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

VMI 48 Inch Cherry Arched Raised Range Hood

VMI 48 inch cherry arched raised panel wall mount range hood provides a wood hood shell sized for a 48 inch installation run, giving cabinet projects a defined focal point over the cooking area. The hood is made of unfinished wood, so shop finishing can match surrounding cabinetry, stains, or paints for a consistent bank of wall cabinets. This model is part of VMI's premium line of wood range hoods, tying directly into a coordinated program for kitchens built around the same ventilator platform. The arched raised panel profile creates a shaped front, which helps visually transition between wall cabinets and the hood while keeping a framed, furniture-style appearance. As a wall mount range hood, it is designed to sit against the wall above the range, supporting a straightforward layout when planning standard upper cabinet depths.

Key Details That Support Hood Layouts

• This VMI wood range hood is identified as FDWHAP 48 C, so installers can match drawings, orders, and ventilator selections to a specific 48 inch cherry model for repeat work.
• The hood is part of VMI's premium line of wood range hoods, which helps align it with other VMI ventilation components when designing a single-system kitchen project.
• The unit is produced in cherry as one of four available species in the line, so shops working primarily in cherry cabinets can keep species continuity at the hood position.
• The hood is supplied unfinished, allowing finishing teams to apply shop-standard stains, paints, or clear coats so color and sheen match the surrounding cabinet run.
• Arched raised panel hoods in this family are available in four widths - 32-1/2 inch, 38-1/2 inch, 44-1/2 inch, and 50-1/2 inch - which supports consistent styling across multiple kitchen sizes.

Wall Mount Hood And Liner Fit Planning

This VMI unfinished cherry wall mount range hood is designed to work with specified VMI ventilators, so hood, liner, and blower can all be planned as a coordinated system. All of the hoods in this line are designed to work with 260 CFM FFBUF-04 Series ventilators, 350 CFM FFBUF-02A Series ventilators, 350 CFM FFBUF-021 Series ventilators, and 670 CFM FFBUF-06 Series ventilators, which ties the wood shell directly to defined airflow options. All liners will only work with VMI ventilators, keeping the installation centered on a matched brand platform. Liners are required components and are sold separately, so layout drawings can show the metal liner as the working surface inside the wood shell.

Using This Cherry Wood Range Hood In Projects

Where This 48 Inch VMI Hood Fits Best

This FDWHAP 48 C hood serves kitchens built around a 48 inch hood run where a wood focal point is preferred over metal. Because it is part of VMI's premium line of wood range hoods, it slots into cabinet jobs already using VMI ventilation components. The unfinished cherry construction lets it sit directly in cherry cabinet layouts, reducing transitions between cabinet faces and the hood face. As a wall mount range hood, it fits over ranges or cooktops installed along a wall, supporting standard upper cabinet planning without changing base cabinet footprints. The arched raised panel front makes the hood read as a furniture-style cabinet element, which works well in designs calling for raised panel doors and traditional cabinet lines. With the hood size aligned to 48 inch planning, drawing elevations stay predictable on larger cooking walls.

Details That Support Consistent Ventilation Results

All of the hoods in this VMI line are designed to work with four specific ventilator series - FFBUF-04 at 260 CFM, FFBUF-02A at 350 CFM, FFBUF-021 at 350 CFM, and FFBUF-06 at 670 CFM - so blower selection can follow a known range of outputs. Because all liners will only work with VMI ventilators, the metal liner and blower remain within one engineering family, simplifying performance expectations across jobs. Liners for FFBUF-04, 02A, and 021 Series ventilators are available in five finishes - White, Black, Biscuit, Silver Metallic, and Stainless Steel - which allows the visible interior metal surface to coordinate with appliance or design colors. Liners for FFBUF-06 Series ventilators are available in Stainless Steel finish only, so higher airflow projects can standardize on stainless for the liner interior. Liners are made of metal, except Stainless Steel finish which is made of Stainless Steel, providing a hard interior surface behind the cooking area inside the wood hood.
