Positioning canopies
The size of the canopy installed in a kitchen will be specified by the equipment
which is being situated below it. The standard DW/172 states that
“Unless
restricted by walls, the plan dimensions of the canopy will always exceed the
plan dimensions of the catering equipment by a minimum of 250mm on each free
side and by 250mm front and rear.”
