This VMI 60-inch Detachable Front Mantel Hood is a decorative maple wood shell that mounts to the wall above the cooktop and delivers a built-in, mantel-style look. It is an unfinished wood enclosure designed to be stained or painted to match the surrounding cabinetry, and it works with a separately ordered liner and ventilator to complete the installation.
A mantel-style hood commands the wall above the range in the way a chimney surround commands a living room. At 60 inches wide, this shell suits a wide professional-style range or a cooktop with flanking cabinetry on either side. The proportions work well in kitchens where the hood is intended to be the architectural centerpiece of the cooking wall, whether the surrounding cabinets are full-height, with open shelving, or part of a larger millwork run. The unfinished maple surface means the hood finish can be coordinated precisely with the rest of the wood in the room rather than forced to approximate a stock color.
Maple is a fine-grained, stable hardwood with a smooth surface that accepts paint cleanly and holds stain evenly, making it a practical choice when the hood needs to match either a natural wood finish or a painted cabinet program. Because this shell ships unfinished, the finisher has full control over the final appearance. A shop applying a custom stain to the perimeter cabinetry can treat this hood in the same batch, producing a color match that a prefinished product cannot achieve. The detachable front panel also simplifies finishing, since the face can be finished flat before being reattached.
This product is the decorative wood enclosure. It does not include a blower, filters, lighting, or a liner. The ventilation unit that moves air above the cooktop is a separate selection, and the liner that houses it inside the shell is also ordered separately. For a wide-format 60-inch installation, confirming the liner dimensions and the ventilator model before ordering prevents rework once the hood is on the wall. Cabinet shops and designers specifying this for a client project should select the liner and ventilator in parallel so all three components are on hand before installation begins.
No. This is the decorative maple wood shell only. The liner and the ventilator that moves air are separate purchases and should be selected to suit the cooktop and ductwork before the hood goes on the wall.
The front face of the hood can be removed, which makes it easier to install the liner and ventilator into the shell and also simplifies finishing the panel separately before final assembly.
Yes. Maple's smooth, tight grain makes it one of the better wood species for paint. The ready-to-finish construction means any approved stain, paint, or topcoat can be applied after delivery.
The shell is 60 inches wide, 42 inches tall, and 25 inches deep.
Choose this VMI maple shell when the project calls for a 60-inch mantel-style hood that can be finished on-site to match the cabinetry, with the liner and ventilator specified separately to suit the range below.
