A Toronto café’s retrofit with custom stainless perforated panels improved oven airflow, reduced cleaning frequency, and extended heating element life.
Custom Perforated Panels for Kitchen Appliance Retrofits: Boosting Efficiency and Extending Lifespan
In 2024, a small café in Toronto faced an unexpected problem — their aging countertop convection ovens were overheating during peak hours, slowing service. After reading about Maria Gonzalez’s retrofit success (Read Maria’s case here), the café owner decided to install custom stainless steel perforated panels to improve appliance airflow and hygiene.
Benefits of Perforated Panels in Kitchen Retrofits
Unlike standard solid metal covers, perforated panels:
Promote Steady Airflow: Reduce hot spots for consistent cooking results.
Control Grease Buildup: Fine perforations trap airborne grease particles.
Withstand Harsh Conditions: Stainless steel resists heat, moisture, and frequent cleaning.

Case Study: Toronto Café’s Retrofit Results
Before the upgrade, ovens needed internal cleaning twice daily. After installing perforated airflow panels, cleaning frequency dropped by 50%, and the ovens preheated 20% faster. The improved airflow also extended heating element life by an estimated 18 months.
