Hickory Wood Hood Shell With Liner for Sirius Ventilation

This Omega National Signature Straight range hood is a decorative hickory wood shell that wall-mounts above a cooktop and ships with a liner sized for Sirius ventilation units. At 42 inches wide, it anchors the cooktop wall and accepts a compatible Sirius ventilator to complete the installation.

Key Features

• 42-inch-wide hickory shell brings natural wood grain and figure to the focal point of the kitchen.
• Signature Straight style pairs a clean, vertical profile with a straight valance for a transitional or traditional kitchen.
• Sirius compatible liner included so the ventilator housing ships with the shell rather than as a separate purchase.
• Ready-to-finish construction lets the finisher stain, paint, or topcoat to match the surrounding cabinetry.
• Wall-mount design at 22-7/8 inches tall and 19 inches deep fits standard over-range wall positions.

A Straight-Line Hood That Lets the Wood Do the Work

The Signature Straight profile keeps ornamentation minimal: a clean silhouette with a straight valance so the hickory grain and natural figure carry the visual interest. Hickory reads warmer and more textural than maple or paintable species, with pronounced grain variation that reads distinctly in both stained and light natural finishes. This shell is the right choice when the design calls for wood character at the hood without adding decorative millwork details that compete with the cabinetry.

Because this is a decorative shell, it frames the cooktop and provides the visual enclosure. The Sirius ventilator that moves air is selected separately to suit the cooktop and the kitchen's ventilation requirements.

Finishing and Construction

The shell arrives ready-to-finish, meaning no factory stain or topcoat has been applied. That leaves the finish decision open: a clear coat to show off natural hickory figure, a stain to match adjacent cabinet doors, or paint over a primer coat for a contrasting accent. Hickory accepts stain differently than maple or oak, tending toward a more dramatic grain contrast, so a finish sample on scrap from the same species is worth running before committing to the cabinet finish color.

At 42 inches wide, 22-7/8 inches tall, and 19 inches deep, the shell is sized for a 36- to 42-inch range position and standard 9-foot ceiling installations. Confirm the rough-in dimensions against the wall and cabinet layout before ordering.

Who Specifies This Hood

Cabinet shops finishing a hickory kitchen will find this shell the natural match when the client wants the hood to read as cabinetry rather than an appliance. Kitchen designers specifying a transitional or country-style kitchen get a straight-lined wood hood that coordinates with shaker or recessed-panel doors without requiring custom millwork. Contractors sourcing for a spec build can pair this shell with a Sirius ventilation unit and deliver a finished hood system in two components: the wood enclosure and the mechanical insert.

The Right Wood Enclosure for a Hickory Kitchen

Specify this shell when the hood needs to match hickory cabinetry and the straight-line profile suits the design. The liner ships with the unit, so the ventilator is the one remaining component to source and fit.
