Key VMI Wood Range Hood Details For Projects
- The hood is part of VMI's premium line of wood range hoods, which provides a consistent style for designers and installers building coordinated kitchen layouts.
- All hoods in this line are made of unfinished wood, so they can be stained or painted during the finishing stage to match surrounding cabinetry and trim.
- This model uses red oak as the wood species, aligning with common red oak cabinet doors, face frames, and moldings used in many kitchen installations.
- Arched raised panel hoods in this series are offered in four widths - 32-1/2, 38-1/2, 44-1/2, and 50-1/2 inches - supporting layout planning across different cooktop and cabinet spans.
- All of the hoods are designed to work with VMI ventilators in the FFBUF-04, FFBUF-02A, FFBUF-021, and FFBUF-06 series, simplifying selection within a single ventilator family.
Installation Fit With VMI Ventilators And Liners
All of the hoods in this VMI line are designed to work with the following ventilators: 260 CFM FFBUF-04 Series, 350 CFM FFBUF-02A Series, 350 CFM FFBUF-021 Series, and 670 CFM FFBUF-06 Series, so selection of the ventilator can be driven by airflow needs while staying within the same hood design. All liners will only work with VMI ventilators, which keeps the installation centered on a matched hood, liner, and ventilator system. Liners for FFBUF-04, 02A, and 021 Series ventilators are available in five finishes - White, Black, Biscuit, Silver Metallic, and Stainless Steel - allowing the visible metal surface inside the hood opening to coordinate with appliances or design preferences. Liners for FFBUF-06 Series ventilators are available in Stainless Steel finish only, giving a defined choice when using the higher capacity ventilator option.
Red Oak Arched Raised Panel Hood In Kitchen Use
Where This Arched Raised Panel Wood Hood Works
This 42 inch VMI 42 inch wood range hood is categorized as a wall mount range hood, so it is intended to be installed against a wall above a cooking surface in a kitchen or similar setting. Being a wood range hood in the Kitchen & Bath Cabinet Accessories category, it is suited to cabinet-based layouts where the hood visually aligns with wall cabinets on either side. The arched raised panel design is part of a family of hoods offered in 32-1/2, 38-1/2, 44-1/2, and 50-1/2 inch widths, so this 42 inch model fits projects targeting a span around that size while keeping the same panel profile as other widths on the line. The use of red oak in an unfinished state means the hood can be finished on site in the same process as doors and face frames, which helps it blend into traditional red oak kitchens.
Details That Support Consistent Installation Results
The hood is identified by the manufacturer part number FDWHAP 42 RO, which specifies the arched raised panel style, 42 inch width, and red oak construction, helping installers and project managers align site work with specifications and shop drawings. Being part of VMI's premium line of wood range hoods, this model shares design intent and ventilator interfaces with the rest of the line, so mounting a compatible VMI ventilator from the FFBUF-04, FFBUF-02A, FFBUF-021, or FFBUF-06 series follows a defined pattern. All liners only work with VMI ventilators, which establishes a controlled interface between liner and ventilator for the installer. Liners are made of metal, except the Stainless Steel finish which is made of Stainless Steel, providing a durable interior surface above the cooktop that can be matched to the visual requirements of the project using the available finish options.
