Why can't open kitchens have gas supply? What kind of kitchen meets ventilation standards?

2025-01-17

Many young families choose mainstream open kitchens when decorating. But! Do you know why open kitchens are refused access to gas? In this issue, we will take you to explore the truth.


According to relevant national regulations, kitchens using natural gas must be independent and ventilated. If the kitchen has no door or is decorated as an open plan, once a gas leak occurs, the leaked gas will enter the living room and bedroom, posing a significant safety hazard.

Once a gas leak occurs in an open kitchen, due to the lack of effective isolation between the living room and kitchen through doors and windows (i.e. explosion vents), the leaked gas will enter the guest bedroom. If exposed to an open flame, it is highly likely to cause explosion, and its destructive power and impact range are much greater than those with door partitions, increasing the scope of the impact. Incomplete combustion of gas can produce carbon monoxide. Without effective isolation, carbon monoxide is more likely to diffuse into the living room and bedroom, causing poisoning and endangering life.
The following situations belong to open kitchens

1.The newly built community has independent kitchens that are connected to the outdoor dining and living spaces without doors, and can be considered as open kitchens.

2.To define whether it is an open kitchen, the first step is to determine whether there is an independent kitchen room inside, whether a door is installed, and then to judge based on the room type structure and the original residential structure function.

3.The "other non residential rooms" that allow the installation of gas equipment refer to some large-sized residential buildings, villas, etc. that are separately set up for gas equipment, have doors separated from other spaces, have natural ventilation, and can ensure that no one lives in the equipment room. This does not include living rooms, dining rooms, and corridors that cannot guarantee no one lives in general residential buildings.

How to make up for the shortcomings of installing partition doors in open kitchens?

1.Choose to install transparent partition doors, which can ensure effective isolation between the kitchen and the surrounding space, as well as visual spaciousness and brightness of the indoor space.

2.According to the indoor layout, install gas alarms reasonably to increase safety for indoor gas use.

For your gas safety, we kindly remind you not to blindly pursue visual aesthetics during decoration and sow the seeds of hidden dangers. Please be sure to install kitchen partition doors according to the specifications and call a professional gas company to provide ventilation services for you.

CA-349 adopts high-quality gas sensing components, combined with advanced electronic technology and sophisticated processes, and is widely used in large shopping malls, households, hotels, apartments and other places. Once the measured gas concentration reaches the alarm set value, the detector will emit sound and light alarm signals to remind users to take effective measures immediately, thereby avoiding accidents such as fires and explosions. The product is equipped with a new generation of intelligent chips that can accurately detect combustible gases, prevent false alarms and false negatives, and can be connected to gas valves or ventilation fans to automatically cut off gas and deal with danger after an alarm.
