Omega National Wood Hood Shell for a Custom Cherry Kitchen

This Omega National Arched Series range hood is a 36-inch-wide decorative wood shell in cherry, wall-mounted and designed to bring a traditional raised-panel presence above the cooktop. A Sirius-compatible liner is included so the shell is ready to receive a compatible ventilation insert, ordered separately.

Key Features

• Cherry wood construction in an arched raised-panel style suited to traditional and transitional kitchen designs.
• 36 inches wide by 24-7/8 inches tall and 19 inches deep, sized for a standard wall-mount position above a 36-inch range or cooktop.
• Sirius-compatible liner included so the shell is pre-fitted to accept the matching ventilation insert.
• Wall-mount position installs against the wall above the cooking surface.
• Unfinished cherry arrives ready to stain or paint to match the surrounding cabinetry.

Where This Hood Fits in the Kitchen

The arched raised-panel profile reads as traditional cabinetry rather than a standalone appliance, which makes it the right choice when the hood is meant to carry the door style of the kitchen across the wall. Cherry's warm, reddish-brown grain darkens and deepens with age, so a stained finish tends to grow richer over time rather than fading. At 36 inches wide and 19 inches deep, the shell covers a standard 36-inch range position and has enough depth to sit naturally above the cooking surface without crowding the wall cabinets on either side.

Material, Finish Prep, and the Included Liner

The shell is unfinished cherry, which means the wood arrives ready to accept stain, paint, or another finish system applied on site. Because cherry is a close-grained hardwood with a smooth, even texture, it takes both oil-based and water-based stains cleanly and produces a consistent result without much prep work. The Sirius-compatible liner ships with the shell: it is the internal metal component that seats the ventilation insert and protects the wood interior. The ventilation insert itself is a separate purchase and should be selected to match the Sirius liner and sized to the cooktop output.

Who Reaches for This Shell

Cabinet shops building traditional or transitional kitchens with raised-panel door styles often specify this shell when the customer wants the hood to look like it belongs to the cabinetry rather than being added after. Designers working with cherry cabinetry lines find the species match straightforward. Homeowners renovating a kitchen with existing cherry cabinets can finish the shell on site to coordinate with the installed cabinetry. The 36-inch width suits a standard four-burner range position, and the wall-mount configuration keeps the install straightforward for contractors already running a duct line up the wall.
