novaguard fume hoods

high performance
maximized visibility

Designed to deliver competitive containment performance and energy efficiency, the NovaGuard™ operates with exhaust volumes significantly lower than conventional hoods and has higher sight lines as well. By creating side alcoves, and moving plumbing fixtures there, the interior space is increased within the same footprint.
