This Omega National chimney is the upper wood extension that bridges a 42-inch wide wall hood body to the ceiling, completing the finished look of the hood installation in rift white oak.
A wall hood installation typically has two wood components above the cooktop: the hood body that houses or surrounds the ventilator, and the chimney that runs from the top of the hood body up to the ceiling line. This piece is the chimney. It fills the vertical gap between the hood body and the ceiling, giving the installation a continuous, built-in appearance rather than leaving an open chase. Without it, the hood body reads as a box floating below the ceiling; with it, the full column of woodwork reads as one element from countertop height to the ceiling.
Because this is a decorative wood component, it does not house a blower, move air, or carry any ventilation function. The ventilation unit sits inside the hood body below, and the chimney wraps around the ductwork running above it.
Rift white oak is cut at an angle to the growth rings to produce a tight, vertical grain with minimal ray fleck, which reads as a clean, linear surface in most lighting. That character makes it a natural fit for modern and transitional kitchen designs where the cabinetry tends toward flat panels and restrained grain patterns. The chimney ships unfinished so the finisher can apply stain, paint, or a clear coat after installation to match the hood body and surrounding cabinets. Because rift white oak accepts stain well and holds a consistent color across the face, matching it to adjacent rift-cut cabinetry is straightforward when the same finishing system is used.
This chimney is most useful in two situations. The first is a new kitchen build or remodel where a 42-inch Omega National wall hood is part of the design and the ceiling height requires a chimney to close the gap above the hood body. The second is a replacement or completion order where the hood body is already installed but the chimney was not ordered at the same time. Cabinet shops building custom hood surrounds, designers specifying an Omega National hood package, and contractors completing a kitchen install are all typical buyers. Because the chimney is sized and profiled to match the 42-inch Modern series hood body, it is not a universal fit across all hood widths or styles.
No. This is a decorative wood chimney extension. The ventilation unit that moves air is a separate component installed inside the hood body below, and it is selected and ordered independently.
It ships unfinished and ready to accept stain, paint, or a clear topcoat. Finishing after installation allows the chimney to be matched to the hood body and surrounding cabinetry.
This chimney is sized for the 42-inch wide Modern series wall hood. For other widths, the matching chimney in that width should be selected to ensure the profile and taper align with the hood body.
No. Rift white oak is a different species and a different cut from red oak. The rift cut produces a straighter, more uniform grain with less ray fleck, and white oak has a different tonal character than red oak. If the surrounding cabinets are a different species or cut, confirm the visual match before ordering.
Specify this chimney when the installation calls for a 42-inch Omega National Modern wall hood and the design requires the woodwork to run continuously from the hood body to the ceiling in rift white oak.
