Unfinished Maple Hood Shell for a Custom Built-In Kitchen Look

This Omega National Signature Straight range hood is a 36-inch-wide decorative maple wood shell designed for wall-mount installation. It arrives ready to finish so the stain or paint matches the surrounding cabinetry, and the Broan-compatible liner ships included so the shell and mechanical hardware coordinate from the start.

Key Features

• Solid maple construction in the Signature Straight style brings a clean, traditional profile to the cooktop wall.
• 36 inches wide, 22-7/8 inches tall, and 19 inches deep to fit a standard wall-mount hood position above a 36-inch range or cooktop.
• Ready-to-finish maple accepts stain or paint so the hood can be matched to the kitchen's cabinets or custom finish system.
• Wall-mount design installs directly against the wall above the cooking surface, with no adjacent cabinets required.
• Broan-compatible liner included to house a compatible Broan ventilation insert, ordered separately.

Where This Shell Fits the Job

The Signature Straight is a wall-mount hood shell, meaning it hangs above the range on the wall rather than attaching into surrounding upper cabinets. That makes it the right choice when the cooktop wall has open space on either side, or when the design calls for the hood to read as a standalone focal point rather than a built-in mantel arrangement. The straight profile keeps the lines simple, pairing well with shaker-door kitchens, transitional designs, and any layout where a clean rectangular silhouette fits the room.

At 36 inches wide, this shell is sized to cover a standard 36-inch range or cooktop. The 19-inch depth and 22-7/8-inch height give it the presence needed to anchor the cooking wall without overwhelming the space.

Maple, Unfinished, and Ready for the Shop

Maple is a close-grained hardwood that takes stain evenly and holds paint well, which is why it is a common choice for kitchens where the hood needs to match a painted or stained cabinet finish exactly. Because this shell ships unfinished, the finish goes on in the shop or on site, giving the installer full control over the color and sheen. That flexibility is one of the reasons ready-to-finish maple shells are a common specification in custom and semi-custom cabinet projects: the hood can be finished alongside the doors and drawer fronts so the whole kitchen matches.

The liner included with this SKU is Broan-compatible and provides the interior metal housing. It accepts a compatible Broan ventilation insert, which is selected separately to suit the cooktop output and the kitchen's duct or ductless configuration.

Who Specifies This Hood

Cabinet shops finishing an entire kitchen package often include the hood shell in the same finishing run as the doors, pulling everything to a single color in one pass. Designers specifying a transitional or traditional kitchen will find the Signature Straight's clean geometry adaptable across a wide range of door styles. Contractors installing on a jobsite can mount the shell and liner, then coordinate the ventilation insert separately. Homeowners replacing an aging or mismatched hood with something that reads as cabinetry will find this shell lets the hood disappear into the kitchen rather than standing out as an appliance.
