Why this kitchen canopie earns its place
This is Lincat's SmartVent canopy — a stainless steel extraction hood built to sit over 1200mm of cooking line. Where a fully bespoke ventilation system means custom fabrication, drawings and a build lead time, Lincat's own line on this range is that it's a cost-effective alternative: a specified, ready canopy rather than a made-to-measure project.
The canopy body is a low-profile 740mm high, which matters in kitchens where ceiling height is already tight and every centimetre above the cookline counts. At 1200mm wide and 1200mm deep, it's sized for a defined run of equipment rather than a whole kitchen, so it suits a single cooking bank or a smaller kitchen footprint without over-specifying.
Construction is stainless steel throughout, finished silver — the standard for anything sitting directly above live cooking, where grease, heat and cleaning chemicals are a daily reality. It's a substantial piece of kit at 70kg gross, so it's worth planning the lift and mounting into the install rather than treating it as a two-minute job.
