Omega National 48"W Hickory Signature Straight Wall Mount Range Hood, Broan Compatible Liner Included - R2148SMB1HUF1

A 48-Inch Hickory Hood Shell for Wide Cooktop Runs

This Omega National Signature Straight wall mount range hood is a 48-inch decorative hickory wood shell designed to frame wide cooktop installations and integrate cleanly into surrounding cabinetry. A Broan-compatible liner is included so the shell is ready to receive a compatible ventilator.

Key Features

• Hickory wood construction brings natural grain character and warm tonal variation to the kitchen.
• 48-inch width is suited to wide ranges and cooktops where a standard 30- or 36-inch shell would fall short.
• Signature Straight profile delivers a clean, contemporary silhouette that coordinates with transitional and modern cabinetry.
• Broan-compatible liner included so the shell arrives ready to accept a Broan ventilation unit, purchased separately.
• Wall mount design positions the hood against the wall above the cooking surface for a traditional placement.
• Ready-to-finish construction allows stain or paint to be applied on-site to match the surrounding cabinets exactly.

Filling a Wide Cooktop Opening

A 48-inch shell covers the full span above a wider range or professional-style cooktop where narrower hoods leave the sides of the cooking zone unframed. The straight profile keeps the visual weight clean across the wall, avoiding the stepped or tapered look that can crowd a wide run of upper cabinets. At 22-7/8 inches tall and 19 inches deep, the shell fits comfortably within a standard upper-cabinet layout without requiring ceiling modifications in most kitchens.

Hickory Character and On-Site Finishing

Hickory is one of the more visually active domestic species, carrying a mix of light and dark tones with pronounced grain. That character reads well across a wide panel where a subtler species might feel flat, and it suits kitchens where the cabinetry already leans into natural wood variation. Because the shell ships ready-to-finish, the stain or paint is applied after delivery, which means the finish can be matched precisely to the adjacent doors or pulled from the same batch as the surrounding work. The shell is not prefinished, so plan for finishing as part of the installation schedule.

Where This Shell Fits the Project

This hood is the right choice when the cooktop run is wide, the design calls for a straight contemporary profile, and the finish needs to be dialed in on-site rather than chosen from a factory palette. Cabinet shops finishing a full hickory kitchen will find the ready-to-finish shell the most practical path to a matched result. Designers specifying a transitional kitchen with a wider range will find the 48-inch width fills the wall without looking undersized. The shell does not move air on its own: the included liner accepts a Broan ventilator, which is selected separately based on cooktop output and local code requirements.
