This exhaust hood was flued through the back wall.
In this situation we can either make a flue cover going all the way to the roof, or a smaller flue cover like the one shown. |
Examples of custom made exhaust hoods.
In 90% of cases, we can manufacture a standard exhaust hood for our client.
In the remaining cases, we need to custom make an exhaust hood.
Example A: required a custom made hood because the client did not want to damage the
ceiling and wanted a unique look.
Example B: required a custom hood because they didn't have enough height between
their barbecue and their exhaust hood which would have made a normal installation illegal
(see Frequently Asked Questions below for specific information about height requirements).
Example C :required a custom hood because they had a window above their barbecue.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do I have to install an exhaust hood above my barbecue?
If your alfresco area is classed as enclosed (ie, more than 50% enclosed) then you must install an exhaust hood above your barbecue which complies with Energy Safety laws (see below). Even if your alfresco is not classed as enclosed, many clients choose to install an exhaust hood to extract fumes and to protect their ceiling.
2. What are the Energy Safety laws that apply to alfresco areas?
First of all you must determine if your alfresco area is classed as "enclosed" or "outdoors". See The Energy Safety Website for more information or click this link.
In a nutshell, if your alfresco area is classed as "enclosed" you must comply with the following:
I. Your bbq must have flame failure devices fitted to every burner and be licensed for indoor use (be aware that there are some bbqs on the market that have flame failure devices fitted but they are NOT licensed for indoor use).
II. Your bbq must have a commercial grade exhaust hood that moves a minimum of 2000 cubic metres of air per hour.
III. Your barbecue must be installed on a non-combustible surface
3. What size exhaust hood do I need to install?

This customer required an
1800mm exhaust hood to
cover the bbq and pizza oven
|
For sufficient ventilation, you need to install an exhaust hood that is as wide or wider than your barbecue. For example, if your barbecue is 900mm, then you require an exhaust that is 900mm wide or greater. If you have a separate wok installed in your cabinets, then you should ensure that your exhaust hood covers the wok area as well as the barbecue. Also, if you have a pizza oven that is not separately flued, then this should be placed under the exhaust hood.
4.What height does my exhaust hood need to be?
Energy Safety Regulations specify the height at which an exhaust hood must be installed when over a barbecue. If the barbecue has an open grill, the exhaust hood must be installed at least 1200mm above the height of the open grill due to fat fires. This is so that the flames cannot be sucked up into the exhaust hood. If the barbecue has a full hotplate, then the exhaust hood must be installed at least 900mm above the height of the hotplate. If you do not have sufficient height in your alfresco area, you will need a custom made exhaust hood that satisfies the height requirements. These custom made hoods are slimmer than our standard hoods. We can also install the
exhaust hood in the ceiling cavity to satisfy height requirements.
