This VMI Upper Raised Panel range hood is a 36-inch wide decorative wood shell in cherry, designed to wall-mount above a cooktop and integrate with traditional or transitional kitchen cabinetry. It is a hood shell only and does not include a liner or ventilation unit.
The Upper Raised Panel profile is the detail that gives a kitchen its traditional character over the cooktop. The raised panel faces carry the same visual language as raised-panel cabinet doors, so the hood reads as a natural extension of the cabinetry rather than a separate appliance. At 36 inches wide and 42-1/2 inches tall, it fills the wall run above a standard range and draws the eye upward to the ceiling line. Because this product is the decorative shell, the ventilation work is handled by a compatible liner and ventilation unit selected to suit the cooktop output and the home's ductwork layout, both sourced separately.
Cherry is chosen for its warm reddish-brown tones and fine, consistent grain, which deepen with age and light exposure. The shell arrives unfinished, giving the finishing professional control over the final stain color, sheen level, or paint finish. That flexibility is the practical advantage of ready-to-finish construction: the hood can be finished to an exact match with the surrounding cabinet doors before installation, whether the kitchen runs a dark espresso stain or a warm natural oil.
Cabinet shops finishing a traditional kitchen package, designers coordinating a custom cabinetry run, and contractors completing a high-end remodel will find this shell a practical fit when the client wants cherry cabinetry carried through to the hood. The 36-inch width suits the most common residential range and cooktop footprint, and the wall-mount configuration works on a standard backsplash wall where there is no island or peninsula below. Because the liner and ventilator are chosen separately, each trade in the install sequence can specify the mechanical system that fits the cooktop and the ducting path without being constrained by a bundled unit.
No. This is the decorative wood shell only. The liner and ventilation unit are sold separately and should be selected to match the cooktop output and the ductwork configuration.
Yes. The shell ships ready-to-finish, so it accepts stain, paint, or another approved finishing system applied before or after installation.
The shell is 36 inches wide, 42-1/2 inches tall, and 20-1/2 inches deep.
This is a wall-mount hood designed to install against the wall above the cooking surface.
Specify this VMI Upper Raised Panel shell when the design calls for a 36-inch cherry wood hood that carries traditional raised-panel detailing, finishes to the cabinet color, and accepts the liner and ventilator selected for the job.
