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

Cherry Bead Board Detail and Victorian Character in a 36-Inch Wall Hood

This VMI decorative wood range hood shell brings a traditional Victorian profile to the wall above the cooktop, finished in cherry that the installer stains or paints to match the kitchen. It is the decorative enclosure, not the ventilation unit: a liner is required and is sold separately.

Key Features

• Cherry wood construction provides a clear, tight grain that takes stain evenly for a rich finished result.
• Bead board Victorian design features an arched corbel profile suited to traditional and craftsman kitchen styles.
• 36 inches wide, 42 inches tall, and 21-1/4 inches deep for a substantial presence above a standard 36-inch range or cooktop.
• Wall-mount configuration installs directly against the wall without requiring adjacent cabinet attachment.
• Ready-to-finish surface accepts stain, paint, or another approved finishing system applied after installation.
• Liner not included: a compatible liner and ventilation unit are ordered separately to complete the installation.

Victorian Style Over the Range

The arched corbel profile and bead board paneling give this hood a distinctly traditional character that fits naturally in kitchens built around inset or raised-panel cabinetry, furniture-style islands, or craftsman trim packages. Where a flat-panel or contemporary hood would read as a plain box, this shell reads as a purposeful piece of millwork. At 42 inches tall and 21-1/4 inches deep, it fills the wall space between the cabinets and the ceiling with a shape that carries visual weight and holds its own against an elaborate kitchen design.

Cherry Wood and a Ready-to-Finish Surface

Cherry is selected for its fine, consistent grain and the warmth it develops under a clear or lightly tinted stain. Because this shell ships ready-to-finish, the final color is chosen on-site after the hood is installed and trimmed out, making it straightforward to match an existing cherry cabinet finish or to dial in a custom tone. Paint-grade work is also possible: the surface accepts primer and paint, though cherry's natural grain is a reason most installers prefer a stain or clear coat.

Who It Fits and What It Needs

This hood suits a kitchen remodel or new build where the design calls for a traditional wall-mount hood with pronounced decorative detail. Cabinet shops and finish carpenters sourcing for a Victorian or craftsman interior will find the corbel and bead board elements save fabrication time compared to building a similar profile from scratch. Homeowners specifying their own renovation can use this shell to achieve a custom-millwork look without a custom price. Because the liner and ventilation insert are sold separately, the ventilation is sized independently to the cooktop and the room, giving the designer flexibility to specify the right CFM without being locked into a bundled unit.
