How we approach kitchen extraction in Whitstable
Where gas appliances are used, the gas supply is normally interlocked with the ventilation so cooking cannot run without extract, as BS 6173 sets out. Planning conditions often require odour control and limits on noise at the discharge.
Odour control and interlocks
Carbon filters or other odour control to meet planning, and gas interlock systems.
Wall and island canopies
Stainless steel canopies with baffle grease filters and lighting.
