A Cherry Wood Hood Shell Built for a Straight-Line Kitchen

This Omega National Signature Straight range hood is a decorative cherry wood shell designed to mount against the wall above a cooktop, bringing a clean, traditional profile to the space above the range. It ships with a Broan-compatible liner included so the ventilation side of the installation has a clear starting point.

Key Features

• Cherry wood construction brings warm, fine-grained character that accepts stain or paint to match surrounding cabinetry.
• Signature Straight profile delivers a clean, unadorned silhouette suited to transitional and traditional kitchen designs.
• 30 inches wide to coordinate with standard range widths and typical cabinet runs.
• Broan-compatible liner included so the shell arrives ready to accept a compatible Broan ventilation unit.
• Ready-to-finish surface allows staining or painting after installation to achieve the exact finish the kitchen calls for.
• Wall-mount design at 22-7/8 inches tall and 19 inches deep for a proportioned look over a standard cooktop.

Where This Hood Fits in the Kitchen

The Signature Straight profile works best where the design calls for a hood that reads as part of the cabinetry rather than a featured focal point. Its straight lines carry across naturally into a run of raised-panel or shaker-style doors, and the 30-inch width aligns with the most common residential range size. Because the shell ships unfinished, it can be stained to match cherry cabinets or painted to contrast with a painted surround, giving the finisher control over the final result. A designer specifying a coordinated wood kitchen or a cabinet shop building a custom hood surround will find the clean geometry easy to work with.

Cherry Wood and the Ready-to-Finish Advantage

Cherry is a close-grained hardwood with a warm reddish-brown tone that deepens with age and finishing. That natural character makes it one of the more rewarding species to stain, since the grain takes color evenly and the figure shows through. Supplied unfinished, this shell reaches the job site in a state that allows the finishing crew to apply the same stain, glaze, or topcoat used on the rest of the cabinetry, so the hood blends rather than standing apart. The included Broan-compatible liner is the metal housing that accepts the ventilation unit inside the wood shell, protecting the wood and providing the mounting surface for the insert.

Who This Shell Is For

This product is the decorative enclosure, not the ventilation equipment. It suits kitchen projects where the hood needs to match a cherry or cherry-stain cabinet package and where the design calls for a straight, wall-mount profile rather than an arched valance or a mantel-style build. Cabinet shops finishing in cherry, designers coordinating a traditional or transitional kitchen, and homeowners replacing an existing hood with one that integrates better with wood cabinetry are the most natural buyers. The Broan ventilation unit that moves the air is selected separately based on the cooktop and the ductwork; the liner that comes with this shell gives that selection a compatible housing to land in.
