A 42-Inch Red Oak Hood Shell Built for a Sirius Ventilator

This Omega National Signature Straight range hood is a 42-inch decorative wood shell in red oak, wall-mounted and supplied with a compatible liner for Sirius ventilation units. It is the enclosure that frames the cooktop and defines the hood's look, finished by the installer to match the kitchen.

Key Features

• Red oak construction with an open, pronounced grain that takes stain and finish well.
• 42-inch width suits wider cooktop runs and 42-inch cabinet configurations.
• Signature Straight profile delivers a clean, linear silhouette without decorative curves.
• Sirius-compatible liner included so the shell is ready to accept a compatible Sirius ventilator.
• Wall-mount design installs against the wall above the range.
• Ready-to-finish with no pre-applied stain or topcoat, giving the finisher full control over color and sheen.

The Right Shell for a Straight-Line Kitchen Design

The Signature Straight profile suits kitchens where the design language runs clean and rectilinear. There are no arched valances or ornate details here: the hood reads as a strong horizontal element that fits alongside shaker, flat-panel, and contemporary cabinet styles. At 42 inches wide, it covers a broader range span than a standard 36-inch shell, which makes it a natural fit when the cooktop or the cabinetry run is sized to match. The wall-mount position places it against the wall surface above the range, so the installation does not depend on a ceiling drop or a soffit.

Red Oak, Ready to Match the Room

Red oak brings a pronounced, open grain to the shell surface, which accepts stain readily and shows depth in a finished coat. Because the shell ships ready-to-finish with no pre-applied color, the painter or finisher controls the final result. That matters when the goal is a close match to surrounding cabinetry: the same stain applied to the hood and the adjacent cabinets reads as a continuous, built-in installation. The shell measures 22-7/8 inches tall and 19 inches deep, dimensions that determine how far the hood projects from the wall and how it relates to the upper cabinet run.

Who Specifies This Shell and When

Cabinet shops building a custom kitchen around a Sirius ventilator reach for this shell when the client wants a 42-inch hood in red oak with a straight profile. Designers specifying for a transitional or contemporary kitchen benefit from the clean line and the flexibility a ready-to-finish surface provides. Contractors installing a replacement hood will find the liner-included package reduces the sourcing step: the liner ships with the shell and is already matched to the Sirius ventilator family. The ventilator itself is a separate purchase and is selected to suit the cooktop output and the duct configuration of the installation.

Common Questions

The Shell That Sets the Stage

A straight-profile red oak shell at 42 inches is a specific tool for a specific design outcome. Pair it with a Sirius ventilator, finish it to match, and the hood becomes part of the cabinetry rather than an appliance sitting in front of it.
