Omega National 36"W Alder Straight Accent Wall Mount Range Hood, Broan Compatible Liner Included - R5336SMB1QUF1

36-Inch Alder Hood Shell for a Cabinetry-Matched Kitchen Wall

This Omega National straight accent range hood is a decorative alder wood shell designed for wall-mount installation above a cooktop. At 36 inches wide and 36 inches tall, it frames the range in natural alder that can be stained or painted to coordinate with the surrounding cabinetry. A Broan-compatible liner is included.

Key Features

• Alder wood construction offers a consistent, close-grained surface that accepts stain and paint evenly.
• Straight accent style delivers a clean profile that integrates naturally with both traditional and transitional kitchen designs.
• 36-inch width and 36-inch height suits a wide range cooktop run with generous visual presence above the wall.
• Ready-to-finish so the shell can be stained, painted, or clear-coated to match the kitchen after installation.
• Broan-compatible liner included to house the ventilation insert, ordered separately to suit the cooktop.
• Wall-mount position designed to attach to the wall above the cooking surface in a standard hood installation.

The Role This Shell Plays in the Kitchen

This product is the decorative wood enclosure, not the air-moving unit. It gives the range wall a finished, furniture-like presence while housing the ventilation hardware that does the actual work. The straight accent profile keeps the design grounded, making it a natural fit above a wide range in a kitchen where the cabinetry runs wall to wall. Because the shell ships ready-to-finish, it can be matched to the exact stain or paint color of the surrounding cabinet run before installation, so the finished hood reads as part of the cabinetry rather than an appliance placed in front of it.

Alder as a Finishing Canvas

Alder is a favored species for painted and stained work because its grain is relatively mild and its surface takes finishing products evenly without heavy prep. It stains to a warm, consistent tone and accepts paint without the blotchiness that open-grained species can show. For a kitchen where the cabinetry is alder or where the hood will be painted to match painted doors, this shell provides a compatible substrate. Because the product ships unfinished, the finish is applied in the shop or on-site to achieve the precise match the design calls for.

Where This Hood Fits Best

This shell suits a kitchen renovation or new build where a 36-inch wide cooktop or range sits against a wall and the design calls for a wood hood that feels like part of the cabinet package. Cabinet shops finishing a run of alder or painted cabinets can bring the hood into the same finishing schedule, producing a seamless result. Designers specifying a transitional or traditional kitchen will find the straight accent profile flexible enough to sit alongside shaker, raised-panel, or flat-front door styles. The ventilation insert is chosen separately based on the cooktop output and the room's duct situation, and the included Broan-compatible liner is the interface between shell and insert.
