Modern Aire’s range hood inserts/liners are designed for custom canopies and built with the same high-quality features as its exposed hoods.
A range hood liner, also called a range hood insert, is the ventilation unit that installs inside a custom-built wood, wall or island range hood enclosure. Modern Aire Ventilating manufactures range hood liners in standard and custom sizes, compatible with internal, external, and inline blower systems, providing 400–2,400 CFM of kitchen ventilation. Our liners are used by cabinet makers, millworkers, and custom home builders across the United States and Canada.
Modern Aire liners fit inside custom hood enclosures, allowing cabinet makers to build the visible surround while the liner handles airflow, filtering, lighting, and motor support.
Standard widths and depths give cabinet makers a reliable starting point for planning openings, clearances, and enclosure dimensions.
Choose the blower configuration that suits your installation - internal blower stays in the liner; external or inline blowers mount remotely for quieter operation.
400–2,400 CFM options available - match the liner to your client's cooking needs.
Dishwasher-safe stainless steel baffles capture 97% of grease before it enters the ductwork.
Liners include integrated lighting for task illumination inside the hood enclosure.

A range hood liner is installed inside a custom hood enclosure, allowing the cabinet maker or designer to create the finished exterior while the liner provides the ventilation system.
Cabinet maker or millworker constructs the decorative range hood enclosure from wood, MDF, or other materials to the desired exterior design.
The Modern Aire liner is sized to fit inside the enclosure opening. It is inserted and secured in place.
The liner's motor (internal, external, or inline) is connected to the kitchen ductwork for exterior ventilation. For recirculating installs, charcoal filters are used instead of exterior ducting.
The cabinet maker applies the final exterior finish to the enclosure - paint, stain, or custom millwork detail, creating a seamless range hood.
We offer different liner options, including professional liners, mesh liners, and box-style liners. Start by choosing the liner family that best fits your enclosure design, filter preference, and ventilation needs.
Select a liner size that supports your cooking surface and fits within your planned hood enclosure. The liner should be sized for both proper ventilation performance and cabinet compatibility.
Once you have selected your model and size, contact a local Modern Aire dealer to confirm the order details. Your dealer can help verify product availability, model fit, pricing, and next steps.
Before placing the order, confirm that the liner, blower configuration, ducting plan, and installation application all work together. This includes choosing whether your project needs an internal, inline, or external blower.
Once the liner model, size, blower configuration, and specifications are confirmed, your dealer can help finalize and place the order.
For custom liner projects, start by contacting a Modern Aire dealer or representative. This gives us the opportunity to review your application before cabinetry is finalized.
Share your cabinet drawings, enclosure plans, cooking surface size, desired liner opening, ceiling height, ducting direction, and any relevant design details. These details help us understand how the liner needs to fit within your custom enclosure.
Once your project details are submitted, you can review the quote and drawing or specification package. This allows you, your designer, cabinet maker, contractor, or homeowner to confirm that the liner fits the intended enclosure before moving forward.
Before final approval, coordinate the liner details with your contractor, installer, and cabinet maker. This includes confirming the cabinet opening, duct route, electrical access, control access, and filter removal clearance.
Once all details have been reviewed and approved, your order can be finalized through your Modern Aire dealer or representative.
The liner provides the functional core of the hood, including the airflow, motor compatibility, filters, lighting, and specification support.
A range hood liner is the ventilation component installed inside a custom canopy to provide filtration, lighting, and airflow. It is commonly used when the visible hood exterior is custom made from wood, metal, or another decorative material.
The terms are often used interchangeably, but both refer to a built-in ventilation solution used inside a custom hood enclosure. The key is choosing the correct width, depth, and blower compatibility for the project. Contact us to select the right range hood insert.
Yes. Liners can support both wall mount and island canopy designs, depending on the product specifications and the blower setup you choose.
That depends on cooking intensity, duct layout, sound goals, and canopy size. Internal, inline, and external blower configurations can all be suitable depending on the installation.
We offer the Professional Series Liner, the Pro Mesh Series Liner, and box liner options for custom canopy projects. These liner styles are designed to bring the same ventilation performance and quality found in the company’s exposed hoods into a built-in application.
