Omega National Wood Hood Shell For Wide Kitchen Runs

This Omega National Signature Straight range hood is a decorative alder wood shell sized for wider kitchen layouts, supplied with a Broan-compatible liner and ready to be finished to match the surrounding cabinetry.

Key Features

• 48-inch width suits wider cooktop runs and larger kitchen walls.
• Clear alder wood construction takes stain, paint, or a natural finish cleanly.
• Signature Straight profile presents a clean, architectural silhouette above the range.
• Broan-compatible liner included so the ventilation insert is ready to seat on installation day.
• Wall-mount design installs against the wall above the cooktop.
• Not prefinished so the finishing system is chosen in the field to match the kitchen.

Built for the Wide Wall Above the Range

A 48-inch hood shell fills a wide visual field, and the Signature Straight profile keeps the lines clean and architectural. The straight silhouette works with both contemporary and transitional kitchen designs without competing with cabinet door styles. Because this is the decorative wood enclosure, it frames the space above the cooktop and coordinates visually with the surrounding cabinetry. The liner that seats the ventilation insert ships with the unit, so the structural piece of the installation is accounted for from the start.

Alder Wood and the Finishing Decision

Clear alder accepts stain evenly and finishes to a smooth, consistent surface, which makes it a practical choice when the goal is a close match to stained maple, cherry, or alder cabinetry nearby. Because this shell arrives unfinished, the finish can be selected after the surrounding cabinets are specified, or after a sample is pulled to confirm the stain match. The wood is not prefinished, so there is no factory coat to strip or work around.

Where This Shell Fits Best

This product suits a kitchen where the hood needs to read as a built-in architectural feature rather than a standalone appliance. It is a strong fit for cabinet shops building out a wide kitchen wall, designers specifying a custom-look hood for a 48-inch cooktop run, or homeowners renovating a larger kitchen and wanting the hood to disappear into the cabinetry. The unfinished surface means it works best when a professional finish is applied on site or in the shop before installation, matched to the door and drawer fronts in the room.
