The Forte Wall Custom Hood is all about timeless elegance with a contemporary edge. Available in 36” and 48” widths, Forte is designed to complement classic and transitional kitchen styles while providing exceptional ventilation.

To create a cohesive and polished look, Forte also offers 12” or 18” duct covers with matching stainless steel banding for a seamless finish. What makes the Forte even more versatile is the ability to use the duct covers with any ceiling height by stacking as many as your ceiling requires. Whether your kitchen showcases shaker-style cabinetry, modern farmhouse touches, or bold accents, Forte integrates effortlessly while complementing hardware, lighting fixtures, and appliances.
