This VMI decorative wood range hood shell brings the warmth and grain character of red oak to the wall above the cooktop, sized at 48 inches wide and wall-mounted for a classic kitchen focal point. The shell is the woodwork, not the ventilation hardware; a liner is selected and purchased separately to accept the compatible ventilation insert.
At 48 inches wide, this shell is sized to span a larger range or cooktop and hold visual weight on the kitchen wall. The arched double panel face adds a traditional, built-up look that reads more like a furniture piece than an appliance enclosure. The 40-1/2-inch height and 21-1/4-inch depth give the hood proper presence above the range without pushing into the ceiling or crowding the space above the cooking surface. Wall-mount positioning means the shell goes directly to the wall, anchored as part of the kitchen's vertical design rather than floating between upper cabinets.
Red oak is a open-grain hardwood with a warm reddish tone and pronounced ray fleck, characteristics that show through stain in a way that pairs naturally with traditional and transitional kitchen designs. Because this shell arrives unfinished, the woodworker or finisher on the job has full control: the color can be matched to existing red oak doors and frames, taken darker for contrast, or painted if the design calls for it. The open grain of red oak also takes stain evenly, which helps achieve consistent color across the large surface area of a 48-inch hood face.
This shell fits a renovation or new construction project where a 48-inch wall-mount hood is part of the kitchen design and the finish is being matched to existing or custom red oak cabinetry. Cabinet shops, finish carpenters, and kitchen designers who are coordinating hood woodwork with the surrounding millwork will find the unfinished red oak shell the right starting point. Because the liner is a separate purchase, the installer selects the liner and ventilation insert that suit both the shell dimensions and the ventilation requirements of the cooktop. Confirm the liner and ventilator specifications against this shell's dimensions before completing the order.
No. The liner is sold separately, and the ventilation insert is a separate purchase as well. This product is the decorative red oak wood shell only.
Yes. Because the shell arrives unfinished, it can receive paint, stain, or a clear finish. Red oak has a visible open grain that will telegraph through paint unless a grain filler or primer is used first, which some finishers prefer for a smoother painted surface.
A wall-mount hood attaches directly to the wall above the cooking surface and does not require upper cabinet support on either side. It is the right configuration when the range sits against a wall and there are no flanking upper cabinets at hood height.
48 inches wide, 40-1/2 inches tall, and 21-1/4 inches deep.
This 48-inch wall-mount shell gives a wide cooktop wall a finished wood hood in red oak, ready for the site finish that ties it to the rest of the kitchen.
