This VMI Upper Raised Panel wall-mount range hood is a decorative wood shell crafted from red oak, designed to frame the cooktop area with traditional raised-panel character. The liner and ventilation unit are sold separately, so this shell is selected for its woodwork and fitted with the mechanical components the installation requires.
Red oak is a cabinet-shop staple for good reason: it accepts stain evenly, holds detail well, and its open grain adds texture that reads as craftsmanship rather than plain surface. The raised panel profile on this shell uses that character to full effect, creating a hood that looks like it belongs to the cabinetry rather than sitting in front of it. Because the shell ships unfinished, the final color, stain tone, or paint match is controlled on-site to align with the surrounding doors and trim.
At 36 inches wide, 42-1/2 inches tall, and 20-1/2 inches deep, this shell is sized for a standard 36-inch wall-mount position above the range. The depth accommodates the liner assembly, and the height allows for a commanding visual presence on the wall. The liner is not included with this shell, and the ventilator that moves air is a separate selection as well. Matching the liner to the shell and then pairing a ventilation unit to the cooktop's output is the path to a complete, functioning installation.
This is the right choice for a kitchen built around traditional or transitional cabinetry where the hood is expected to look like part of the millwork. Cabinet shops finishing a run of red oak doors can match the hood shell in species and finish, producing a seamless wall. Designers specifying a focal point above the range without committing to a finish in advance will find the unfinished surface gives them full flexibility. Contractors staging a kitchen rough-in can source the shell early and finish it alongside the cabinets.
No. This is the decorative wood shell only. It has no blower, no motor, and no CFM rating. The liner and the ventilation unit that actually moves air are selected and purchased separately to match the cooktop and duct layout.
The liner is sold separately. Confirm the correct liner model for this shell and for the ventilator being installed before ordering.
Yes. The shell is supplied unfinished and can be painted or stained. Red oak's open grain is more visible under paint than a closed-grain species, so a paint-grade application may benefit from a grain filler depending on the finish goal.
This shell is 36 inches wide and is sized to work above a standard 36-inch range or cooktop in a wall-mount position.
Specify this red oak raised panel shell when the design calls for a hood that reads as cabinetry, finished on-site to match the doors and built to last as part of the kitchen's millwork.
