48-Inch Maple Hood Shell for a Wide Cooktop Wall

This Omega National Signature Straight range hood is a 48-inch decorative maple wood shell designed for wall-mount installation above a wide cooktop or range. It is a wood enclosure, not a ventilation unit, and ships with a Broan-compatible liner included so the installation can be completed with the ventilator of your choice.

Key Features

• 48-inch width suits wider cooktops and broad kitchen wall runs where a standard 30 or 36-inch hood would leave gaps.
• Solid maple construction in the Signature Straight series delivers a clean, linear profile that suits transitional and contemporary kitchens.
• Broan-compatible liner included so a matching ventilator can be seated without sourcing a separate liner.
• Ready-to-finish wood shell accepts stain or paint after delivery so the finished color coordinates with surrounding cabinetry.
• Wall-mount position at 22-7/8 inches tall and 19 inches deep, sized for standard over-range clearances.

Where the 48-Inch Width Earns Its Keep

A 48-inch hood shell is the right call when the cooktop is 36 inches or wider, when the kitchen layout calls for a hood that commands the wall rather than sitting modestly above a single burner run, or when a designer wants the hood mass to balance a wide island or extended upper cabinet run opposite. At this width, the Signature Straight profile reads as a prominent architectural feature rather than an afterthought, and the straight valance and clean lines keep it from competing with detailed cabinet door profiles.

Maple, Ready to Finish

Maple is a consistent-grained, smooth-surfaced hardwood that takes paint evenly and holds stain predictably, making it a practical species choice when the hood needs to match a painted or stained cabinet finish rather than stand apart as a natural wood feature. This shell arrives unfinished so the finish shop or installer controls the final color and sheen, matching it to the cabinet doors or a painted wall color on the same project. The Signature Straight design keeps the surface geometry simple, which means fewer grain or profile transitions to manage when painting.

Designed for Cabinetmakers and Kitchen Installers

This shell fits a professional workflow: the liner arrives with the hood, the wood is prepped for finishing, and the form is straightforward enough to paint or stain alongside the cabinet run in the same finish session. Cabinet shops building custom kitchens, designers specifying wide-wall hood treatments, and contractors installing over a 36-inch or larger range will find this shell sized and prepared to move the project forward without extra sourcing steps. The ventilator is chosen and ordered separately to match the cooktop output and duct configuration of the specific job.
