Omega National 42"W Hickory Signature Straight Wall Mount Range Hood, Broan Compatible Liner Included - R2142SMB1HUF1

Hickory Hood Shell for a Natural Wood Kitchen

This Omega National Signature Straight range hood is a decorative hickory wood shell, 42 inches wide, that mounts to the wall above the cooktop and frames the ventilation space with the same character wood kitchens are built around. A Broan-compatible liner is included.

Key Features

• Hickory wood construction brings a natural, pronounced grain character that suits rustic, farmhouse, and transitional kitchens.
• 42-inch width sized to cover wider residential cooking surfaces and standard 36- to 42-inch ranges.
• Signature Straight style keeps the profile clean and rectangular for a hood that reads as cabinetry, not an appliance.
• Wall-mount design installs directly against the wall above the range without cabinet support on the sides.
• Broan-compatible liner included so the ventilator connection is ready without a separate liner purchase.
• Ready-to-finish so the shell can be stained or painted to match the surrounding cabinetry after installation.

Where This Shell Fits in the Kitchen

The Signature Straight is a straightforward, rectangular hood profile that suits kitchens where the design calls for clean lines and the hood should look like it belongs with the cabinets rather than standing apart as an exhaust appliance. At 42 inches wide, it covers the wider cooking positions found in open kitchens and larger residential ranges. Because it is the decorative shell, it does not move air on its own. A ventilation insert is sized and selected for the cooktop, and it mounts into the included liner. The hood shell frames all of it.

Hickory, Unfinished and Ready for the Jobsite

Hickory is one of the harder domestic species, and its grain is expressive, with wide variation in tone and character from light to dark across each board. That variation is part of what makes a hickory kitchen look built rather than bought. This shell arrives ready-to-finish, meaning no pre-applied stain or topcoat is applied at the factory. The finisher can stain, glaze, or paint it to match the surrounding cabinetry. For kitchens with a natural or lightly stained hickory cabinet run, the shell can be treated to follow the same batch. For painted kitchens, paint-grade finishing is also an option. The shell is 22-7/8 inches tall and 19 inches deep, dimensions that suit standard ceiling heights and wall depths in residential kitchens.

Who Specifies This Hood and Why

Cabinet shops finishing a full hickory kitchen are the natural buyer here. The shell lets the designer extend the wood species all the way up the wall without switching to a stainless or painted steel appliance that breaks the material language. Contractors installing in a kitchen where the hood is the last piece of a custom wood package will find the included liner reduces the parts count by one line item. Homeowners specifying their own renovation who already have a Broan ventilator selected can match the shell to the cooktop width and finish it alongside the cabinets. This is an indoor, residential application. For commercial installations or high-BTU cooking environments, confirm that the selected ventilation insert meets the airflow requirement before ordering the shell.
