Omega National Wood Hood Shell for Alder-Matched Kitchens

This Omega National Signature Arched Raised Panel range hood is a 36-inch decorative wood shell in alder, wall-mounted and supplied with a Broan-compatible liner so the decorative enclosure and the ventilation hardware install together as one coordinated unit.

Key Features

• Alder wood construction with a raised panel arched design suited to traditional and transitional kitchen styles.
• 36-inch width spans a standard range position and works with a 36-inch Broan ventilation insert.
• Broan-compatible liner included so the shell ships ready to accept the separately ordered ventilation unit.
• Ready-to-finish surface accepts stain or paint so it can be matched to the surrounding cabinetry.
• Wall-mount position designed for installation against the wall above the cooking surface.
• Signature Arched Raised Panel series with an arched valance and raised panel detail for a furniture-grade look.

The Woodwork Above the Range

Alder is a close-grained hardwood that takes stain evenly and finishes smoothly, making it a practical choice when the goal is a hood that disappears into the surrounding cabinetry rather than reading as a separate appliance. The raised panel arched design adds depth and shadow lines that suit kitchens with frame-and-panel door styles, shaker details, or other traditional millwork. Because the shell arrives unfinished, the stain or paint color is applied on-site so it can be matched precisely to the cabinets already in the space.

Shell, Liner, and Ventilator: How the System Works

This product is the decorative wood enclosure. It does not include a blower, fan, or ventilation hardware, and it has no CFM rating of its own. What it does include is the Broan-compatible liner, which is the metal inner housing that the ventilation insert seats into. The ventilation unit itself is selected separately based on the cooktop output and ducting requirements of the installation. With the liner already in the box, the two main components of the hood system arrive together, and the ventilator is the one remaining piece to specify.

Who Reaches for This Shell

Cabinet shops finishing an alder kitchen will find this shell the most direct path to a species-matched hood without custom millwork. Designers specifying a traditional or transitional kitchen can use the arched raised panel detail to carry a door style through to the hood without sourcing a custom piece. Contractors installing a complete kitchen package benefit from the included liner, which removes one coordination step from the ventilation rough-in. At 36 inches wide and 24-7/8 inches tall, the shell fits a standard range position and a ceiling height that accommodates the hood body without requiring a chimney extension in most installations, though the specific rough-in dimensions should be confirmed against the installation drawings.

Common Questions

A Finished Alder Hood, Matched to the Kitchen

Specify this shell when the kitchen is built in alder and the hood needs to finish as part of the cabinetry rather than stand apart from it. The included liner closes the gap between ordering the woodwork and installing the ventilator.
