This Omega National Modern Tapered wall hood is a 36-inch decorative wood shell built in rift white oak, designed to bring a straight, consistent grain pattern to the wall above the cooktop. It is the enclosure, not the ventilator: the hood shell frames the space, the included Broan-compatible liner seats a ventilation unit, and the blower is selected separately to suit the cooktop.
The modern tapered profile suits kitchens that pair clean geometry with natural wood texture: flat-front cabinetry, slab doors, and hardware with a linear or minimal presence. The taper draws the eye upward without adding visual weight at the ceiling, which works especially well in rooms with standard ceiling heights where a boxy hood would feel heavy. Because rift white oak reads differently under different light conditions, it also holds its own in kitchens that lean on natural light to bring out wood character rather than relying on heavy contrast finishes.
Rift-sawn white oak is cut at an angle to the growth rings, producing the medullary ray pattern that runs as tight, nearly parallel lines along the face. This makes it dimensionally stable and visually consistent across a wide panel, which is why it reads well on a large surface like a range hood. The shell ships unfinished, giving the finishing trade the flexibility to match an existing stained oak kitchen, apply a clear coat to let the natural tone come through, or take it in a painted direction entirely. Rift white oak accepts stain evenly, so custom color matching to surrounding cabinetry is straightforward for an experienced finisher.
This shell is the right call when the design specifies a wood hood that integrates with the cabinetry rather than standing apart as an appliance. Designers specifying rift white oak kitchens will find the grain character consistent and matchable. Cabinet shops finishing on-site can treat this hood the same way they treat the cabinet doors: same product, same applicator, same sheen. Custom installers need to confirm wall backing and ventilation routing before the shell goes up, and the ventilation insert should be selected and on hand before installation begins since the liner is built for Broan compatibility.
No. This is the decorative wood shell with the Broan-compatible liner included. The ventilation insert that moves air is a separate purchase and should be selected to match your cooktop and duct configuration.
Rift-sawn white oak is cut to produce tight, straight grain lines with minimal ray fleck, giving the face a more uniform, linear appearance than flat-sawn oak. It is a popular choice in contemporary and Scandinavian-influenced kitchens.
Yes. The shell ships unfinished and can be painted, stained, or sealed. If the goal is a painted finish, the tight grain of rift white oak takes paint well and does not require a heavy grain filler that coarser-grain species might need.
The liner is Broan-compatible, but the specific model match depends on the insert dimensions and the duct configuration. Confirm the compatible Broan insert model against the liner dimensions before ordering the ventilation unit.
Specify this shell when rift white oak is already in the design and the hood needs to read as cabinetry rather than an appliance. The tapered form, the consistent grain, and the ready-to-finish surface give the finishing team the control they need to land it exactly where the design calls for.
