanced filtration, and a bespoke design tailored to their equipment, the kitchen is now equipped to handle high‑volume cooking safely and effectively.
This project is a great example of how thoughtful design, quality manufacturing, and close collaboration can transform a kitchen space — delivering both performance and style.
