Cavalier’s Steam Hoods are for the capture & treatment of exhaust fume that contains no grease. Primarily used above dishwashers or washing equipment, pizza & combi-ovens, the hood uses a larger footprint to capture, treat & remove the volume of steam that is produced. All steam hoods are made from stainless steel & feature a drain that can be released manually or connected to a trade waste system.

Residential Hoods are designed & fabricated with a homely feel to make your cooking or entertaining areas really standout while still being functional & compliant. These can be installed internally in your kitchen or externally with your outside entertainment. All our Residential Hoods are of a custom design that is controlled by you to ensure that you are 100% happy with your product.

The Classic Hoods range are our most often used hoods as they are compact & can treat most fumes from your cooking (Not solid fuel cooking). The grease filters remove a large percentage of grease & pollutants which is then drained into catchment pots for ease of disposal. The filters themselves are removable & can be replaced with clean filters to ensure minimal down time for your kitchen.

Cavalier’s Energy Efficient Hoods are our most versatile hoods. With a larger containment volume than or Classic Hoods, the Energy Efficient range captures & contains the fumes for longer thus treating the fumes more effectively. Like the Classic range it also has removable grease filters for an easier clean, however with our ‘Flame Guard’ or ‘Mist’ variants it can also treat solid fuel cooking.

LED downlights are used all our exhaust hoods (excluding dishwasher ‘Steam Hoods’). The lights are spaced at approximately 1m apart & have 5 brightness options. Alternatively large fluorescent lights behind toughened glass could be used.

Due to the large volumes of air the hoods displace from your kitchen area, a make up air supply is sometimes required to maintain a comfortable ambient air pressure. This will be advised to you by the estimator during the quoting process. As this air is usually supplied from an external source, if conditioned it will help to cool the cooking area & chefs.

Air Injection is a feature added to the exhaust hood to provide an air curtain at the front of the hood. This helps to contain the fumes to the cooking area as they are being treated & extracted.

A Flame Guarded Hood is a variant of the Energy Efficient Hood that is designed to accommodate solid fuel cooking. Large removable panels protect the grease filters from direct exposure to the cooking fuels minimising the risk of the extracted grease igniting. The Flame Guard option is something that must be worked into the initial design of the exhaust hood, it is not something that can be added to existing Energy Efficient Hoods.

Cavaliers Mist range hood is predominantly used with the introduction of solid fuel type cooking (charcoal/timber). In front of the filters, we have a flame guard panel which is easily removable for maintenance and helps increase the distance between the cooking surface and any grease arresting devices (open flame = 1350mm). Behind this we have a configuration of stainless steel piping that douses the embers with a fine mist before entering our final stage of treatment, the stainless steel baffle filters.
The fine mist extinguishers live and hot embers, whilst also reducing the air temps to increase the longevity of your mechanical equipment (Electrostatic precipitators fans, etc)
The water feed is connected through a solenoid which is interlocked with your kitchen exhaust fan (when fan turns on, the mist automatically turns on).

A Low Back Hood is, as its name suggests, an exhaust hood where the back sits lower than its front. This is a variant of all our other hood types and is predominantly used in very low ceiling situations. The front is set to an Australian Standard height of between 2000-2100mm above the floor whereas the back is lowered to maintain a larger capture area, correct angles & filter size.

Cavalier’s Dual Bank Hood is regularly used in island type layouts in order to achieve compliant overhangs. Open layouts where no full height walls are implemented require an increase in airflow and overhangs. By adding the extra internal filter bank, this helps introduce more filters to still achieve the correct velocity and angles.
