VMI 36"W Red Oak Bead Board Victorian Wall Mount Range Hood, Liner Sold Separately - FDWHAC 36 RO

A Decorative Wood Hood Shell Built for Victorian-Inspired Kitchens

This VMI Bead Board Victorian wall mount range hood is a 36-inch wide red oak decorative shell designed to frame the cooktop and carry a traditional Victorian aesthetic across the kitchen wall. The liner and ventilation insert are sold separately, allowing the installer to match the ventilation to the cooktop and the kitchen layout.

Key Features

• Red oak construction offers prominent grain character suited to staining and traditional finish work.
• Bead Board Victorian style brings detailed panel texture and arched corbel detailing to the hood face.
• 36 inches wide, 42 inches tall, and 21-1/4 inches deep to anchor a standard single or double cooktop run.
• Wall mount position installs against the wall above the range or cooktop.
• Ready-to-finish surface accepts stain or paint after delivery so the hood matches the surrounding cabinetry.
• Liner and ventilator sold separately, giving flexibility to size the ventilation to the cooktop output.

Where This Hood Shell Works

The Bead Board Victorian is the right call when the kitchen design calls for more than a plain canopy. The bead board panel texture on the hood face and the arched corbel detailing at the base give this shell a furniture-grade presence that sits naturally alongside inset or raised-panel cabinetry in a traditional or farmhouse-style kitchen. At 36 inches wide, it spans a standard 30-inch or 36-inch range and provides enough visual mass to anchor the cooking wall without overwhelming a standard ceiling height. Cabinet shops building a Victorian or craftsman-influenced kitchen, and designers specifying custom woodwork packages, will find the unfinished red oak surface cooperative with whatever stain or painted finish the project calls for.

Red Oak, Unfinished, Ready for the Project Finish

Red oak is a hardwood with open, pronounced grain that takes stain deeply and evenly, making it a reliable base for medium-to-dark stain colors and for paint-grade work where a primer coat fills the grain first. Because this shell ships unfinished, the finishing schedule is the installer's or finisher's to control. Stain it to match cherry, walnut, or a custom color, or prime and paint it to coordinate with painted cabinetry. The 42-inch height and 21-1/4-inch depth provide enough hood body to create a substantial decorative presence once finished and mounted. The arched corbel profile at the base is already shaped into the wood, so no additional millwork is needed to achieve the Victorian form.

Sizing the Installation and the Ventilation Separately

This shell is the decorative woodwork. It does not move air on its own, and it does not include a liner or a ventilation insert. That separation is an advantage for custom kitchen work: the ventilation unit can be sized to the actual cooktop BTU output, the duct path, and the CFM requirement of the room, independent of the hood shell choice. Cabinet shops and installers will want to confirm the liner dimensions and the compatible ventilator model before ordering, since the liner seats into the shell and the ventilator mounts into the liner. For high-BTU ranges or commercial-style cooktops, there is room to specify a higher-capacity power pack without being constrained by a bundled insert.
