A Maple Wood Chimney For Signature Series Range Hood Covers

This Omega National chimney is the upper extension piece that connects a Signature Series wood range hood cover to the ceiling or upper wall, completing the visual line of the hood and giving the installation a finished, built-in appearance.

Key Features

• Maple wood construction accepts stain or paint to match surrounding cabinetry.
• Signature Series compatibility pairs this chimney with the matching Omega National Signature hood cover.
• Wall-mount position designed for wall-mounted hood installations.
• Ready-to-finish surface gives the finisher full control over the final color and sheen.
• Nominal 36-inch width coordinates with the corresponding Signature Series hood cover width.

Closing the Gap Between Hood and Ceiling

A wood range hood cover sits at a fixed height over the cooktop, but the ceiling above it varies from kitchen to kitchen. The chimney bridges that distance, running from the top of the decorative hood body up to the ceiling line and hiding the ductwork or the space behind it. Without the chimney, the installation reads as unfinished. With it, the hood looks like it belongs to the cabinetry rather than sitting in front of it. This chimney is the component that makes the stack complete, and it is sized to coordinate with the 36-inch Signature Series cover below it.

Species, Finish Prep, and Matching the Room

The chimney is milled from maple, a closed-grain hardwood that holds stain evenly and takes paint without raising. Because it ships ready-to-finish, the painter or finisher applies the color on-site after installation, which means the chimney can be matched precisely to the hood cover, the adjacent cabinet doors, or a painted wall treatment. Maple's consistent grain structure keeps the painted or stained surface looking intentional rather than patchy, which matters on a tall, visible panel like a chimney. The unfinished surface also lets a shop apply a custom conversion varnish or lacquer that matches a factory-finished door program.

Where This Chimney Fits Best

This piece is the right call on a wall-mount kitchen hood installation where the designer or cabinet shop is specifying the full Signature Series stack: hood cover below, chimney above, ventilator insert inside. It suits any kitchen where the hood is meant to read as woodwork rather than an appliance, from a traditional raised-panel kitchen with stained maple cabinetry to a painted shaker kitchen where the hood is a focal point. Cabinet shops finishing their own work will appreciate the ready-to-finish maple surface, and designers specifying a coordinated species and finish across the room will find that maple's neutrality gives the most flexibility.
