Which Fume Cupboard Do You Need?
Start with what you're working on. If your application doesn't fit neatly into a box, that's normal. Most of our fume cupboards are built to order, and we'll help you specify the right one. Some labs call them fume cabinets or fume hoods: it's the same equipment, and we build all of it.

When you buy from Fume Cupboards Direct, you deal with the people who design, build, install and test your fume cupboard. That means one point of contact, no finger-pointing between suppliers, and a fume cupboard that's proven to perform in your lab, not just on a data sheet.
Design
We survey your lab and design the fume cupboard and extraction system around your processes, space and building.
Manufacture
Every unit is built in our own North Yorkshire workshop, so there's no middleman and dimensions can be made to measure.
Install & Commission
Our own engineers install, commission and test to BS EN 14175 before handover.
Test & Service
Ongoing LEV inspection, testing and servicing keeps you compliant with COSHH and your cupboards performing safely.
