Paint Grade Wood Hood Shell Built for a Custom Finish

This Omega National 36-inch waterfall wall mount range hood is a decorative wood shell supplied paint grade and ready for a custom color to match the kitchen. The Broan-compatible liner is included so the shell and liner arrive together, ready to accept a compatible ventilation unit.

Key Features

• Paint grade wood construction accepts primer and paint for a seamless match to any kitchen color scheme.
• Waterfall hood style delivers a tapered, contemporary silhouette above the cooktop.
• 36-inch width suits a standard 36-inch range or cooktop installation.
• Wall mount design mounts to the wall above the range in a standard wall-hood position.
• Broan-compatible liner included so the ventilation unit can be fitted without sourcing the liner separately.
• Not prefinished, giving the installer full control over the final paint color and sheen.

Where Paint Grade Makes the Difference

A paint grade hood shell is the right call when the kitchen is designed around painted cabinetry. Rather than matching a stained wood species, the hood becomes part of the painted envelope: prime it, paint it in the cabinet color, and the finished result looks like a continuous, built-in element rather than a separate appliance enclosure. The waterfall silhouette supports that integration with its clean, tapered form that reads as contemporary cabinetry rather than a conventional vent hood shape.

At 36 inches wide and 42 inches tall, the shell has the presence to anchor the cooking wall in kitchens with standard ceiling heights. The 19-3/4-inch depth keeps the footprint practical without crowding the space above the range.

Shell, Liner, and Ventilation: How the Parts Work Together

This product is the decorative wood enclosure. It does not move air on its own. The included Broan-compatible liner fits inside the shell and provides the housing for the ventilation unit, which is selected separately to match the cooktop output and the room's duct configuration. Because the liner ships with the shell, the two primary structural pieces of the hood assembly arrive together, and the ventilation selection is the remaining variable. Match the ventilator to the cooktop BTU and the ducting path before ordering.

Who This Hood Shell Is For

This shell suits designers and cabinet shops building painted kitchens where the hood needs to disappear into the painted cabinetry rather than stand out as a wood-species accent. It also works well for homeowners who want the look of a custom built-in hood without commissioning a fully custom enclosure. Because it arrives unfinished, a skilled finish carpenter or painter applies the final coat on site, which keeps the paint color and sheen in exact alignment with the surrounding cabinets. For kitchens where stain and natural wood grain are the priority, an Omega National shell in a specific wood species is the better starting point.
