A Maple Wood Hood Shell Built for a Custom Kitchen Finish

This Omega National Artisan Series wall-mount range hood is a 42-inch-wide decorative maple wood shell designed to anchor the cooking wall and accept a Sirius-compatible ventilation liner, included in the box. Because it ships unfinished, it can be stained or painted to match the surrounding cabinetry exactly.

Key Features

• 42-inch width and wall-mount design suit a wide cooktop run or a statement focal point above the range.
• Artisan Series maple construction brings a fine-grain wood texture that takes stain and paint predictably.
• Sirius-compatible liner included so the ventilator housing is ready for a matching Sirius ventilation unit.
• Ready-to-finish surface lets the shop or installer apply the final stain, paint, or clear coat after installation.
• Wall-mount position at 46 inches tall and 19 inches deep, providing a substantial presence on the wall above the cooking surface.

Where This Hood Fits the Project

A 42-inch decorative wood hood is the right choice when the cooktop is wide, the hood needs to read as part of the cabinetry run, and the finished look matters as much as the ventilation function. The Artisan Series profile suits transitional and traditional kitchens where the hood is a visual anchor rather than an appliance that recedes. Wall-mounting positions it between upper cabinets or as a standalone feature on a range wall, and the 42-inch width covers a standard 36-inch cooktop with design room to spare.

Maple, Unfinished, and Ready for the Shop

Maple is a close-grain hardwood that finishes cleanly in both paint-grade and stained applications. Because this shell arrives unfinished, the color and sheen are set at the shop or on-site rather than at the factory, which makes it practical for a custom color match to existing doors or a new finish specification. The included Sirius-compatible liner is the internal metal housing that supports the ventilation unit and protects the wood interior. The ventilator itself, the part that actually moves air, is a separate selection sized to the cooktop and the room.

Who Specifies This Shell

Cabinet shops building a custom kitchen around a wide range or cooktop use this shell to deliver a hood that finishes in the same color as the perimeter cabinetry. Designers specifying transitional or traditional kitchens choose it when the hood needs to function as a furniture piece rather than a stainless appliance. Contractors sourcing for a renovation where the paint or stain color is already decided will appreciate that the unfinished maple takes a finish coat without the sanding prep that a prefinished surface would require. The 42-inch format works across most wide residential cooktops and fits standard ceiling-height installations.
