A 42-Inch Maple Euro Hood Shell for a Clean, Built-In Wall Installation

This Omega National Euro wood range hood is a 42-inch-wide decorative shell in maple, designed to mount against the wall above a cooktop and accept a compatible Broan ventilation insert. The liner is included. The shell is supplied unfinished so it can be stained or painted to coordinate with the surrounding cabinetry.

Key Features

• 42-inch width suits wider cooktop runs and ranges that need proportional hood coverage.
• Maple species takes stain evenly and finishes cleanly to match or complement most cabinet wood choices.
• Euro Wood series design offers a clean, contemporary profile suited to transitional and modern kitchens.
• Ready-to-finish construction allows the installer or finisher to apply stain, paint, or a clear coat after installation.
• Broan-compatible liner included so the ventilation hardware pairing is already accounted for.
• Wall-mount configuration at 40-5/16 inches tall and 19 inches deep, built for standard wall-hood positioning above the range.

Where a 42-Inch Shell Earns Its Place

A 36-inch hood can feel undersized above a 36-inch range once the surround cabinetry goes in. At 42 inches wide, this shell provides visual balance across a wider cooktop or range, particularly in kitchens where the run of upper cabinets benefits from a hood that commands the wall. The Euro profile keeps the lines clean and uncluttered, making it a natural fit for transitional kitchens that want warmth from the wood without heavy ornamental detail. At 19 inches deep, it projects enough to cover the cooking surface without encroaching on the workspace below.

Maple, Unfinished, and Ready for the Finish Room

Maple is a close-grained hardwood that accepts paint and stain consistently, which makes it a practical choice when the goal is a precise color or species match to the surrounding cabinets. Because this shell ships unfinished, the finishing work happens on-site or in the shop after the hood body is in place, letting the finish coat tie the hood into the rest of the kitchen rather than standing apart from it. The 40-5/16-inch height gives the hood presence on the wall without requiring unusual ceiling clearance for a standard installation.

For Cabinet Shops, Designers, and Renovation Contractors

This shell fits the workflow of a cabinet shop or contractor who is specifying the decorative woodwork and the ventilation hardware as separate line items. The liner is already included and paired for Broan compatibility, so the ventilation unit selection starts from a known fit rather than a search for a compatible liner after the fact. Designers specifying a transitional kitchen with painted or stained maple cabinets can match the hood species and finish in the same finishing sequence as the rest of the box work. Homeowners renovating with a wide professional-style range will find a 42-inch shell better proportioned than a narrower option where the hood would appear to recede into the wall.
