VMI 36"W Cherry Bead Board Wall Mount Range Hood, Liner Sold Separately, FBBWH 36 C

A 36-Inch Cherry Wood Hood Shell for a Bead Board Kitchen

This VMI Bead Board wall mount range hood is a decorative cherry wood shell, 36 inches wide, designed to frame the cooking area and carry the look of bead board cabinetry into the hood. The liner that connects it to a ventilation unit is sold separately.

Key Features

• Cherry wood construction brings natural grain character that stains to a rich, warm tone.
• Bead board panel detail coordinates with bead board cabinet doors and drawer fronts for a cohesive kitchen design.
• 36-inch width sized to work over a standard 36-inch cooktop or range opening.
• Ready-to-finish so the hood can be stained or painted to match the surrounding cabinetry after installation.
• Wall mount position attaches to the wall above the cooking surface in a traditional wall-hood configuration.
• Liner sold separately, which allows the ventilation unit and liner to be matched to the specific cooktop and duct configuration.

Where This Hood Fits in a Kitchen Design

Bead board is a classic panel detail used across traditional, farmhouse, and cottage-style kitchens. When the cabinet doors carry that texture, a plain flat hood reads as an afterthought. This shell extends the bead board motif up the wall and over the range, pulling the hood into the overall design rather than leaving it as a separate appliance. The cherry wood gives the piece a baseline warmth that responds well to both clear finishes that emphasize the natural grain and tinted stains that coordinate to the cabinet line.

Wood, Finish Prep, and Dimensions

The shell is built in cherry, a closed-grain hardwood that sands cleanly and takes stain evenly. Because it arrives ready-to-finish, the finisher has full control over the final color, sheen, and protection level. At 36 inches wide, 42 inches tall, and 20-1/2 inches deep, the shell has the proportions for a substantial hood presence over a standard-depth range. The ventilation hardware, which includes the blower and any filters, mounts inside the liner rather than in the wood shell itself, keeping the mechanical components separate from the decorative woodwork.

Who Orders This Shell

Cabinet shops building out a bead board kitchen in cherry are the core buyer here. The hood rounds out the room so the cabinetry feels complete. Designers specifying a traditional or farmhouse kitchen use it as the design anchor above the range, finishing it to match the stain or paint on the surrounding cabinets. Installers ordering for a client renovation will want to confirm the liner and ventilation unit alongside this shell, since the three components work together but ship separately.

Common Questions

The Design Detail That Completes the Room

A bead board kitchen in cherry reads as intentional from floor to ceiling when the hood matches the cabinets. This shell closes the gap above the range, in the right wood, with the right surface texture, finished on-site to the exact color the design calls for.
