A 36-Inch Paint Grade Hood Shell Ready for Any Color

This Omega National Artisan Series wall mount range hood is a decorative wood shell, 36 inches wide, finished in paint grade and supplied with a Broan compatible liner. It is built for kitchens where the hood color needs to match cabinetry, a custom accent wall, or a specific paint specification that no stocked finish can meet.

Key Features

• Paint grade wood construction accepts primer and paint so the hood can be finished to match any kitchen palette.
• Artisan Series design brings a traditional, detailed profile suited to transitional and classic kitchen styles.
• 36 inches wide by 46 inches tall by 19 inches deep, sized for a standard range or cooktop position on the wall.
• Wall mount position installs against the wall above the cooking surface.
• Broan compatible liner included so the ventilation hardware connection is ready for the next step.
• Not prefinished, leaving all finishing decisions to the installer or finisher after delivery.

Where a Paintable Shell Earns Its Keep

A stained wood hood matches cabinetry in species and tone, but it cannot match a painted kitchen exactly unless the hood is painted too. This shell is built for that scenario. Because it ships unfinished in paint grade wood, the surface can be primed and painted to the same specification as the surrounding cabinets, a kitchen island, or a trim color called out in a design package. The result reads as a single continuous piece of millwork rather than a hood dropped into a painted kitchen. At 36 inches wide, it covers a standard range opening and carries the visual height of a 46-inch tall hood body up toward the ceiling line.

Construction and Finish Preparation

Paint grade wood is prepared for paint, not stain. The surface is smooth and consistent, selected and milled to take primer and topcoat cleanly without the grain variation that characterizes a stain-grade panel. This is the right choice when the design calls for a specific paint color and a uniform, grain-free look. The shell arrives unfinished, so the finishing step happens on the job site or in a finishing shop after delivery, allowing the painter to match the hood to the installed cabinetry in a single pass.

Who Specifies This Hood and Why

Kitchen designers working on painted or two-tone kitchens reach for this shell when the hood needs to disappear into the wall of cabinetry rather than stand out as a separate material. Custom cabinet shops use it when a client's paint color is not available in any stocked finish. Contractors on high-specification residential projects specify it when the hood is part of a larger painted millwork package and consistency of finish across the wall is the goal. The 19-inch depth works within the standard wall cabinet footprint, and the wall mount position suits any kitchen where the hood backs to a wall rather than hanging from a ceiling.
