VMI Hickory Arched Raised Panel Hood For Kitchens

VMI hickory arched raised panel hood is a 36 inch wide wall mount wood range hood built from unfinished hickory, giving a solid hardwood base that can be finished to match surrounding cabinetry on site. This hood is part of VMI's premium line of wood range hoods, so it fits into projects where a wood focal point is planned over the cooktop. The arched raised panel front adds a shaped face that helps the hood read like a furniture piece in a run of wall cabinets. As a wall mount range hood, it is sized for standard 36 inch cooktop and range layouts, which simplifies layout in typical kitchen designs. The hood is designed to work specifically with VMI ventilators and matching liners, tying the wood shell and the mechanical components into a single coordinated system.

Key VMI Wood Range Hood Details That Matter

• The hood is made of unfinished hickory, allowing field finishing so the installer can stain or paint to align with existing or new cabinets in the same room.
• As part of VMI's premium line of wood range hoods, this model matches other VMI wood hoods, which helps maintain a consistent look when multiple hood sizes are used across a project.
• Arched raised panel styling gives a shaped front face, providing a more detailed appearance when the hood is centered between wall cabinets or over a range.
• The hood width is 36 inches, so it fits common 36 inch range layouts, reducing layout conflicts in standard residential kitchen designs.
• The hood is classified as a wall mount range hood, so it is intended to be mounted against a wall rather than in an island location, guiding how surrounding cabinets and ducting are planned.

Wall Mount Hood And Liner Integration Details

This VMI wood range hood is designed to be wall mounted and to work with a metal liner, so the wood shell and liner can be coordinated as a single assembly. The hood is designed to work with ventilators rated at 260 CFM in the FFBUF-04 Series, 350 CFM in the FFBUF-02A Series, 350 CFM in the FFBUF-021 Series, and 670 CFM in the FFBUF-06 Series, which defines the ventilator options that physically match the hood and liner system. All liners are designed to work only with VMI ventilators, so the fan and liner combination stays within the same product family. Liners for FFBUF-04, 02A, and 021 Series ventilators are available in white, black, biscuit, silver metallic, and stainless steel finishes, giving multiple appearance choices for the exposed underside. Liners for FFBUF-06 Series ventilators are available in stainless steel finish only, coordinating a higher CFM ventilator with a metal interior that reads as stainless from below. All liners are made of metal, except the stainless steel finish, which is made of stainless steel, so the cooktop area has a durable metal interior surface under the hood.

Using This 36 Inch Hickory Range Hood In Projects

Where This VMI Wood Range Hood Fits Best

This VMI 36 inch hickory arched raised panel hood fits projects where a wall mount wood range hood is planned over a standard 36 inch cooking surface. Being part of VMI's premium line of wood range hoods, it works in kitchens that use coordinated VMI hoods in multiple sizes, such as combining this 36 inch model with other widths from the same arched raised panel series. The unfinished hickory construction supports kitchens that are built around natural wood tones or custom stain colors, because the hood surface can be finished on site to match other hickory or wood cabinets. Arched raised panel styling suits layouts where the hood is a focal point between wall cabinets, since the shaped panel draws attention to the cooking area. The hood belongs to the wood range hoods category, placing it in applications where a wood exterior is preferred rather than metal.

Details That Support Consistent Venting And Finish

The hood is designed to work with VMI ventilators in FFBUF-04, 02A, 021, and 06 Series, which simplifies pairing the wood shell with a ventilator that matches the liner system. All liners will only work with VMI ventilators, so the fan, liner, and hood components stay within a single manufacturer when the system is assembled. Arched raised panel hoods are available in four widths - 32-1/2 inches, 38-1/2 inches, 44-1/2 inches, and 50-1/2 inches - allowing layouts that use this 36 inch wall mount hood alongside other VMI arched raised panel hoods of different widths in the same design language. VMI's line of wood range hoods uses four wood species - red oak, maple, hickory, and cherry - and this model is the hickory version, which fits projects that call for that specific species across doors, frames, and trim. Liners for FFBUF-04, 02A, and 021 Series ventilators have finish choices of white, black, biscuit, silver metallic, and stainless steel, which lets the visible liner surface coordinate with appliance colors or with other metals in the kitchen. For FFBUF-06 Series ventilators, the liner finish is stainless steel only, giving a defined stainless appearance beneath the hood when a higher 670 CFM ventilator is selected for the installation.
