36-Inch Maple Hood Shell for a Built-In Kitchen Focal Point

This Omega National straight accent range hood is a 36-inch wide decorative maple wood shell designed to wall-mount above a cooktop and integrate with the surrounding cabinetry for a clean, custom look. A Broan-compatible liner is included.

Key Features

• Straight accent valance design gives the hood a defined, architectural profile above the range.
• 36-inch width and 30-inch height suit a standard 36-inch cooktop run with substantial vertical presence.
• Solid maple construction is unfinished and ready to stain or paint to coordinate with the kitchen.
• Broan-compatible liner included so the ventilator can be selected and installed without sourcing a separate liner.
• Wall-mount position installs against the wall above the range in a standard hood location.
• 6-3/16-inch depth keeps the shell proportional without projecting far into the space above the cooktop.

The Decorative Shell Over the Range

This product is the woodwork, not the ventilation. The shell creates the visible form of the range hood, providing the wood enclosure that gives the kitchen its custom, built-in character. At 36 inches wide and 30 inches tall, it suits a full-width cooktop run and holds its own as a visual anchor on the wall. The straight accent valance keeps the lower profile clean and linear, which reads well against both traditional and transitional cabinet styles. Because the shell is unfinished maple, it accepts stain or paint after installation so the color and sheen can be matched exactly to the surrounding cabinetry.

Material and Finish Preparation

Maple is a close-grained hardwood that takes stain evenly and holds paint with a smooth surface, which makes it a reliable choice when the finished hood needs to match an existing kitchen. The shell arrives unfinished, so the finishing work happens on-site or in the shop after the hood is fitted and any trim adjustments are made. This approach lets the finisher apply the same stain batch or paint lot used on adjacent cabinets, producing a match that is difficult to achieve with a factory-finished product. The Broan-compatible liner ships with the shell, so the primary remaining selection is the ventilator that seats into that liner.

Where This Shell Works Best

Cabinet shops and finish carpenters building a kitchen with a dedicated hood wall will find this shell straightforward to work with: it mounts to the wall, accepts the included liner, and finishes in whatever system the rest of the cabinetry uses. Designers specifying a kitchen remodel can call it out by the manufacturer part number knowing that the liner is already in the package and only the ventilator needs a separate line item. Homeowners working with a contractor on a kitchen refresh get the benefit of a real wood hood that can be painted or stained on the day of finishing, not a factory color that has to be close enough. Because the shell is 36 inches wide, it pairs with a 36-inch or narrower cooktop and gives clearance to either side for a balanced look.
