Omega National Wood Hood Shell for Red Oak Cabinetry

This Omega National Artisan Series wall-mount range hood is a decorative wood shell in red oak, sized at 36 inches wide and supplied with a Sirius-compatible liner so the decorative enclosure and the liner arrive together, ready to receive a compatible ventilation unit.

Key Features

• Red oak construction brings a pronounced grain character that stains well and coordinates naturally with red oak cabinet runs.
• Artisan Series styling delivers a traditional, crafted aesthetic suited to framed cabinetry and transitional kitchens.
• 36-inch width fits ranges and cooktops in that size class and aligns with standard wide-cabinet layouts.
• Sirius-compatible liner included so the shell ships with the metal liner already paired to accept a Sirius ventilation unit.
• Wall-mount position installs against the wall above the cooktop in the standard range-hood location.
• Ready-to-finish surface accepts stain, paint, or a custom finish applied on site to match the surrounding cabinetry.

Where This Hood Fits in the Kitchen

Red oak has a grain structure that absorbs stain differently than maple or alder, producing richer variation across the surface. In a kitchen built around red oak cabinets, that character is an asset: the hood reads as part of the same material run rather than a contrasting element. The Artisan Series pairs that wood choice with a traditional design language, making it a natural match for raised-panel doors, framed construction, and kitchens that lean toward a classic or transitional look rather than a spare, modern one.

At 36 inches wide and 46 inches tall, the shell occupies the range-hood position on the wall and provides enough visual mass to anchor the focal wall above a standard range. The depth of 19 inches positions it appropriately over most residential cooktop configurations.

The Shell, the Liner, and the Finishing Process

This product is the decorative wood enclosure, not the ventilation unit. It has no blower, no CFM rating, and no lighting of its own. What it ships with is the Sirius-compatible liner, which is the metal housing that accepts the Sirius ventilation unit ordered separately. That pairing keeps the component selection straightforward: the shell and liner are confirmed together, and the ventilator is selected to suit the cooktop and the room's ventilation requirements.

Because the shell arrives unfinished, the stain or paint is applied after installation. That step lets the finisher match the exact tone of the surrounding cabinets, whether the kitchen uses a clear coat that shows open red oak grain or a deeper pigmented stain that enriches the wood's natural color. Paint-grade finishing is also an option for kitchens where the hood is meant to contrast rather than match.

Who Orders This Shell

Cabinet shops finishing a red oak kitchen that needs the hood to tie into the door and face-frame species will find the unfinished surface the right starting point, since it lets the finisher apply the same stain batch used elsewhere in the job. Designers specifying a traditional or farmhouse-influenced kitchen use the Artisan Series when the brief calls for visible wood grain and handcrafted detailing rather than a painted or lacquered surface. Contractors sourcing for a renovation where the existing cabinetry is red oak can match the replacement hood to the surrounding material without having to refinish surrounding cabinets to meet a different species.
