VMI hickory arched double panel wall mount range hood is a wood range hood designed for kitchens using a 36 inch wide wall mounting space. The hickory construction supports projects where a natural wood species is required for a coordinated cabinet layout. The arched double panel front follows a raised panel design that has been used since the 17th century, so it suits classic kitchen styles needing a traditional focal point above the cooking area. The hood is part of the Raised Panel Series, which is intended for classic style kitchens such as Colonial, Georgian, Federalist, and Queen Anne, helping maintain architectural continuity across the room. The hood ships sanded and ready for finishing, which allows finishing steps to be aligned with existing cabinet stains, paints, or clear coats during the same finishing stage.
This 36 inch hickory wall mount range hood is configured for wall-mounted installations, matching the common cabinet and appliance width at the cooking zone. The wall-mount format supports layouts where the cooktop is located against a wall and framed by upper cabinets or decorative panels. Because the hood surface is sanded and ready for finishing, finishing teams can apply stain, paint, or clear coating in the same workflow as nearby cabinet doors and face frames. That ready-for-finishing condition helps maintain consistent color and sheen between the hood and the rest of the woodwork, which is important when the hood sits at eye level as a central design element.
This FDWHRP02 36 H wood range hood is part of the VMI Raised Panel Series, aligning it with projects that use other raised panel cabinet doors and decorative parts in the kitchen. The 36 inch width is suited to installations above cooking equipment sized to the same nominal width, allowing the hood to visually align with base cabinets below. The hickory construction positions the hood for jobs where hickory cabinets or trim are present, so the grain character can continue uninterrupted across the cooking wall. As a wall-mount model, it is intended for locations where the hood is anchored to a wall surface rather than suspended over an island, which simplifies layout around adjacent wall cabinets and molding details.
The arched double panel front uses a raised panel design that has been in use since the 17th century, so it supports kitchen plans focused on traditional styling rather than contemporary flat-panel looks. Because the design has been incorporated into Colonial, Georgian, Federalist, and Queen Anne styles, it allows the range hood to follow the same language found in period trim, paneled doors, and wainscoting. This continuity across architectural elements helps installers integrate the hood into existing millwork without visually breaking the style. Being part of a coordinated Raised Panel Series also matters when multiple hood types are needed, since the same face style can be repeated on wall-mount and island installations throughout a larger project.
The FDWHRP02 36 H range hood is described as a 36 inch hood, which aligns with common 36 inch cooking equipment and cabinet openings along the wall.
The hood is described as hickory, so it uses hickory wood to coordinate with hickory cabinets or trim in the kitchen design.
The product is identified as a wall mount range hood, so it is designed for mounting to a wall above the cooking surface.
The raised panel design has been used since the 17th century in styles such as Colonial and Georgian, so it supports classic, historically inspired kitchen layouts.
The hood being sanded and ready for finishing allows finishing work to follow immediately, so stains or paints can be applied to match surrounding cabinetry.
This hood is part of the Raised Panel Series, which offers both wall-mount and island models so projects can keep the same raised panel look in different locations.
