VMI 30"W Maple Plain Valance Wall Mount Range Hood, Liner Sold Separately - FVAL 30 M

30-Inch Maple Hood Shell for a Custom Kitchen Finish

This VMI plain valance wall mount range hood is a decorative maple wood shell designed to frame the space above the cooktop and deliver a clean, cabinet-matched look. It ships unfinished so it can be stained or painted to suit the kitchen, and it accepts a compatible liner and ventilation insert, each selected separately.

Key Features

• Solid maple construction in a plain valance style that pairs naturally with maple cabinet runs.
• 30 inches wide and 24 inches tall with an 8-1/8-inch depth for a defined, proportioned profile over the range.
• Ready-to-finish surface accepts stain or paint after delivery so the hood can be matched to the surrounding cabinetry.
• Wall mount position installs against the wall above the cooktop.
• Liner and ventilation insert sold separately, giving flexibility to pair the shell with the appropriate mechanical unit for the installation.

The Right Shell for a Clean, Unfussy Hood Line

The plain valance style keeps the front face simple: a straight lower edge with no arch or decorative carving, which suits kitchens where the cabinetry is the focus and the hood reads as part of the run rather than a statement piece. At 30 inches wide, it fits a standard 30-inch range or cooktop and integrates with base and upper cabinet lines without overpowering the wall. The profile is deep enough to enclose a compatible liner and ventilation unit while staying proportionate to a standard kitchen layout.

Maple, Unfinished, and Ready for the Shop

Maple takes stain and paint evenly, which makes it a practical choice when the installer or finisher is matching an existing kitchen. Because this shell ships unfinished, the species and grain are preserved for whatever finishing system the job calls for, whether that is a clear topcoat to show the wood, a stain to match adjacent doors, or a painted finish. The plain face also means there are no carved details to work around during finishing.

Where This Shell Works Best

This shell suits a kitchen remodel or new build where the cabinetry is maple and the hood needs to blend in rather than stand apart. Cabinet shops fitting out a full maple kitchen can finish the hood alongside the door and drawer fronts for a consistent result. Designers specifying a clean, linear hood profile without decorative carving will find the plain valance style straightforward to detail. Because the liner and ventilation insert are chosen separately, the ventilation system can be sized to the cooktop independently of the decorative shell.
