• Restaurant Hood's Proper Ventilation


  • Having proper ventilation for your restaurant is imperative for employee and customer health as well as food sanitation. Improper ventilation can result in safety violations, higher utility bills, decreased employee productivity, and even flaring tempers from customers as well as employees. It can also result in loss of traffic due to unpleasant odors or uncomfortable conditions.

    Some of the problems caused by poor ventilation

    1. Poor ventilation: Stale Air
      The stale air is usually caused by the cooking smells, people smoking, the odours remaining in the bathroom, a general lack of ventilation around the house as well as by a damp atmosphere. All these problems can cause an certain level of discomfort(which can be avoided!) as well as the risk of respiratory illness and general poor health.
    2. Poor ventilation: Condensation
      Problems can occur when the steam from the kitchen / the bathroom finds cooler surfaces around the house on which to condense. When we attempt to conserve the heat by sealing the windows – and therefore reducing the natural ventilation – we actually make this problem even worse. Condensation can cause some considerable problems from peeling wallpaper and mold growth to severe structural damage such as wood rot and damp.
