VMI 36"W Red Oak Arched Raised Panel Wall Mount Range Hood, Liner Sold Separately - FDWHAP 36 RO

Red Oak Grain and an Arched Panel, Ready for Your Finish

This VMI decorative wood range hood shell brings a classic arched raised-panel profile to the wall above the cooktop in red oak, supplied unfinished so it can be stained or painted to coordinate with the surrounding cabinetry. At 36 inches wide, it is sized for standard residential ranges and mounts to the wall. The liner and ventilation unit are selected separately to suit the install.

Key Features

• Red oak construction with a natural grain character that takes stain well for a matched-cabinetry look.
• Arched raised-panel design adds traditional depth and shadow lines to the hood face.
• 36-inch width sized for standard residential range installations.
• Ready-to-finish so stain, paint, or another approved finish can be applied on-site after delivery.
• Wall-mount position designed to mount against the wall above the cooking surface.
• Liner sold separately, letting the installer match the liner and ventilator to the specific ventilation requirement.

Where the Arched Panel Works

The arched raised-panel profile suits traditional, transitional, and craftsman kitchens where the hood is expected to carry the same decorative weight as the surrounding cabinetry. Red oak's open grain structure reads well under stain, which makes this shell a natural fit when the kitchen is already built in red oak or a stained wood that reads in the same family. The 36-inch width drops over a standard 30- or 36-inch range and anchors the wall run without overwhelming adjacent upper cabinets.

Wood, Finish State, and Construction

Red oak is a durable, widely available hardwood with a pronounced grain pattern that responds predictably to a range of stains. Because this shell ships ready-to-finish, a finisher can match it precisely to the cabinet doors in the kitchen rather than settling for a pre-applied color that drifts from the rest of the case goods. The arched raised-panel face is a milled wood detail, not applied veneer, so the shadow lines hold their shape over time. Overall dimensions are 36 inches wide, 40-1/2 inches tall, and 20-3/4 inches deep, giving the hood enough vertical presence to read as a substantial architectural element.

Who Specifies This Shell

Cabinet shops building a traditional kitchen in red oak use this shell to carry the door profile and species through to the hood, so the wall reads as one coordinated run of millwork. Designers specifying a transitional kitchen will match the stain to the perimeter cabinets and pair the arched valance with inset or raised-panel doors on the uppers. Contractors working from a designer's spec appreciate that the shell arrives ready for the finish crew, keeping the sequencing clean. Because the liner is sold separately, the ventilation unit can be sized independently to the cooktop's output and the home's ducting configuration.
