VMI 42"W Cherry Decorative Series Wall Mount Range Hood, Liner Sold Separately - FDWH 42 C

VMI Decorative Range Hood For Cherry Wood Kitchens

This VMI Decorative Series wall mount range hood is a 42-inch wide cherry wood shell that frames the cooking area and integrates with the surrounding cabinetry. The liner is sold separately, and a compatible ventilation unit is chosen to suit the cooktop and ducting requirements.

Key Features

• Cherry wood construction provides a warm, fine-grained surface ready to accept stain or finish to match the kitchen.
• 42 inches wide by 42-1/2 inches tall with a 20-1/2-inch depth for substantial presence above the range.
• Wall mount position designed to install directly against the wall above the cooktop.
• Liner sold separately so the ventilation and liner components can be selected to fit the installation.
• Unfinished shell allows staining or painting on site to coordinate with the cabinetry finish.

The Decorative Shell, Built in Cherry

Cherry's naturally smooth grain and warm reddish-brown tone make it a strong choice in a kitchen where the cabinetry is cherry or where a warm wood tone anchors the design. This shell is the visible enclosure above the range: it defines the hood's shape and scale and provides the wood surface that ties the hood to the cabinets around it. Because it arrives unfinished, a finisher can stain or paint it on site, matching the exact color and sheen of the surrounding cabinetwork rather than settling for a factory finish that may not align.

Shell, Liner, and Ventilator: Three Separate Pieces

A complete hood installation in this style involves the decorative wood shell, a liner that fits inside it, and a ventilation unit that moves the air. This SKU is the shell only. The liner ships separately and is matched to the shell dimensions and the ventilator being specified. Selecting the liner and the ventilation unit together ensures the blower seats correctly inside the shell and that duct sizing, CFM, and noise levels are matched to the cooktop and the kitchen layout. For a cooktop-specific ventilator recommendation, work from the BTU rating of the range and the ductwork available.

Where This Hood Works Best

This shell is a natural fit for a kitchen where cherry cabinetry is already on the wall or where a warm, traditional wood tone is part of the design direction. At 42 inches wide, it suits a 36-inch range or cooktop with visual breathing room on either side, and the 42-1/2-inch height gives the hood the vertical presence it needs to read as a focal point rather than an afterthought. Custom finishers working on a high-end renovation will find the unfinished cherry surface straightforward to work with. Kitchen designers specifying a coordinated cabinetry suite can treat this shell as a cabinetry element that happens to house a ventilator.
