VMI 36"W Red Oak Decorative Mantel Wall Mount Range Hood, Liner Sold Separately - FDWHMT02 36 RO

VMI 36 Inch Red Oak Mantel Hood For Wall

VMI 36 inch red oak mantel hood is a decorative wood wall mount range hood that creates a bold, majestic focal point over the cooktop, so the hood becomes part of the kitchen design instead of just equipment. As a wood range hood from the Mantle Series, it is built to satisfy a modern familys tasteful need of antiquity and purposeful accents, which supports traditional or transitional layouts that need architectural detail. The red oak construction arrives sanded and ready for finishing, which lets you stain or paint it to match surrounding cabinetry for a unified run of wall cabinets. This wall mount design positions the hood on the wall above the range, keeping the profile consistent with upper cabinets and helping installers plan clearances and sightlines.

Key Mantel Series Details That Support Your Build

• The Mantle Series can accommodate all models of Air-Pro blower packs, which allows you to pair this wood shell with the specific Air-Pro internal blower performance needed for your ventilation layout.
• This hood is specified as a 36 inch decorative mantel hood, which aligns with 36 inch cooking widths and helps maintain proportional lines when centering the hood between upper cabinets in a standard run.
• The unit is supplied sanded and ready for finishing, which reduces prep time before applying stain, paint, or clear coat so the on-site finishing schedule can follow the rest of the cabinet finishing process.
• The liner is sold separately as noted, which lets you match the required standard liner to your chosen Air-Pro blower pack and ducting approach without changing the decorative wood shell.
• Doors are sold separately, which allows you to decide whether to add door elements to the hood design or leave it as an open mantel profile based on the rest of the kitchen cabinetry style.

Installation And Finishing Workflow For This Hood

This 36 inch wood mantel wall mount range hood is designed for wall installation over the cooking surface, so it fits typical layouts where the range backs to a wall and cabinets flank the hood. Because the Mantle Series can accommodate all models of Air-Pro blower packs, installers can plan the mechanical portion by selecting the blower pack and matching standard liner that fit the duct routing and performance needs. The hood ships sanded and ready for finishing, which allows finish work to follow the same steps used for surrounding red oak cabinets, supporting consistent color and sheen. With the liner sold separately and doors sold separately, the carpenter or installer can sequence rough mounting of the wood hood, then add the liner and blower pack, and finally complete any finishing and door installation steps.

The Mantle Series accommodation of all models of Air-Pro blower packs simplifies specifying, because one wood hood model can be paired with any Air-Pro blower pack needed across different projects.
