A Hickory Raised Panel Hood Shell Built for the Wall Above Your Range

This Omega National Arched Series wall mount range hood is a 36-inch decorative wood shell in hickory, featuring a raised panel design and arched valance. It ships with a Sirius compatible liner included and is supplied ready-to-finish so it can be stained or painted to coordinate with the surrounding cabinetry.

Key Features

• Hickory wood construction with a raised panel face and arched valance for a traditional, furniture-grade look.
• 36-inch wide by 24-7/8-inch tall shell sized for a standard wall-mount position above a residential range.
• Sirius compatible liner included so the ventilation insert can be specified and ordered alongside the shell.
• Ready-to-finish so the shell accepts stain, paint, or another approved finishing system after installation.
• Wall mount position designed to install against the wall above the cooktop.
• 19-inch depth provides visual presence over the range while staying within a standard projection from the wall.

The Role This Shell Plays in a Hood Installation

This product is the decorative wood enclosure, the part of the range hood that the eye sees. Hickory's pronounced grain and natural variation give the shell a character that reads as custom cabinetry rather than an appliance. The raised panel face and arched valance reinforce that traditional feel, making this a natural pairing with inset or face-frame cabinetry in a kitchen that leans toward classic or craftsman styling.

Because this is the shell and not the ventilator, it does not move air on its own. The Sirius compatible liner ships with the unit and is the housing that accepts the ventilation insert. The blower, which is the part that clears smoke and cooking odors from the cooktop, is sourced separately and specified to match the cooktop output and the room's ventilation requirements.

Hickory, Raised Panel, and the Ready-to-Finish Advantage

Hickory is one of the more visually active domestic hardwoods: the grain shifts between light and dark bands, and the figure varies from board to board. That natural variation means a stained hickory hood integrates with the kitchen at a level of detail that painted finishes can obscure. The ready-to-finish state gives the finisher full control over the color, sheen, and final look, whether that means matching an existing stain on the cabinet doors or choosing a contrasting painted valance. The raised panel detail adds shadow and depth to the face of the shell, consistent with a traditional door style across the kitchen.

Where This Hood Fits Best

The 36-inch width suits a standard residential range or cooktop of the same width, and the wall mount position places the shell against the wall above the cooking surface rather than on a ceiling or island configuration. Designers specifying for a kitchen remodel will find the hickory species and raised panel detail a direct match for cabinetry that uses the same species or a complementary traditional profile. Cabinet shops finishing a full kitchen in hickory can match the hood shell in the same finishing process as the doors. Contractors installing a complete kitchen package will need to coordinate the liner with the ventilation insert choice before the rough-in is closed.
