VMI 36"W Cherry Decorative Curved Series Wall Mount Range Hood, Liner Sold Separately - FDWHDC 36 C

VMI Decorative Curved Hood Shell For Cherry Kitchen Cabinetry

This VMI Decorative Curved Series range hood is a 36-inch-wide cherry wood shell designed to frame the cooktop area with a gracefully curved profile. It is the decorative enclosure, not the ventilation unit: a liner and ventilation insert are sourced separately to complete the installation.

Key Features

• Cherry wood species brings warm, fine-grained character that finishes beautifully with stain or paint.
• Curved decorative profile distinguishes this shell from straight-valance and mantel-style hoods for a softer, more traditional silhouette.
• 36 inches wide, 42 inches tall, and 20-1/2 inches deep for a substantial wall-mount presence over a standard 36-inch range or cooktop.
• Ready-to-finish construction so the shell can be stained or painted to coordinate precisely with surrounding cabinetry.
• Wall-mount position installs against the wall above the cooking surface.
• Liner sold separately, allowing the ventilation setup to be matched to the cooktop and kitchen configuration.

The Curve That Sets This Hood Apart

Most decorative wood hoods use a straight valance across the bottom face. The Decorative Curved Series takes a different approach: the lower profile follows a curved line that softens the transition from hood to wall and suits kitchens with arched cabinet details, raised-panel doors, or a traditionally influenced design. At 42 inches tall and 20-1/2 inches deep, the shell reads as a substantial architectural element above the range, not just a cover for the equipment inside. Because it is a wood shell, it contributes the visual presence while the separately sourced liner and ventilator handle airflow.

Cherry Wood, Ready to Finish

Cherry is chosen when the kitchen calls for a warm, reddish-brown tone with smooth, consistent grain that deepens with exposure to light over time. This shell arrives unfinished, which is the right starting point for matching an existing finish schedule: stain colors, topcoat sheens, and glazing techniques can all be applied in the field to bring the hood into alignment with surrounding cherry cabinets or to contrast intentionally with a painted perimeter. Because the species and finish prep are set at the factory, the fabrication work has already been done; the finishing decision stays with the installer or shop.

Where This Shell Fits Best

This hood suits a kitchen renovation or new build where a 36-inch range or cooktop is centered on a wall run and the design calls for a traditional or transitional style. Cabinet shops finishing a cherry kitchen will find the species match straightforward. Designers specifying a kitchen where the hood needs to read as part of the cabinetry rather than as a separate appliance will appreciate the curved valance line and the unfinished starting state. Because the liner is not included, the ventilation can be sized and specified to the actual cooktop output and duct path rather than being constrained by a bundled unit.

A Cherry Shell That Earns Its Place in the Design
