A 30-Inch Cherry Wood Hood Shell for a Seamless Cabinetry Look

This Omega National Straight Accent accent range hood is a decorative wood shell in cherry, designed to integrate above the cooktop as part of the surrounding cabinetry. The 30-inch-wide by 36-inch-tall shell mounts to the wall and delivers the visual presence of a built-in mantel hood without any built-in ventilation of its own. A Broan-compatible silver metallic liner is included to accept a separately selected ventilation insert.

Key Features

• Cherry wood species brings warm, fine-grained character that accepts stain or paint to coordinate with the cabinet run.
• Straight Accent mantel-style design integrates with adjacent cabinetry rather than reading as a standalone appliance.
• 30 inches wide by 36 inches tall fits a standard single-width cooktop position with substantial visual height.
• Broan-compatible liner included so the mechanical ventilation unit can be selected and fitted without sourcing a separate liner.
• Ready-to-finish construction means the shell arrives unfinished and can be stained or painted on-site to match the kitchen.
• Wall-mount position with a 6-3/16-inch depth keeps the profile tight to the wall surface.

Where This Shell Fits in a Kitchen Design

The Straight Accent hood is built for kitchens where the range wall is anchored by upper cabinetry on both sides of the cooktop and the designer wants the hood to read as part of that run rather than as a separate stainless appliance. The mantel-style form sits between those flanking cabinets and at the right height becomes a natural focal point that ties the wall together. At 30 inches wide, it suits a standard 30-inch range or cooktop position and pairs well with upper cabinet heights that allow 36 inches of shell from the underside of the hood to the top. Cherry's warm reddish-brown tone and fine, straight grain make it a natural match for cherry cabinet doors, but it also takes paint well in kitchens going for a more transitional or painted look.

Wood, Finish Prep, and the Liner

Cherry is one of the most specified domestic hardwoods in residential cabinetry, valued for a grain that stains evenly and a color that deepens attractively over time. Because this shell arrives ready-to-finish, the finish can be matched precisely to the surrounding cabinet doors and frames in the shop or on-site before installation. The 6-3/16-inch depth is shallow enough for most wall conditions without requiring special framing. The included Broan-compatible silver metallic liner sits inside the shell and provides the mechanical housing that a compatible Broan ventilation insert mounts into. The ventilation unit itself is a separate purchase sized to the cooktop and the kitchen's ventilation requirements.

Who Benefits Most From This Shell

Cabinet shops finishing a full-cherry kitchen and needing the hood to match the door species will find this shell a direct fit, arriving unfinished so the same stain schedule applied to the doors can be applied here. Designers specifying a painted transitional kitchen can use the ready-to-finish surface as a blank canvas for a contrasting or coordinating color. Contractors installing the hood benefit from having the Broan-compatible liner already included, removing one sourcing step from the job. For any application, the ventilation insert is selected separately based on cooktop BTU output and local ventilation code, and the liner is already in the box ready to receive it.
