Laboratory Canopy Hood
Ventilation systems specifically designed for laboratory environments — open-faced enclosures suspended from the ceiling or wall-mounted, engineered to remove heat, steam, odours, and non-toxic fumes generated by large equipment.
Heat Removal
Vents heat from ovens, autoclaves, and heat baths effectively.
Steam Exhaust
Removes steam produced during laboratory procedures safely.
Odour Control
Safely vents noxious or unpleasant odours out of the lab.
Flexible Mounting
Wall-mounted or ceiling-suspended for installation flexibility.
What a Canopy Hood Removes from Your Laboratory
Unlike fume hoods that fully enclose the workspace, canopy hoods are open-faced and designed for specific ventilation applications:
Heat
Canopy hoods are ideal for venting heat generated by large equipment like ovens, autoclaves, and heat baths — maintaining comfortable and safe lab temperatures.
Steam
They effectively remove steam produced during various laboratory procedures, preventing condensation build-up and maintaining visibility and comfort.
Odours
Noxious or unpleasant odours can be safely vented out of the laboratory with a canopy hood, protecting researchers and maintaining a professional working environment.
Non-Toxic Fumes
Canopy hoods can handle low vapour density fumes that are not hazardous, providing an economical and practical ventilation solution for mild chemical applications.
Three Ways Canopy Hoods Protect Your Laboratory
Protects the Environment
By venting out fumes and heat, canopy hoods prevent them from contaminating the lab environment and affecting other experiments or personnel working in adjacent areas.
Protects Products
They safeguard sensitive experiments or products from exposure to heat, steam, or odours — critical where cross-contamination or thermal interference could compromise results.
Protects People
Canopy hoods help maintain good air quality by removing non-toxic fumes and keeping them away from researchers, supporting compliance with occupational health and safety standards.
Two Construction Variants — Choose the Right Material
Metrolabs supplies canopy hoods in two material specifications to match your laboratory environment and chemical exposure requirements:
Galvanised Iron (GI) Canopy Hood
Galvanised Iron sheet with powder-coated finish. Canopy hoods designed to collect and exhaust corrosive vapours, heat, steam, and odours when mounted over areas with water baths, hot plates, or portable equipment.
Material
Galvanised Iron (GI) sheet, powder coated
Standard Colour
Lab White — standard laboratory finish
Applications
Water baths, hot plates, portable equipment
Mounting
Wall-mounted or ceiling-suspended
🌿 Designed to collect and exhaust corrosive vapours, heat, steam, and odours — ideal for general laboratory ventilation where stainless steel is not required.
Stainless Steel (SS 304) Canopy Hood
Constructed of type 304 stainless steel — designed to exhaust heat and steam when mounted over water baths, hot plates, or portable equipment. Superior corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning make this the premium choice for demanding laboratory environments.
Material
Type 304 stainless steel construction
Finish
Brushed SS — hygienic and easy to clean
Applications
Water baths, hot plates, portable equipment
Mounting
Wall-mounted or ceiling-suspended
✨ Type 304 stainless steel provides superior durability, corrosion resistance, and the ability to withstand aggressive cleaning agents — the premium choice for pharmaceutical and food laboratories.

Important: Canopy Hoods Are Not Suitable for Hazardous Chemicals
Canopy hoods are not suitable for handling hazardous, toxic, or carcinogenic materials. For work with toxic or carcinogenic substances, a fume hood with a sash enclosure is required to ensure user safety. Canopy hoods are designed exclusively for heat, steam, odours, and low vapour density non-toxic fumes.
