VMI 48"W Cherry Decorative Curved Series Wall Mount Range Hood, Liner Sold Separately - FDWHDC 48 C

Cherry Wood and a Curved Profile, Liner Selected Separately

This VMI Decorative Curved Series wall mount range hood shell is a 48-inch wide decorative enclosure in cherry wood, designed to bring a warm, furniture-grade look above the cooktop. The liner is sold separately, allowing the ventilation unit to be matched to the specific installation.

Key Features

• Cherry wood species gives the hood its warm, fine-grained character that coordinates with cherry cabinetry or accepts a custom finish.
• Decorative Curved Series profile adds a softer, arched silhouette that suits transitional and traditional kitchen designs.
• 48 inches wide with a 42-inch height and 20-1/2-inch depth for a substantial presence over a wide cooktop run.
• Wall mount configuration positions the hood against the wall above the range rather than in an island or peninsula installation.
• Not prefinished, so the shell can be stained or painted to blend with the surrounding cabinetry.
• Liner sold separately, so the ventilation insert can be chosen to suit the cooktop output and ducting requirements.

Where the Curved Profile Earns Its Place

A straight-sided hood works in a modern kitchen, but a curved profile carries weight in a space that leans traditional or transitional. The Decorative Curved Series draws its silhouette from classic furniture forms, and in cherry, the natural warmth of the wood reinforces that character. At 48 inches wide, this shell commands the wall above a 36- to 48-inch range or cooktop and reads as a focal point rather than a utility box. Cabinet shops designing a custom kitchen, designers specifying for a client who wants the hood to look like built-in cabinetry, and contractors fitting out a higher-end remodel will find the species and profile combination does the visual work that a painted metal hood cannot.

Cherry, Unfinished, and Ready for the Shop

Cherry is one of the more rewarding species to finish: it takes stain evenly, deepens over time with light exposure, and has a fine, consistent grain that suits both clear topcoats and toned finishes. Because this shell arrives unfinished, the finishing step happens in the shop or on site, which means the hood color can be dialed in to match the door style and stain already specified for the rest of the kitchen. At 20-1/2 inches deep and 42 inches tall, the shell has the proportions to hold its own on a wall with full-height upper cabinets flanking it.

Pairing the Shell With the Right Liner and Ventilator

This shell is the decorative enclosure. It does not move air and does not include a blower, filter, or light. A liner and a compatible ventilation insert are selected separately to complete the installation. Choosing the liner and ventilator at the same time as the shell keeps the fit between the three components confirmed before anything goes on the wall. The wall mount position means the installation runs against a wall surface, with ductwork routed through the wall or the cabinet above depending on the kitchen layout.
