An Alder Wood Hood Shell Ready to Match Your Cabinetry

This Omega National Signature Arched Raised Panel range hood is a decorative wood shell in alder, designed to wall-mount above the cooktop and tie into the surrounding cabinetry for a finished, custom look. A Broan-compatible liner is included.

Key Features

• Alder wood construction delivers a tight, consistent grain that accepts stain or paint cleanly.
• Signature Arched Raised Panel style adds traditional raised-panel detailing with an arched valance for visual depth.
• 42 inches wide to suit a standard 36-inch or 42-inch cooking surface run.
• Ready-to-finish so the hood can be stained or painted to coordinate with the cabinet finish after installation.
• Broan-compatible liner included to accept a compatible Broan ventilation unit, sold separately.
• Wall-mount position for installation directly against the wall above the range.

Where This Hood Works Best

Alder is a popular species for painted and stained cabinet finishes because its grain is fine and relatively uniform, making it one of the easier hardwoods to finish smoothly. In a kitchen that uses alder cabinetry or a paint-grade finish program, this shell lets the hood read as part of the run rather than a separate appliance. The arched raised-panel valance adds a traditional furniture detail that suits transitional and classic kitchen styles, pairing naturally with beaded-inset or full-overlay door profiles with similar raised-panel centers.

Construction and Finish Preparation

The shell ships unfinished, which means the finishing step happens on-site after the hood is set in place. That sequence lets the finisher blend the hood into the surrounding cabinets as part of a single finishing pass rather than trying to match a factory finish after the fact. Alder's density and workability make it cooperative under both brush and spray application. At 42 inches wide, 24-7/8 inches tall, and 19 inches deep, the shell proportions are designed for a standard wall-hood installation above a residential range.

Who Specifies This Hood

Cabinet shops and designers building an alder kitchen often specify this shell as the natural close to a run that would otherwise end in a visible gap above the range. Because it arrives unfinished, the finisher controls the color rather than accepting a factory match. Homeowners doing a custom renovation who want a raised-panel hood that disappears into the cabinetry get the same benefit: the hood is finished alongside everything else, so the result is seamless. The included liner removes one sourcing step by bundling the Broan-compatible component with the decorative shell.
