Laboratory renovation or construction projects can throw many 
challenges. Thousands of variables affect design considerations, 
construction materials, and MEP & HVAC planning. Environmental & safety 
clearances, project management, testing & commissioning demands 
careful orchestration. 
Kewaunee turnkey services are a one-stop solution for all your 
laboratory construction projects. We have successfully delivered 25+ 
million square feet of lab space in over 100+ countries across all industry 
segments. Our services range from advisory to full-fledged managed 
operations, tailored to suit all budgets and needs. Your space, our 
expertise, and a combined vision is all that is required, to turn your dreams 
into reality.
In a lab environment, it is mandatory to have lab safety equipment to protect 
the specimen and lab personnel. To protect the lab workers from toxic fumes 
lab fume hood is installed in labs that deal with chemical and toxic research 
and similar applications. To keep toxic fumes out of the lab's working area 
and to protect the worker and specimen from these fumes, laboratory fume 
hoods are installed unfailingly. The lab fume hood is a partially enclosed 
workspace that is ventilated to do the job of exhausting fumes outside of the 
lab area. Even though it takes up a small space in a laboratory it has a large 
usable interior working depth to allow sufficient space to do experiments.
The fume hood has tempered safety glass positioned at the back, and sides and a 
tall viewing window which gives superior visibility for demonstrating chemical 
experiments. These hoods allow the employees to observe how students or 
workers experiment. The lab fume hood unit has a hood and a sash that can be 
raised for easy loading and cleaning and opened or closed to make the most of 
access to airflow. You can even close it for minimizing the air flow. 
For the analysis of trace metals and corrosive substances, especially well-designed 
laboratory fume hoods that resist corrosion are recommended for installation. 
Usually, the efficiency of the fume hood is measured by the speed of the air flow 
that crosses between the work surface and the sash. Speed is measured in feet by 
the minute and the greater the velocity of the hood face, the faster toxins and 
vapors it can flush out of the lab. 
Mostly lab fume hood works to prevent exposure to vapors and toxins and thus 
there are different hoods designed to work in different velocities for different 
chemical and technological applications. 
The ductless lab fume hood is ventilated enclosure that has a fan, which draws 
air out and through filters and ultimately re-circulates it into the laboratory. 
The filters in the lab fume hoods are designed to trap vapors generated in the 
chemical hood and exhaust clean air back into the laboratory.
Kewaunee turnkey laboratory services are a one-stop solution for all your 
laboratory design and construction projects. Whether your project is a 
brand-new research centre or remodels of an existing lab, Kewaunee has 
an experienced team available to make your vision come to life. At every
