A Cherry Wood Hood Shell Built for Custom Kitchen Designs

This Omega National Artisan Series wall mount range hood is a decorative cherry wood shell that gives a kitchen the look of custom built-in cabinetry above the cooktop. At 42 inches wide, it is sized for wider cooktop runs and installs with a Broan-compatible liner included.

Key Features

• Artisan Series design in cherry wood brings warmth and character to the focal point above the range.
• 42 inches wide by 46 inches tall for installations above wider cooktops or ranges.
• Broan-compatible liner included so the shell is ready to accept a compatible Broan ventilation unit.
• Wall mount position for a traditional above-range installation against the wall.
• Ready-to-finish cherry wood supplied unfinished so stain or paint can be matched to the surrounding cabinetry.
• 19 inches deep to provide sufficient projection over a standard cooktop.

Cherry Wood at the Center of the Kitchen

Cherry is one of the more distinctive domestic hardwoods available for cabinetry work: it starts warm and deepens over time with exposure to light, shifting from a pale pinkish tone toward a richer reddish-brown. In a kitchen where the cabinetry is cherry, this shell carries that material language up to the hood and ties the whole wall together. In a mixed kitchen, it can serve as a deliberate accent against painted or stained cases. The Artisan Series profile is suited to traditional and transitional kitchens where the hood is meant to read as furniture rather than an appliance.

A Shell That Works With the Right Ventilator

This product is the decorative wood enclosure, not the ventilation unit. It does not move air, and it carries no blower, CFM rating, or filter of its own. The Broan-compatible liner ships in the box and provides the housing that a compatible Broan ventilator mounts into. The ventilation unit itself is a separate purchase, selected to match the cooktop output and the room's ventilation requirements. Once the ventilator, liner, and shell are assembled, the installation reads as one finished piece rather than a series of parts.

Who Specifies This Hood and Where It Fits

Cabinet shops finishing a cherry kitchen, designers specifying a traditional kitchen with a statement hood, and contractors building out a custom range wall are the typical buyers for this shell. The 42-inch width suits a 36-inch or 42-inch cooktop where the hood should be at least as wide as the cooking surface. Because the shell ships unfinished, the finisher can apply the same stain used on the cabinets for a seamless match, or use a contrasting paint finish to make the hood stand out. The 46-inch height gives the hood presence on the wall without requiring unusually high ceilings.
