VMI Maple Decorative Curved Wall Range Hood Use
VMI 36 inch maple decorative curved wall mount range hood defines a wall-mounted wood hood built from maple in the Decorative Curved Series. The unfinished maple construction lets installers match custom stains or paints to surrounding cabinetry for a consistent kitchen look. As part of Fujioh's premium line of wood range hoods, this model is positioned for projects that specify that product family. The 36 inch width designation aligns with common cooktop and cabinet layouts, helping layout planning where a 36 inch hood footprint is required. Being a wood range hood in the Kitchen & Bath Cabinet Accessories and Wood Range Hoods classes identifies it as a cabinet-integrated solution rather than a standalone metal appliance. The wall mount design directs use above a cooking surface along a wall, fitting standard kitchen ventilation layouts.
Key Decorative Curve Hood Details That Matter
- This VMI wood range hood is part of Fujioh's premium line of wood range hoods, so it pairs with specified Fujioh ventilation components in projects that call out that system.
- All hoods are made of unfinished wood, allowing finishing shops to sand, stain, or paint to match custom or factory cabinetry tones on site.
- The maple construction on this model matches maple cabinet programs, which streamlines color-matching and finishing workflows for installers and finishers.
- Decorative Curve hoods are available in three widths - 38-1/2 inches, 44-1/2 inches, and 50-1/2 inches - giving designers multiple size choices within the same curved profile family.
- All of the hoods are designed to work with specified Fujioh ventilators, so ventilation airflow choices follow a defined set of CFM-rated blower units.
- This model is identified as FDWHDC 36 M, providing a precise part reference when ordering or coordinating with drawings and cut lists.
Ventilator And Liner Setup For This Wood Hood
All of the hoods are designed to work with the following ventilators: 260 CFM (FFBUF-04 Series), 350 CFM (FFBUF-02A Series), 350 CFM (FFBUF-021 Series), and 670 CFM (FFBUF-06 Series). This defined ventilator list lets specifiers choose airflow performance within the Fujioh platform while keeping the hood interface consistent. All liners will only work with Fujioh ventilators, so the metal or stainless steel liner is selected from the Fujioh family rather than from other systems. Liners for FFBUF-04, 02A, and 021 Series ventilators are available in five finishes: White, Black, Biscuit, Silver Metallic, and Stainless Steel, which supports visual coordination where the liner interior may be visible. Liners for FFBUF-06 Series ventilators are available in Stainless Steel finish only, matching higher-airflow installations that call for that blower.
Using This Fujioh Wood Range Hood In Projects
Where This Maple Decorative Curve Hood Fits
This VMI 36 inch maple decorative curved wall mount range hood sits in the Wood Range Hoods and Kitchen & Bath Cabinet Accessories categories, placing it in cabinet-integrated kitchen projects. The maple material aligns with maple cabinet runs where a wood hood is specified instead of a metal canopy, simplifying design coordination between casework and ventilation. As part of Fujioh's premium line of wood range hoods, it is chosen when that brand family is already specified for ventilators. The Decorative Curve designation indicates a curved profile, so it is used where a shaped hood style is desired rather than a straight-line mantel. With a wall mount orientation, it serves kitchens where the cooktop is located against a wall rather than on an island.
Why Ventilator And Liner Details Support Workflow
All of the hoods are designed to work with 260 CFM FFBUF-04 Series ventilators, which gives an option for lower airflow installations tied specifically to that Fujioh blower series. The 350 CFM FFBUF-02A and 350 CFM FFBUF-021 Series ventilators offer mid-range airflow levels on the same hood platform, keeping the hood opening and liner approach consistent while changing performance. The 670 CFM FFBUF-06 Series ventilators provide higher airflow capability for heavier cooking conditions where that CFM rating is desired. Liners for FFBUF-04, 02A, and 021 Series ventilators are available in White, Black, Biscuit, Silver Metallic, and Stainless Steel, so the visible interior surface can match or contrast with appliance finishes. Liners for FFBUF-06 Series ventilators are available in Stainless Steel finish only, pairing the highest airflow choice with a stainless interior. Liners are made of metal, except Stainless Steel finish which is made of Stainless Steel, so the liner surface provides a hard, cleanable interior to the wood hood shell.
