Commercial Ductless Canopy Hoods
Commercial ductless canopy hoods and recirculating kitchen extraction systems for sites where external ductwork is difficult, expensive, restricted or not permitted. Ideal for many electric and induction catering applications, internal units, cafés, kiosks, food halls, event spaces and commercial kitchens with limited duct routes.
No External Ducting? A Ductless Canopy May Be the Answer
If you are searching for a commercial ductless canopy hood, recirculating commercial kitchen canopy, ductless kitchen extractor, commercial cooker hood with no ducting or a no external ducting extraction system, this page is designed to help you choose the right route.
Ductless and recirculating systems can be useful where a traditional external duct route is not practical, where planning is difficult, or where the kitchen is inside a building with no suitable route to atmosphere.
Choose the Right Ductless Canopy Option
The right ductless commercial kitchen canopy depends on the cooking equipment, heat load, grease level, odour risk, airflow requirement, room size, replacement air, filter access and whether the system is fully recirculating or hybrid.
I need a complete ductless canopy
For customers who need a stainless steel canopy, filtration, fan/control options and recirculation system supplied together.
I cannot install external ductwork
Useful for internal units, shopping centres, listed buildings, restricted façades or sites where outside discharge is not allowed.
I have electric or induction cooking
Ductless recirculating canopy systems are often best suited to electric and induction-based cooking rather than heavy gas cooking.
I need planning or landlord support
Ask about specification information that may help with planning, landlord, building management or internal approval discussions.
I need odour and grease control
Filtration can include grease, particulate and odour-control stages depending on the cooking process and nuisance risk.
Ductless Systems Need the Right Application
A ductless canopy is not always the right answer for every commercial kitchen. Heavy frying, chargrilling, solid fuel, very high grease loads or strong odour-producing menus may need a more detailed design review or a hybrid/external discharge solution.
For better advice, send us your cooking equipment list, fuel type, expected menu, canopy size, room size and any site restrictions. This helps avoid buying the wrong extraction system.
Commercial Ductless Canopy and Recirculation Packages
Ductless Canopy Hoods
Stainless steel commercial ductless canopy hoods for suitable electric and induction catering applications where external ducting is restricted.
Recirculating Kitchen Extractors
Commercial recirculating extractor systems designed to filter and return treated air back into the space where suitable.
Hybrid Extraction Options
Where full recirculation is not suitable, hybrid systems can filter the air before controlled discharge where the site allows.
Bespoke Filtration Units
Tailored filtration, airflow, canopy and unit layouts can be considered for franchises, internal units and unusual kitchen spaces.
What Can Be Included?
Stainless Steel Canopy
Commercial kitchen canopy with baffle filters, grease collection and practical stainless steel fabrication options.
Grease and Particle Filtration
Filter stages can be configured to help manage grease, smoke and airborne particles from suitable cooking processes.
Odour Control Filtration
Activated carbon and odour-control stages can be considered where cooking smells may create nuisance or approval issues.
Fan and Controls
Fan and control options can be matched to the airflow, filter resistance, cooking load and recirculation unit layout.
Specification Support
Useful information can be prepared for landlords, building management, planning discussions or internal approval.
Heat Recovery Options
Where practical, heat recovery or hybrid ventilation can be considered to improve energy efficiency and comfort.
Designed for Sites Where Ductwork Is Difficult
A ductless commercial kitchen canopy can be a practical route where a standard extractor and external duct run would be too expensive, too disruptive, refused by the landlord, restricted by planning, or physically difficult to install.

Need Help Choosing a Ductless Canopy?
Ductless kitchen extraction is more technical than buying a standard cooker hood. The right system depends on cooking equipment, menu type, heat load, grease level, odour risk, room size, ceiling height, airflow, filter access and whether any air can be discharged outside.
Send us your kitchen details and we will help you assess whether a ductless canopy, recirculating extractor, hybrid system or another ventilation approach is the best option.
Best details to send: cooking equipment list, gas or electric appliances, menu type, canopy size if known, room size, whether any outside ducting is possible, postcode and any photos or sketches of the kitchen.
Commercial ductless kitchen canopy recirculation systems are designed to address ventilation needs without requiring ductwork that exhausts air outdoors. Instead of venting outside, these systems filter and treat the air, making them a potential solution for kitchens where traditional ducted ventilation is not possible.
Our advanced ventilation systems provide an ideal solution for kitchens where external ducting is not possible. Designed to deliver kitchen filtration in enclosed spaces, these systems are perfect for addressing the challenges of limited ventilation options.
Our commercial ductless kitchen canopy recirculation units are engineered to work seamlessly with electric and induction-based catering equipment, offering an efficient alternative in cases where planning permission for external ducting is difficult or denied by local councils. We also provide detailed unit specifications that can be submitted as part of planning applications, streamlining the approval process.
For businesses looking for tailored solutions, we specialize in designing bespoke systems to meet the unique requirements of franchises or individual catering operations. Our extensive product range includes models with airflows from 0.5 m³/s to 4 m³/s, suitable for small or large-scale kitchens. Additionally, these systems can operate in a hybrid mode, where air is filtered and then safely discharged outside, ensuring optimal air quality.
One of the key benefits of our commercial ductless systems is the ability to integrate air-to-air heat recovery. This technology repurposes the heat generated from cooking, using it to warm other areas of the building, reducing overall energy consumption and improving operational efficiency.
Why choose our ductless recirculation systems?
Flexible ventilation solutions: Ideal for spaces where external ducting is not feasible.
Planning permission support: We provide detailed specifications for submission to local councils.
Tailored designs: Customized to meet the needs of franchises and individual catering businesses.
Energy-efficient options: Hybrid models with air-to-air heat recovery can reduce energy costs and improve sustainability.
Versatile airflow options: Available in a range of sizes with airflows from 0.5 m³/s to 4 m³/s, suitable for both small and large kitchens.
