Floor-Mounted Fume Hoods
Full-Height Access, Flexible Configuration, and Safe Containment for Large Equipment
Floor-mounted fume hoods are designed for laboratories that work with oversized equipment, tall assemblies, or processes requiring direct floor-level access. At BICASA North America, our floor-mounted hoods combine generous interior volume with stable containment, giving researchers the flexibility they need without compromising safety or airflow performance.
Engineered for Large Equipment and Roll-In Processes
Our floor-mounted hoods provide unobstructed access from the base to the upper sash, making them ideal for:
To support safe loading and operation, our design includes:
This dual-access configuration allows equipment to be positioned easily while maintaining proper containment during active use.
Advanced Construction for Performance and Serviceability
Our floor-mounted hoods are built with powder-coated aluminum wall panels, chosen for their durability, corrosion resistance, and cleanability. These walls incorporate:
This approach ensures the hood remains serviceable and flexible throughout its lifecycle — a major advantage for evolving research environments.
Smart Options for Safety and Efficiency
To support modern laboratory operations, our floor-mounted hoods can be equipped with:
These options allow the hood to be tailored precisely to the application and the equipment it must house.
Stable Containment and Energy-Efficient Airflow
Every floor-mounted hood is engineered around real-world airflow behavior, ensuring:
The result is a hood that performs predictably, reduces energy waste, and supports long-term operational safety.
Manufactured in North Carolina. Supported Nationwide.
All BICASA North America fume hoods — including our floor-mounted models — are manufactured in Charlotte, NC, giving project teams:
For projects requiring union labor, we work with highly trained union installers in the New York area who are fully familiar with our systems.
Custom Sizes and Configurations
Floor-mounted hoods often need to be tailored to the equipment they serve. We offer:
If your project requires a non-standard size or a unique configuration, our engineering team can design a hood that fits seamlessly into the space and workflow.
Support for Planners, Architects, and Builders
We provide comprehensive support throughout the project lifecycle:
Floor-mounted fume hoods are a critical investment in safety and capability. We ensure they’re designed, built, and installed with the precision your project deserves.
Engineered for Large Equipment and Roll-In Processes
Our floor-mounted hoods provide unobstructed access from the base to the upper sash, making them ideal for:
- Tall distillation columns
- Large reactors and pilot-scale vessels
- Mobile carts and roll-in equipment
- Bulk chemical storage or waste collection systems
- Any application requiring full-height clearance
To support safe loading and operation, our design includes:
- Bi-fold lower doors that open fully for easy roll-in access
- A traditional upper sash for controlled, safe working conditions
- Clear sightlines and ergonomic reach for users at all heights
This dual-access configuration allows equipment to be positioned easily while maintaining proper containment during active use.
Advanced Construction for Performance and Serviceability
Our floor-mounted hoods are built with powder-coated aluminum wall panels, chosen for their durability, corrosion resistance, and cleanability. These walls incorporate:
- Easy-access service panels for fast maintenance
- Reconfigurable utility zones that support future changes in gas, vacuum, electrical, or data requirements
- A modular internal structure that simplifies upgrades and long-term adaptability
This approach ensures the hood remains serviceable and flexible throughout its lifecycle — a major advantage for evolving research environments.
Smart Options for Safety and Efficiency
To support modern laboratory operations, our floor-mounted hoods can be equipped with:
- An occupancy sensor that automatically adjusts the upper sash for energy savings and safety
- FR-grade laboratory HPL liners as standard
- Alternative liner materials (including custom-designed sizes) to accommodate specialized equipment or process needs
These options allow the hood to be tailored precisely to the application and the equipment it must house.
Stable Containment and Energy-Efficient Airflow
Every floor-mounted hood is engineered around real-world airflow behavior, ensuring:
- Consistent face velocity even with large equipment inside
- Low-turbulence airflow patterns that protect users at every height
- Compatibility with VAV and high-efficiency exhaust systems
- Reliable containment under dynamic conditions
The result is a hood that performs predictably, reduces energy waste, and supports long-term operational safety.
