Maple Wood Hood Shell for a Built-In Kitchen Look

This Omega National Straight Accent wall mount range hood is a 36-inch-wide decorative maple wood shell that frames the space above the cooktop and integrates with surrounding cabinetry for a custom, built-in appearance. A Broan-compatible liner is included. This is the decorative enclosure, not the ventilation unit.

Key Features

• Maple wood construction with a straight accent valance for a clean, classic profile.
• 36 inches wide by 30 inches tall, at 6-3/16 inches deep, sized for a standard 36-inch range or cooktop position.
• Ready-to-finish maple so the shell can be stained or painted to coordinate with the kitchen cabinetry.
• Broan-compatible liner included, providing the internal housing needed to accept a compatible Broan ventilation unit.
• Wall mount design attaches directly to the wall above the cooking surface.

Where This Hood Fits the Kitchen Design

The straight accent style suits kitchens where the hood needs to read as part of the cabinetry rather than as a separate stainless appliance. The clean, straight valance works with traditional, transitional, and shaker-style cabinet lines alike. Because the shell is supplied unfinished, the finishing can be done on-site after install to match the exact stain or paint color of the surrounding cabinets, including any glaze, toning, or custom color work that a prefixed finish would not accommodate.

At 36 inches wide, the shell aligns with a standard 36-inch cooktop or range and suits both face-frame and frameless cabinet installations where the adjacent wall cabinets frame the hood opening.

Wood, Finish Prep, and the Included Liner

Maple is a close-grained hardwood that takes stain evenly and finishes cleanly, making it a reliable choice when the hood needs to match maple cabinetry or accept a paint finish without excessive grain telegraphing. The shell arrives ready-to-finish, meaning sanding, sealing, and finishing are completed by the installer or finisher after delivery.

The Broan-compatible liner ships with the shell. The liner is the internal metal component that seats inside the wood body and provides the housing for the ventilator. The ventilation unit that moves the air is a separate selection, sized to the cooktop and the kitchen's ventilation requirements.

A Good Fit For Custom Cabinetry Projects

This shell is well-suited for cabinet shops and designers specifying a wood hood that needs to match a site-applied finish, and for contractors installing a coordinated hood in a kitchen where the cabinetry finish is being applied on-site. Homeowners working with a custom kitchen or a finish carpenter will find the unfinished maple compatible with any finishing system they are already using on the other cabinets. Because the liner is included, the main remaining selection is the ventilator itself, matched to the cooktop's BTU output and the room's ventilation path.

Common Questions

The Right Shell When the Finish Has to Match

Choose this 36-inch maple Straight Accent shell when the design calls for a wood hood that blends into the cabinetry and the finish will be applied on-site. The included Broan-compatible liner means one fewer item to source separately before the ventilator goes in.
