VMI 48 inch cherry range hood describes a wall mount decorative wood range hood built in cherry for kitchen installations that need a 48 inch wide wood hood focal point. The hood is part of VMI's premium line of wood range hoods, so it aligns with projects that call for a wood solution instead of metal. This model is a Decorative Series wall mount range hood, which means the outer body is shaped for visible installation above a cooktop or range. The hood is made of unfinished wood, allowing shop finishing to match surrounding cabinetry and trim. The manufacturer part number FDWH 48 C identifies this as the cherry version within the Decorative Series sizing group. The hood is classified as a wood range hood in the Kitchen & Bath Cabinet Accessories category, so it fits directly into cabinet and millwork layouts around the cooking zone.
All of the hoods in this VMI line are designed to work with specific ventilators rated at 260 CFM, 350 CFM, and 670 CFM, so installers can match this cherry wall mount range hood to the correct FFBUF-04, FFBUF-02A, FFBUF-021, or FFBUF-06 Series ventilator. The hood is engineered so that all liners will only work with VMI ventilators, which ties the decorative shell, liner, and ventilator into one coordinated system. Liners are required components and are sold separately, so the installation sequence uses this hood body together with a properly chosen metal or stainless steel liner. This coordinated engineering supports predictable fit between the decorative wood hood, the liner, and the selected VMI ventilator during installation.
The hood is categorized as a wood range hood in the Kitchen & Bath Cabinet Accessories group, so it is intended for kitchen installations where the hood must visually align with cabinetry. Being made of unfinished cherry allows the outer shell to be finished to match cherry cabinets or contrasting finishes in custom work. Decorative hoods in the series are available in four widths, which lets designers coordinate this 48 inch wall mount version with other hood widths in open-plan or multi-station kitchens that share a common style. All hoods in the line are designed for use with particular VMI ventilators, so this cherry model fits projects that already specify FFBUF-04, FFBUF-02A, FFBUF-021, or FFBUF-06 ventilators as part of the ventilation strategy. Because liners are required components in this system, the hood functions as the visible architectural element around the liner and ventilator assembly.
All of the hoods are designed to work with 260 CFM, 350 CFM, or 670 CFM VMI ventilators, so planners can select a ventilator capacity from the FFBUF-04, FFBUF-02A, FFBUF-021, or FFBUF-06 Series that aligns with the cooking station while staying within the engineered system. All liners will only work with VMI ventilators, which simplifies coordination because the liner, ventilator, and this cherry hood body are designed as one matched group. Liners for FFBUF-04, 02A, and 021 Series ventilators are available in White, Black, Biscuit, Silver Metallic, and Stainless Steel finishes, giving options for the interior appearance under the hood while the outer cherry shell ties into the cabinetry. Liners for FFBUF-06 Series ventilators are available in Stainless Steel finish only, which aligns this higher-capacity ventilator with a single interior finish while still using the same decorative cherry exterior. Liners are made of metal, except the Stainless Steel finish, which is made of stainless steel, so the working interior surface under this wood hood is metal-based in all cases, supporting typical kitchen ventilation environments while the cherry exterior provides the desired wood appearance.
The FDWH 48 C cherry hood is a VMI Decorative Series wall mount wood range hood made of unfinished cherry, used as the visible kitchen hood shell.
The VMI 48 inch cherry range hood is identified as a wall mount range hood, so it is intended for installations on a wall above the cooking surface.

The VMI cherry wall mount range hood uses liners as required components, and those liners are sold separately for use with VMI ventilators.
Within this system, liners for FFBUF-04, 02A, and 021 ventilators are available in White, Black, Biscuit, Silver Metallic, and Stainless Steel, while FFBUF-06 liners are Stainless Steel only.

The unfinished cherry construction supports on-site finishing to match cabinetry, and the engineered fit with FFBUF ventilators and VMI liners creates a coordinated ventilation assembly ready for integration into cabinet and millwork layouts.
