VMI 36"W Hickory Arched Raised Panel Island Top Mount Range Hood, Liner Sold Separately - FDWHAP IS 36 H

A Hickory Raised Panel Island Hood Shell Built for Four-Sided Viewing

This VMI decorative wood island range hood is a 36-inch-wide hickory shell in the arched raised panel style, designed for top-mount installation at island cooktops where the hood is visible from all sides. The shell is supplied unfinished and ready to receive stain or paint. The liner that seats the ventilator is sold separately.

Key Features

• Hickory wood shell with pronounced grain character that takes stain well for a natural or dramatic finish.
• Arched raised panel design brings traditional cabinet-door detail to all four faces of the island hood.
• 36-inch width sized to cover a standard island cooktop run.
• Top-mount position for island installations where the hood hangs above the cooktop rather than mounting to a wall.
• Ready to finish so it can be stained or painted on-site to match the surrounding cabinetry.
• Liner sold separately so the ventilator and liner are selected to match the cooktop and kitchen layout.

Designed for the Island, Seen From Every Angle

A wall hood sits against a surface and is viewed from the front. An island hood floats above the cooking area and draws attention from every direction in the room. The arched raised panel detailing on this shell carries the traditional cabinet motif around all four faces, so the hood reads as finished cabinetry from across the kitchen, not just from where someone is standing at the range. At 40-1/2 inches tall and 32-1/2 inches deep, it has the proportions to anchor a large island without looking undersized next to full-height perimeter cabinetry.

Hickory and the Ready-to-Finish Approach

Hickory is a hardwood with bold, high-contrast grain and tight figure that holds stain differently than uniform species like maple. The variation in tone from heartwood to sapwood is part of the character, and it reads well in both rustic and transitional kitchens. Because the shell ships ready to finish, the stain, wash, or paint is applied after delivery and installation, which allows the finisher to match the exact batch and tone of the surrounding cabinets rather than working to a factory sample. Paint-grade applications are also possible when a uniform color is the goal.

Who This Shell Is For

This hood suits a kitchen designer or cabinet shop building a traditional or transitional island kitchen where the hood needs to read as part of the millwork. It works equally well for a homeowner finishing a renovation who wants a wood hood over an island range without committing to a stainless appliance aesthetic. Because the liner and ventilator are selected separately, the mechanical side of the hood can be sized to the cooktop's BTU output and the room's duct configuration independently of the decorative shell selection.
