This VMI Detachable Front mantel wood range hood is a 36-inch-wide decorative shell in unfinished maple, designed to wall-mount above a cooktop and accept a separately sourced liner and ventilation unit. The detachable front panel is what sets this series apart: it separates from the hood body for easier installation and simplified finishing, making it a practical choice when the hood is going into an existing cabinet run or being finished on-site.
Finishing a wood hood in place is one of the tighter jobs in a kitchen installation. The detachable front on this shell changes that workflow: the front panel comes off the body, so it can be finished flat on a bench, wiped down, or painted in a controlled environment before it goes back up. For installers working in a finished kitchen, that separation also reduces the clearance needed to maneuver the main body into position. The result is a cleaner finish and fewer workarounds during the install.
Maple is a close-grain hardwood that takes stain evenly and holds a painted finish well, which is why it shows up in cabinet shops as a go-to species for painted or stained door programs. This hood shell arrives unfinished so the maple can be matched precisely to the cabinet finish already in the kitchen, whether that is a toned stain, a factory-matched paint, or a clear topcoat. At 36 inches wide, it spans a standard single-unit cooktop position and sits 42 inches tall with a 25-inch depth.
Cabinet shops finishing a run to the ceiling with a coordinated hood, designers specifying a mantel-style focal point above a range, and contractors handling a full kitchen install where the hood needs to blend into custom cabinetry are the buyers who make this product work. The unfinished maple requires a finishing step, so it suits projects where the finish is being controlled in-shop or on-site rather than ordered pre-finished. Because the liner and ventilation unit are purchased separately, the airflow capacity can be sized to the specific cooktop without being locked into a bundled unit.
No. This is the decorative wood shell only. The liner and the ventilation unit that moves air are sold separately, so you can select the insert that suits your cooktop output and hood configuration.
The front panel is designed to detach from the hood body to make installation and finishing easier. It ships as part of the hood assembly and is reattached after the install and finishing steps are complete.
Yes. Maple is a close-grain species that holds paint cleanly, and the shell arrives unfinished so it can be stained, painted, or sealed to match the surrounding cabinetry.
36 inches wide, 42 inches tall, and 25 inches deep.
Choose this 36-inch maple shell when the installation calls for a detachable-front mantel hood that can be finished on-site and paired with the liner and ventilator that fit the job.
