Flame Gard flat duct access doors offer a cost effective and dependable solution for adding access to inspect and clean your commercial kitchen ventilation duct system. If you don’t already have access ports installed, or the ones you have are flimsy and unsafe, it’s time to make a change.
So why is it so crucial to have safe and reliable access to grease ducts? It is important to be able to reach all areas of the ducts to ensure they are completely clean. If there is no way to inspect and access the interior of your ventilation system, then there is no way to make sure it’s clean.
One of the most important parts of a commercial kitchen ventilation system is the upblast exhaust fan. It’s a hard working piece of equipment that must be functioning properly at all times.

Some of the most common complaints about hood filters are related to rattling, cleaning, and repair issues found with riveted style filters. Riveted construction is very common and certainly doesn’t prevent a filter from doing its job. They are a little cheaper and UL Listed models can meet all NFPA fire code standards. However, all things being equal, a welded product is always a superior option to riveted from the standpoint of durability and maintenance.
Hood filters may not be exciting, but they are a necessity for every commercial kitchen. There is a lot you need to know in order to choose the right filters, keep them properly maintained, and comply with local fire codes. Using the wrong ones, or not taking care of them correctly, can be costly…and dangerous.
Unfortunately, information on hood filters is pretty scarce and fragmented. That’s why we get requests everyday for a “cheat sheet” or buyers guide that eliminates all the guesswork. It’s been at the top of our list for quite a while, but we took plenty of time to make sure ALL the questions were answered and every base was covered. Now, we’re excited to finally release this complete hood filter reference guide – The Hood Filter Handbook.
