VMI 48 inch maple range hood describes a VMI, Inc. decorative series wall mount wood range hood with a 48 inch width that fits standard 48 inch cooktop runs in a kitchen layout. The hood is made of unfinished maple, so it can be stained or painted on site to match surrounding cabinets or trim, helping installers deliver a consistent look in custom kitchens. As part of VMI's premium line of wood range hoods, this unit is designed for kitchen and bath cabinet applications where a wood hood is preferred over metal. The decorative design suits projects where the hood is expected to function as a visible focal point while still tying into wood cabinetry.
This VMI wood range hood is designed to work with specific VMI ventilators, namely the 260 CFM FFBUF-04 Series, the 350 CFM FFBUF-02A Series, the 350 CFM FFBUF-021 Series, and the 670 CFM FFBUF-06 Series, so installers can align airflow selection to job requirements while staying within the intended system. All liners for this hood work only with VMI ventilators, tying the wood shell, liner, and blower into a single matched assembly that simplifies selection. Liners are required components and are sold separately, which keeps the hood focused as the decorative wood shell while the liner handles the metal capture area.
This VMI wood range hood is categorized under Kitchen & Bath Cabinet Accessories and Wood Range Hoods, so it is suited to kitchen cabinet projects where a built-in hood must visually coordinate with casework. The decorative series design supports installations where a visible wood surround is desired above the cooking surface, letting shops tie the hood into adjacent maple cabinetry. With widths offered in the decorative series at 32-1/2 inch, 38-1/2 inch, 44-1/2 inch, and 50-1/2 inch, the 48 inch nominal size sits within a range of options that help layout planners keep proportional spacing around different range sizes. Because all hoods in this series are made from unfinished wood, finishing teams can handle stain, paint, or clear coats in the same workflow they use for doors and face frames.
All of the VMI wood range hoods are designed to work with VMI ventilators in the FFBUF-04, FFBUF-02A, FFBUF-021, and FFBUF-06 Series, which gives installers a defined set of blowers from 260 CFM up to 670 CFM to match project airflow needs. All liners for this decorative maple hood will only work with VMI ventilators, keeping the air path and mounting relationships consistent across jobs. Liners for FFBUF-04, 02A, and 021 Series ventilators are available in five finishes - White, Black, Biscuit, Silver Metallic, and Stainless Steel - allowing the capture area finish to coordinate with other kitchen metals or appliances while the exterior remains maple. Liners for FFBUF-06 Series ventilators are available in Stainless Steel finish only, which suits higher CFM applications where stainless steel liner construction is expected. All liners are made of metal, except the Stainless Steel finish which is made of stainless steel, providing a durable interior surface behind the decorative wood shell.

With multiple ventilator series and liner finishes available within the VMI ecosystem, this hood supports both visual integration and predictable mechanical fit. For kitchen projects that call for a 48 inch wood wall mount hood tied to VMI ventilation components, this FDWH 48 M model is suited to that role.
