Superior Commercial Kitchen Hoods

Superior Restaurant Kitchen Hoods

Superior Hoods manufactures NSF-certified stainless steel ventilation systems for commercial kitchens and concession operations. The Atlanta, Georgia-based company provides durable hoods that meet NFPA 96 standards and ETL safety requirements. Superior’s expertise covers custom fabrication, HVAC integration, and CAD-assisted design for professional installations. The product lineup includes Type I Hoods with ETL, Type I Hoods without ETL, and Type II Hoods.

Superior TYPE I Hoods with ETL

Superior Type I ETL-listed hoods meet the strictest North American safety and sanitation standards. Each model features 100% stainless steel construction, integrated grease filters, and optional built-in lighting. These hoods efficiently remove heat, grease, and smoke from high-temperature cooking environments while maintaining compliance with UL, ANSI, and NFPA regulations. Standard lengths range from 4 ft (1.219 m) to 16 ft (4.876 m).

Superior Hoods BSSM-ETL (BOX MAKE-UP AIR): The BSSM-ETL is a rectangular box-style hood with an integrated make-up air system that channels fresh air directly through perforated metal vents at the front. This design improves energy efficiency by balancing kitchen airflow while trapping grease and smoke.
Superior Hoods VSE-ETL (LOW PROFILE EXHAUST): The VSE-ETL is a low-profile exhaust-only hood engineered for light to heavy cooking. It is ideal for wall-mount applications, promoting adequate air circulation in kitchens with limited ceiling height. These hoods use aluminum filters to efficiently remove heat and odors.

Superior TYPE I Hoods NO ETL

Superior’s non-ETL Type I hoods deliver the same stainless steel build quality and high performance at a more economical cost. Each hood meets NSF certification requirements and complies with NFPA 96 standards. Models include both exhaust-only and make-up air configurations designed for restaurants, concession spaces, and kitchens with restricted ceiling heights. They are available in sizes from 4 ft (1.219 m) to 16 ft (4.876 m).

Superior Hoods VVSD: Value Stainless Steel Hood w/Make-up Air: The VVSD Value Hood includes an integrated make-up air system and a lowered front profile from 16 in (40.64 cm) to 4 in (10.16 cm) to accommodate low ceilings. It supplies up to 100% of exhausted air directly into the hood for maximum efficiency.
Superior Hoods VSE: Value Stainless Steel Hood Exhaust Only: The VSE exhaust-only hood handles light to heavy cooking applications, removing heat and moisture through a duct collar system. It includes built-in lights, 16-in (40.64 cm) filters, an internal grease cup, and a 3-in (7.62 cm) rear standoff.
Superior Hoods CSS30: Concession Hood: The CSS30 model is a compact stainless steel hood designed for food trucks and concession trailers. Its low front edge of 4 in (10.16 cm) maximizes headroom in confined spaces. It provides strong grease capture, with 20-in (50.8 cm) filters and a 24-in (60.96 cm) back height.
Superior Hoods BSSM: Box Hood w/Make-up Air: The BSSM box-style hood integrates a perforated front make-up air system that channels outdoor air into the exhaust stream. It efficiently controls smoke and grease while maintaining a balanced air environment. The hood includes an installed light and a loose fire damper.
Superior Hoods BSSE: Box Hood Exhaust Only: The BSSE exhaust-only box hood provides reliable grease and smoke extraction for medium to heavy cooking. It replaces hood filters with a duct collar for direct air discharge, improving simplicity and cost efficiency. Each model includes lighting and a fire damper.

Superior TYPE II Hoods

Superior Type II hoods are suitable for non-grease-producing appliances. These units remove heat, steam, and moisture from equipment such as dishwashers, steamers, and ovens. Their stainless steel design prevents corrosion and ensures longevity in humid environments. The lineup includes heat hoods and condensate hoods, both available in standard lengths of 4 ft (1.219 m) to 16 ft (4.876 m).

Superior Heat Hoods extract hot air and steam from equipment that generates moisture without grease. Slanted condensation plates collect vapor and channel it away to maintain temperature control. The all-stainless-steel build ensures long-term durability and compliance with commercial ventilation standards.
Superior Condensate Hoods capture and remove steam via a full-perimeter gutter and drain system. Slanted internal plates condense and redirect moisture, reducing heat buildup and humidity in the workspace. They improve air comfort and hygiene in dishwashing or steaming areas.
