Why it matters
Three realities that shape ventilation on the Plateau
Commercial density, old buildings and residential neighbours: the constraints are local and concrete.
Dense restaurants on three arteries
Avenue du Mont-Royal, Boulevard Saint-Laurent and Rue Saint-Denis concentrate restaurants, cafés and bars. Most occupy the ground floor of century-old buildings never designed for commercial cooking: the system has to be thought through for the existing structure.
Old mixed-use buildings
Apartments above the businesses, limited roof access and structures to reinforce. Rooftop units, duct routing and noise all have to be planned so as not to disturb residents.
Sensitivity to odours
Grease-laden vapours and cooking odours are a recurring source of neighbour complaints. A well-sized hood, a compliant duct and a balanced air supply reduce the nuisance at the source.
The system
What we install in Plateau Mont-Royal
From a Mont-Royal restaurant’s kitchen exhaust to a Saint-Denis shop’s rooftop unit.
✓ Type I kitchen hoods and NFPA 96-compliant duct
✓ Rooftop units (RTUs) for shops, cafés and offices
✓ Make-up air (MAU) systems to balance exhaust
✓ Commercial ventilation ductwork suited to older buildings
✓ Curb adapters to replace a unit on an existing roof

01
Assessment
Site visit, survey of existing equipment, roof access and building constraints. We confirm what’s there before proposing anything.
02

Sizing, duct routing and equipment selection, then a detailed quote: scope of work, equipment, schedule.

Installation
Roof work, duct and unit installation, electrical and gas coordination. Scheduled around your operating hours.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What businesses in the neighbourhood ask us
Can you install a hood and exhaust system in a restaurant on Avenue du Mont-Royal?
Yes, regularly. Most of these restaurants occupy the ground floor of old buildings: we design the duct route to the roof within the structural constraints and per the code in force, with the make-up air needed.
How do you work in a building with apartments above?
We coordinate the schedule, work outside opening hours and isolate noise and vibration. Duct routing and unit placement are planned from the start to avoid residential areas.
My neighbours complain about cooking odours. What can be done?
A correctly sized Type I hood, a grease-rated duct and a balanced air supply reduce vapours and odours at the source. We assess the existing system and propose the most practical correction.
Can you help if my restaurant failed a ventilation inspection?
Yes. We start by reviewing the violations, assess the system in place and recommend the most direct path to compliance. Depending on the issues, that may be a targeted change or a system replacement.
What’s the typical lead time for a project?
A simple rooftop unit replacement is often completed in one to two days. A kitchen exhaust system or a multi-unit project depends on the building constraints and permits; a detailed schedule accompanies the quote.
Do you also work with cafés, boutiques and offices on the Plateau?
Yes. For ground-floor shops and offices, it’s mostly rooftop unit replacement and general ventilation rather than kitchen exhaust. We serve the whole Plateau, including the Mile End border.
