Type I vs Type II Hood Systems: What Every Restaurant Owner Needs to Know
Commercial Hood Systems
A complete breakdown of hood classifications, code requirements, and how to choose the right system for your equipment.
Commercial hood and exhaust systems are governed by NFPA 96, local mechanical codes, and health department requirements. Getting the design, installation, and maintenance schedule right protects your staff, your property, and your operating license.
In our work with restaurant owners and facility managers across Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, and the broader Front Range, questions about type i vs type ii hood systems: what every restaurant owner needs to know come up on nearly every project. Planning ahead — and understanding what inspectors and engineers will look for — saves time and avoids change orders after construction is underway.
