VMI 36"W Cherry Arched Raised Panel Wall Mount Range Hood, Liner Sold Separately - FDWHAP 36 C

Cherry Wood Range Hood Shell for a Custom Kitchen Look

This VMI arched raised panel range hood is a decorative wood shell in cherry, built for wall-mount installation above a cooktop. It is supplied ready-to-finish so it can be stained or painted to coordinate with the surrounding cabinetry. The liner is sold separately.

Key Features

• Cherry wood construction provides a tight, consistent grain that takes stain well and matches cherry cabinet lines.
• Arched raised panel design delivers a traditional, furniture-grade profile over the range.
• 36-inch width suits standard 36-inch cooktop installations and range configurations.
• Ready-to-finish surface accepts stain or paint to match the kitchen finish exactly.
• Wall-mount position designed for installation against the wall above the cooking surface.
• Liner not included and sold separately, allowing selection of the compatible ventilation insert independently.

Traditional Character Over the Cooktop

The arched raised panel profile is a natural fit for kitchens built around inset or raised-panel door styles. The arch at the valance and the raised panel face give the hood the visual weight of a furniture piece rather than an appliance, so it anchors the cooking wall in a way that flat or contemporary hoods do not. Cherry's warm, reddish-brown tone and fine grain make it one of the most widely specified species for traditional and transitional kitchen designs, and it develops character as it ages.

A Shell That Finishes to Match

Because this hood arrives ready-to-finish, the stain or paint color is chosen on site rather than at the factory. That means the hood surface can be matched to the cabinet finish in the same batch, under the same lighting conditions, with the same application technique. For a cherry kitchen, this typically means matching the door stain directly. For a painted kitchen, the shell accepts paint just as readily. At 40-1/2 inches tall and 20-3/4 inches deep, the shell provides a substantial visual presence that fills the space above a standard range without requiring a custom build-out.

Who This Shell Is For

Cabinet shops finishing a traditional or transitional cherry kitchen will find this shell a straightforward way to carry the species and door style into the hood. Designers specifying a custom-built cooking wall can use the ready-to-finish surface to tie the hood to the paint or stain color they are already running through the project. Because the liner is sourced separately, the ventilation unit can be selected based on the cooktop's airflow requirement without being constrained by a bundled insert. This shell works on any project where the hood is meant to read as cabinetry, not as a standalone appliance.
