Did you know that approximately 60 lbs of cooking grease and air-borne particles build up into the fabric of your curtains, rugs and furnishing every year?
Without an adequate vent hood for your restaurant, this will result in major consequences for your business. Indoor pollution, not just only kitchen area, coupled with inadequate ventilation was a probable cause of increase in respiratory problems (Mayo Clinic). This means that without the use of vent hoods, your chefs, employees, and even your customers may be affected by the exposure of the smoke and harmful vapors from cooking large amounts of food.
One of the most essential part of the vent hood is the Exhaust Fan.
Why are they so excellent?
- The fundamental purpose of the exhaust fan is to extract smoke, stream, and odor in the air. It pulls the old air out of the kitchen and allows it escape through the vents that are connected to the roof. This creates a more comfortable cooking environment for workers and a pleasant dining experience for patrons.
- Residue from smoke, grease and smells often stick to walls, ceilings, and furniture. They may be tough to clean and get rid of. Exhaust fans remove the greasy pollutants so you are able save time and energy of getting rid of residue.
- During the summer, the kitchen area can get warmer than usual and this could make a very uncomfortable working atmosphere. Exhaust fans decreases the heat by providing proper ventilation in the kitchen and with the use of return air fans, fresh air is brought back into the building. This could prevent health issues and at the same time, increase the quality of good air flow throughout the building.
- Since exhaust fans maintain cool air in the kitchen area, they reduce and suppress the incidence of kitchen fires.This prevention is most important, especially for your employees. It also plays a huge factor in keeping your establishment safe and clean and may even reduce insurance costs.
