A Cherry Wood Hood Shell Built for the Arched Raised Panel Look

This Omega National Signature Arched Raised Panel range hood is a 42-inch wide decorative wood shell in cherry, designed to wall-mount above the cooktop and integrate with surrounding cabinetry in the classic raised-panel style. A Broan-compatible liner is included.

Key Features

• Cherry wood construction in the Signature Arched Raised Panel series for a traditional, furniture-grade appearance.
• 42 inches wide to cover a standard 36-inch or matching-width cooktop run with visual presence.
• Arched raised panel design carries the door style of a traditional raised-panel kitchen across the hood.
• Broan-compatible liner included so the shell arrives ready to accept a compatible Broan ventilation unit.
• Ready-to-finish surface accepts stain or paint so the cherry can be matched to the surrounding cabinetry.
• Wall-mount position at 24-7/8 inches tall and 19 inches deep for a proportioned, built-in profile.

Where This Hood Shell Fits the Design

Raised-panel kitchens depend on consistent door profiles across every surface, and the hood is one of the hardest elements to match. This shell carries the arched raised-panel door style directly into the hood body, so it reads as cabinetry rather than an appliance dropped into the space. At 42 inches wide, it suits a kitchen where the hood run is sized to command the wall above the range, whether that is above a 36-inch range or as part of a wider statement piece flanked by cabinets on either side.

The wall-mount configuration keeps the installation straightforward for a custom kitchen build-out. The hood anchors to the wall above the cooking surface, leaving the surrounding cabinet space intact for upper cabinets on either side.

Cherry Wood and Ready-to-Finish Preparation

Cherry is the species choice when the kitchen calls for a warm, fine-grained hardwood with natural depth. This shell is supplied ready-to-finish, meaning the cherry arrives unfinished and prepared to accept stain or paint. That approach lets the finisher match the hood precisely to the existing cabinet finish rather than working around a factory color that may not align. Cherry stains and finishes predictably, and its natural grain character shows through clear or tinted finishes with consistent results.

The included Broan-compatible liner is the metal housing that accepts the ventilation unit inside the shell. The liner bridges the decorative wood enclosure and the mechanical insert, and its inclusion means one fewer sourcing step for the installer.

Who Specifies This Shell

Cabinet shops building traditional or transitional raised-panel kitchens in cherry reach for this shell when the design calls for a hood that disappears into the cabinetry as a matched element rather than standing apart. Designers specifying a coordinated look across door style, species, and finish will find the arched profile and ready-to-finish surface give them the control they need. For a homeowner doing a full kitchen renovation in a raised-panel style, this shell delivers the custom-built look without requiring a custom millwork fabrication from scratch.

Because this is the decorative wood enclosure, it does not move air on its own. The ventilation insert that provides airflow is selected separately and installs into the included liner.
