36-Inch Alder Hood Shell for a Straight-Line Kitchen Design

This Omega National Signature Straight range hood is a 36-inch-wide decorative wood shell in alder, wall-mounted and supplied unfinished so it can be stained or painted to coordinate with the surrounding cabinetry. A Sirius-compatible liner is included.

Key Features

• Alder wood construction accepts stain or paint for a finish that matches the kitchen.
• Signature Straight design delivers a clean, linear profile suited to contemporary and transitional kitchens.
• 36-inch width sized for standard 36-inch cooktops and range openings.
• Sirius-compatible liner included so the shell is ready to accept a Sirius ventilation unit.
• Wall-mount position installs against the wall above the cooking surface.
• Supplied unfinished with no prefinish applied, leaving full control over the final color and sheen.

Where This Hood Fits in the Kitchen

The Signature Straight profile is built around a continuous, unbroken horizontal line. There are no curves, corbels, or tapered sides, just a clean rectangular shell that reads as an extension of the upper cabinet run rather than a focal appliance. That restraint works well in kitchens where the cabinetry is the feature and the hood should read as part of it. At 22-7/8 inches tall and 19 inches deep, the shell fills the space between the upper cabinets and the cooking surface without dominating the room.

Alder and the Finishing Process

Alder is a fine-grained domestic hardwood that takes stain evenly and finishes smoothly, making it a practical choice when the goal is a close match to painted or stained cabinetry. Because this shell ships with no prefinish applied, the finish work happens on-site or in the shop after installation, following the same process used on the adjacent cabinet boxes and doors. That approach keeps the color and sheen consistent across the wall rather than relying on a factory finish to approximate a match.

Who Orders This Shell and Why

Cabinet shops specifying a hood that will be finished in-house alongside the cabinet package reach for an unfinished shell so the entire wall goes through the same finishing process at the same time. Designers working on a contemporary or transitional kitchen choose the straight-line profile because it reinforces the horizontal geometry of flat-panel or shaker-door cabinetry without adding decorative weight. Contractors completing a full kitchen install use the included Sirius-compatible liner to simplify the mechanical rough-in, since the liner and ventilator seat together without a separate liner purchase. For any of these buyers, the 36-inch width fits a standard single-wide range position, and the wall-mount configuration is the standard specification for most residential kitchen layouts.

The Signature Straight in alder gives a 36-inch cooktop position a finished hood that reads as part of the cabinet wall, not apart from it, with a liner already matched to a Sirius ventilator and a wood surface ready for whatever finish the kitchen calls for.
