De Kobra wall mounted stainless steel extract
Aston University chose Weatherite to upgrade the kitchen in its Student Guild, including the installation of a De Kobra stainless steel extract in a basement area.
When Aston University needed to upgrade the kitchen in its Student Guild, they chose WBS, not least because the kitchen is located in a basement and they needed an effective extraction system they could trust.
Graham Faulks at Aston University explains, ’We already had a good working relationship with WBS so we were confident that they could not only design and supply a specification that was reliable and effective, but just as importantly, meet the tight installation deadlines required to ensure that the work was completed in the short period between students breaking up at the end of their first term and the start of a new term’.
WBS contract included:
- De Kobra wall mounted stainless steel extract only canopy
- Matching valance
- Extract ductwork
- Variable speed fan control
- Removal of the old system
- Plus all necessary electrical and building works
