VMI 48"W Maple Arched Raised Panel Wall Mount Range Hood, Liner Sold Separately - FDWHAP 48 M

An Unfinished Maple Hood Shell Built for a Custom Kitchen

This VMI 48-inch Arched Raised Panel range hood is a decorative wood shell in maple, designed to wall-mount above a cooktop and accept a separately ordered liner and ventilation insert for a fully integrated, custom-finished look.

Key Features

• Maple construction with an arched raised-panel design that suits traditional and transitional kitchen styles.
• Ready-to-finish so the shell can be stained or painted to match the surrounding cabinetry after installation.
• 48-inch width sized for wider cooktop runs and larger kitchen layouts.
• Wall-mount position installs against a wall above the range or cooktop.
• Liner sold separately to pair with the ventilation insert of your choice.

Where This Hood Shell Fits In

The arched raised-panel profile works naturally in kitchens that lean traditional, Shaker-adjacent, or transitional in style. At 48 inches wide and 40-1/2 inches tall with a 20-3/4 inch depth, it covers a wider cooktop run and has the vertical presence to fill the wall between the upper cabinets and ceiling properly. Because this is the decorative enclosure and not the ventilation unit, it works in tandem with a liner and ventilator to complete the hood assembly. The liner and ventilation insert are ordered separately to match the installation's airflow requirements and duct configuration.

Maple, Unfinished, and Ready for the Shop

Maple is a close-grained hardwood that takes stain and paint evenly, which makes it a common choice when the goal is a consistent match to painted or stained cabinetry. This shell ships ready-to-finish, meaning it arrives in an unfinished state so the finisher can apply stain, paint, or a topcoat after delivery and installation prep. That step happens in the shop or on site, giving full control over the final color and sheen to match the rest of the kitchen. The arched raised-panel detail adds dimension to the face without requiring additional millwork once the shell is in place.

Who Orders This Shell

Cabinet shops and kitchen designers specify this shell when a client wants a wood hood that reads as part of the cabinetry rather than a separate appliance. Custom finishers appreciate the maple substrate because it holds stain and paint predictably. The 48-inch width suits a 36- to 48-inch cooktop or range, and the wall-mount configuration fits a standard run where the hood backs directly to the wall. Because the liner is not included, the ventilation package can be selected independently to hit a specific CFM target or to fit a particular duct route.
