This VMI Upper Raised Panel wood range hood is a 36-inch wide decorative maple shell that brings traditional raised-panel cabinetry styling above the cooktop. It is supplied ready-to-finish so it can be stained or painted to match the surrounding cabinetry exactly. The liner is sold separately, and no ventilation unit is included.
A raised panel hood works hardest in kitchens built around traditional or transitional cabinetry. When the surrounding doors and drawer fronts carry a raised panel profile, a flat or plain hood shell breaks the visual run. This shell continues the profile up through the hood body, so the hood reads as part of the cabinet wall rather than a separate appliance. It is a particularly good fit for a range or cooktop centered on a wall flanked by upper cabinets, where the hood face is fully visible and the cabinetry detail matters.
Maple's closed grain and smooth texture make it one of the most finish-friendly species for painted or stained cabinetry. Because the shell ships unfinished, the finishing work happens after the hood is on-site, letting the painter match sheen, color, and grain filler to whatever the rest of the kitchen is receiving. That process also means the hood can be refinished later if the kitchen's color palette changes. The shell is solid maple construction, and the ready-to-finish state is intentional, not a shortcut: it is how a custom-match finish is achieved.
This shell is the decorative enclosure. To complete the hood, a liner and a compatible ventilation unit are ordered separately to suit the cooktop output, duct routing, and local ventilation requirements. Cabinet shops and designers specifying the hood as part of a kitchen package will want to confirm the liner size and ventilator model alongside this shell so all three components arrive together. Homeowners replacing an existing hood should verify the rough opening and depth against the 36-inch by 20-1/2-inch footprint before ordering. Because the shell is unfinished, it ships before the finish work, so coordinate delivery timing with the finishing schedule.
Neither. This is the decorative wood shell only. The liner and the ventilation unit that moves the air are both selected and ordered separately to match the cooktop and duct configuration.
Yes. Maple's smooth, tight grain makes it well suited to paint. Because the shell ships ready-to-finish, the finishing system, whether paint, stain, or glaze, is applied on-site after installation.
The raised panel detail is on the front face of the hood shell. Confirm the exact panel layout against the product drawings if your design requires a specific profile on the sides as well.
The shell is 42-1/2 inches tall and 20-1/2 inches deep. Verify that both dimensions clear the available wall height and the countertop depth before finalizing the rough opening.
Specify this maple raised-panel shell when the kitchen calls for a hood that continues the cabinetry's door style rather than interrupting it, finished on-site for a seamless match.
