A 42-Inch Alder Hood Shell for a Custom Built-In Look

This Omega National Signature Straight range hood is a 42-inch wide decorative alder wood shell designed to wall-mount above the cooktop and deliver a clean, straight-line profile that integrates with the surrounding cabinetry. A Sirius-compatible liner is included.

Key Features

• 42-inch width suits wider cooktop runs and open kitchen layouts where presence matters.
• Alder wood construction takes stain evenly and finishes cleanly to match adjacent cabinetry.
• Signature Straight style delivers a contemporary, low-profile silhouette without decorative corbels or curved valance.
• Ready-to-finish so the hood can be stained or painted on-site to coordinate with the kitchen finish.
• Sirius-compatible liner included to bridge the shell and your ventilation unit.
• Wall-mount position at 22-7/8 inches tall and 19 inches deep for a proportional fit over a standard range.

Where This Hood Shell Works Best

The Signature Straight profile is drawn for kitchens that favor clean geometry over traditional ornamentation. Without corbels or an arched valance, the straight lines read as part of the cabinet run rather than a focal-point appliance. At 42 inches wide, it covers a wider cooktop or range and fills the visual space between columns of upper cabinets, making it the right choice for a design that wants the hood to look like cabinetry rather than an added feature. It suits both modern frameless kitchens and transitional face-frame layouts where the door style is simple and flat-panel.

Alder, Ready to Finish

Alder is a close-grained domestic hardwood that accepts stain with consistent, even penetration, making it a reliable choice when the hood needs to match a stained cabinet finish rather than a paint-grade surface. This shell ships unfinished so the finishing happens on-site or in the shop alongside the cabinet doors, letting the color match be dialed in exactly. The straight-line construction means there are no carved details or routed profiles to complicate the finishing process.

The Shell, the Liner, and the Ventilator

This product is the decorative wood enclosure. It does not move air on its own. The Sirius-compatible liner is included in the package and positions the shell to accept a compatible Sirius ventilation unit, which is selected separately based on the cooktop output and the kitchen's duct configuration. Selecting the ventilator to pair with the liner is the remaining step before the hood system is complete. Cabinet shops and installers specifying this product for a client should confirm the ventilation unit and ducting plan before the hood ships, since the liner is matched to that insert family.
