Walk-In Fume Cupboards
Walk-In Fume Cupboards
Walk-in fume cupboards offer a robust, high-capacity solution for commercial laboratories and research facilities that require safe handling of large-scale experiments, equipment, or chemical processes.
These full-height units are ideal for industrial laboratories, universities, pharmaceutical settings, and specialist environments where larger apparatus or mobile trolleys need to be housed within the enclosure.
Innova’s walk-in fume cupboards are fixed in place and designed for maximum containment and safety, providing complete extraction of harmful fumes via custom ductwork and remote fan units.

They feature a highly durable internal lining and construction materials engineered for long-term chemical resistance and structural integrity.
Why choose walk-in fume cupboards?
Walk-in fume cupboards provide ample internal working space, allowing operators to perform procedures that involve large equipment or multiple containment units. The spacious interior and full-height access make them particularly suitable for activities that go beyond the limitations of standard benchtop units.
These cupboards are purpose-built to provide enhanced safety, superior containment, and a flexible working environment for advanced or large-scale experimental setups.
Common applications
Common applications include handling large drum containers or pilot-scale reactors, working with tall apparatus or distillation columns, mobile cart operations requiring enclosed transfer, high-volume solvent handling, as well as use in research and development labs and pharmaceutical production environments.
Key Features include:
- Full-height, walk-in access for ease of operation with large equipment
- 100% fume extraction to atmosphere via remote fan and duct system
- Vertically sliding or horizontal double sash doors
- Internal lighting with sealed luminaires for safe visibility
- Customisable service options, including gas, water and electrical outlets
- Robust air control/fire trace system with airflow monitoring and alarm
- Available with optional bunded floors for spill containment
- Constructed to BS EN 14175 standards for fume cupboard performance
Customisable walk-in fume cupboard
Our walk-in fume cupboards are highly customisable, with numerous optional features available beyond the standard design. Worktops can be finished in Trespa laminate, 316-grade stainless steel, solid cast epoxy resin, PVC, polypropylene or ceramic, with polyester coatings offered in various colours and finishes.
We offer mechanical, electrical and data services, including remote-monitoring alarms and optional fire suppression. Sinks and drip cups in epoxy or Vulcathene come in various sizes, while fume scrubbers and cosmetic infill panels can also be added.
For sites where external extraction is impractical, we offer recirculating walk-in fume cupboard units.
Energy efficient variants
Walk-in designs are available as Constant Air Volume (CAV) or Variable Air Volume (VAV) units. Our energy-efficient system reduces extracted air volume, lowering the need for replacement conditioned air.
