Omega National 36"W Alder Verona Wall Mount Range Hood

An Alder Wood Hood Shell Built for a Custom Kitchen Finish

The Omega National Verona is a 36-inch-wide wall-mount range hood shell in alder, supplied unfinished and ready to receive stain or paint alongside the surrounding cabinetry. A Broan-compatible liner is included.

Key Features

• Alder wood construction in the Verona series offers a consistent, fine grain that accepts stain and paint evenly.
• 36 inches wide by 36 inches tall with a 19-inch depth for a substantial presence above the range.
• Ready-to-finish surface lets the hood be stained or painted to coordinate with the rest of the kitchen.
• Wall-mount design installs directly against the wall above the cooking surface.
• Broan-compatible liner included to accept a compatible Broan ventilation insert, selected separately.

Where This Hood Shell Fits the Project

Kitchen designs that call for a wood hood to blend with painted or stained cabinetry need a shell that can be finished on-site to an exact match. Alder is a practical species choice for that application: its grain is tight and uniform, it accepts stain cleanly without heavy blotching, and it takes paint without the prep demands of open-grained species like red oak. The Verona's wall-mount configuration positions it above the range against a wall run, making it well suited to galley kitchens, single-wall cooking stations, and designs where the hood anchors the focal point of the back wall.

This is the decorative enclosure. It does not move air on its own. The included Broan-compatible liner is the bridge that accepts a Broan ventilation insert, which is ordered separately based on the cooktop output and the room's ventilation requirements.

Alder, Unfinished, and Ready for the Finishing Room

Alder is one of the more forgiving hardwoods to finish. Its density sits between soft maple and cherry, so it machines cleanly and holds a sharp profile. The Verona shell arrives unfinished, which means the finishing stage happens after delivery, either in the cabinet shop before installation or on-site. That sequence keeps the hood's color and sheen consistent with the door and drawer fronts it will live alongside, rather than trying to match a factory-applied finish to a field-applied one.

The 36-by-36-inch footprint and 19-inch depth give the Verona a substantial visual weight that reads as a focal point rather than an afterthought. At that scale, the species and the finish do the design work.

Who Orders This and When

Cabinet shops finishing an alder kitchen reach for this shell when the client wants the hood to feel like part of the cabinetry run rather than a separate appliance. Designers spec it when the finish plan calls for a custom stain or paint that a factory finish cannot match. Contractors sourcing for a high-end residential install find it straightforward: the liner is included, the ventilation insert is specified to the cooktop, and the shell goes to the finisher along with the doors.

The Verona in alder also fits renovation projects where an existing alder kitchen is getting a range upgrade and the old hood no longer fits the new layout or scale.
