This Omega National Modern Straight wall hood is a decorative hickory wood shell that mounts above the cooktop and frames the ventilation space with the character and pronounced grain of natural hickory. It ships ready-to-finish so the stain or paint can be matched to the surrounding cabinetry, and it includes a Broan-compatible liner to seat a ventilation unit once selected.
The Modern Straight shell suits kitchens where the hood is meant to be noticed. Hickory is one of the most visually active domestic hardwoods: the grain contrast and natural figuring read clearly at range scale, so this shell holds its own in a kitchen with shaker or slab-front cabinets, open shelving, or other design moves that put natural wood at the center. The clean straight profile avoids the carved detailing of traditional hood styles, which makes it a workable pairing for both contemporary and transitional spaces. Because it arrives unfinished, the stain or topcoat can be dialed in to match the cabinet species and finish exactly, whether that is a light natural oil, a dark walnut tone, or a painted finish that lets the texture show through.
The shell is solid hickory construction in a straight profile, unsanded and unfinished at the point of delivery. Ready-to-finish means the surface is prepared to receive a finishing system but requires sanding, staining, and topcoating before installation. For shops finishing in-house, that means the hood can move through the same finishing line as the cabinet doors. For homeowners or contractors sourcing a custom finish, the unfinished surface gives a finishing professional or painter a clean starting point. The Broan-compatible liner is included and fits inside the shell to receive the ventilator.
This shell is the decorative enclosure. It does not include a blower, filter, or lighting, and it does not move air on its own. The ventilation insert is selected separately based on the cooktop's BTU output, the duct configuration, and the kitchen's airflow requirements, then mounts into the included Broan-compatible liner. For cabinet shops and designers, this means the hood and the ventilator are specified and ordered as two separate line items. For contractors, it means the finishing sequence and the ventilator rough-in are coordinated before the shell goes up. The 37-1/2-inch width and 42-inch height suit a 36-inch cooktop position on a standard wall-mount installation.
No. This is the decorative wood shell with the Broan-compatible liner included. The ventilation unit that moves the air is ordered separately based on your cooktop and duct setup.
Hickory is a dense, open-pored hardwood that can benefit from a grain filler or sealer coat before staining, particularly if a very smooth or uniform finish is the goal. The pronounced grain takes stain with good contrast, which some designers prefer and others balance with a tinted sealer. A finishing professional familiar with hardwoods can advise on the best approach for the specific color target.
The liner is described as Broan-compatible. Confirm the specific Broan ventilator model and CFM requirement against your cooktop's BTU rating and duct configuration when specifying the insert.
Yes. Ready-to-finish means the surface can receive paint, stain, or another approved finishing system. Hickory's grain will show through thinner paint films; a build-up primer or pigmented topcoat applied in multiple coats will minimize grain texture for a flatter painted look.
For kitchens that want bold natural grain in a modern straight profile, this Omega National shell provides the wood presence and the flexibility to finish it exactly to the room, paired with the ventilator that suits the cooktop.
