Case Study - King Edward High School, Edgbaston, Birmingham

Airtherm Engineering Limited has completed a supply and installation of multiple kitchen ventilation hoods at a well-known private School in Edgbaston, Birmingham.

The main island canopy is sized at 9.0m x 3.0m, designed with a slope to feature the existing 1950s glass construction style. We have also supplied and install various other wall mounted stainless steel extract hoods connecting onto the existing ductwork arrangement.

We were given just 4 days to remove the existing hoods and install the new stainless steel kitchen canopies, and remarkably this was achieved by shear hard work from our on-site engineers.

Product Range
Our product range extends from simple condense canopies, extract only, island or wall mounted canopies, through to our air injection island systems allowing both input and extract. If required, the input air can be pre-heated for additional internal staff comfort during the cold winter months. All products can be configured to suit each individual application.

Manufacture
All canopies are manufactured from 304 (En 1.4301) or 316 (En 1.4401)  stainless steel where specified and are suitably braced to prevent product distortion. All joints are welded and polished.

Our Canopies are cut, punched and folded into sub sections and factory assembled by means of computer controlled seam welds, and non-visible mechanical fixings. Systems are manufactured to the strict guidelines of DW/172, British Standards and conform to HSE for  commercial kitchen ventilation.

Wall mounted or island canopies can be manufactured to meet almost any dimension but typically 1000mm to 8000mm long. The system ductwork is manufactured and installed to incorporate cleaning and maintenance access doors to fully comply with DW/144  standards.

Health and Safety
All of our canopy systems are manufactured to the strict guidelines of DW/172, British Standards and conform to HSE for kitchen ventilation systems. All canopies and associated components are thoroughly tested to ensure high standards to meet with our clients expectations.

Our lighting units are sealed to industry standards to prevent the ingress of moisture, grease or heat. They meet all necessary hygiene and safety requirements.

Our control panels are designed to meet our clients demands and system features available include gas detection and shut-offs, C0 and C02 detectors and fire suppression systems with a link to the building alarm system.
