Stove Gap Covers - 23.4", 316 Stainless Steel | Oven Side Gap Filler | Range Trim Kit | Guard Between Stove Top & Counter

I found these inserts to fit and the finish to match perfectly with the stainless steel portion of my range. The fixed length means that I have a 1” gap on the back side of the counter, but this is preferable to having to cut the piece to length.My only complaint is the packaging. They go to great length describing how this is a frequently returned product and need to repackage it as you receive it if returning. Then they use so much tape in packaging that it would be impossible to restore the packaging if needed for a return.

These were perfect for the very narrow space we had between our stove and counter.

Easy to install and clean. Also easy to remove. Great idea. Wish I had known about these years ago!

Follow the manufacturers instructions to verify if these gap covers will fit before you purchase, and if your situation meets the criteria, you will get a beautiful fit with this product. It's durable, smooth, polished looking and easy to get in and out. Couldn't be more pleased.

Our new range replaced an older drop-in style, so our stone countertop had to be cut (in place) to the required width, plus a little for clearance. The cuts ended up not very straight, so we needed to improve the appearance as well as prevent normal food particles from routinely falling into the varying width gaps. We also wanted to have whatever we selected extend from the front of our backsplash to the front of the countertop surface (stopping at the beginning of the countertop's radiused profile to avoid any overhang). This length is 24.4" in our situation. Sadly, the seller offered only two lengths - one is an inch too short at 23.4", so we ordered the longer 25.4" length, intending to cut it to fit. The product arrived quickly and was well packaged, no defects. I was concerned that a hacksaw or metal cutting jigsaw blade might cause issues, so instead I used Dremel cut off discs in a rotary tool (with great care to avoid having the cut off wheel skip or otherwise scratch the surfaces, especially those that end up exposed). 316 stainless metal is tough, and each side wore out a full cut-off disc, but the result was successful with no scratches, nor any bending or deformation of the cut ends. Unfortunately, that is not something everyone will be able to do, either due to lack of appropriate tools, or lack of applicable skills. Soliciting such work from a handyman would make the cost even higher than it already is, but other than DIY that would seem to be the only other way to get a custom length. The other choice would be to just live with the shorter "regular" length. In retrospect that shorter length would probably have looked fine, but we took the road less travelled, and the custom length approach is what I'm reviewing.I smoothed the cut edges with a reasonable quality but otherwise ordinary flat mill file. That is, I did not find a diamond file necessary (which I read that another reviewer taking the DIY approach used). I'm not against diamond files, just saying a regular file can be used to match the rounded edges touted by the seller, if that's all you have. And I must add that the seller's "touting" of this particular feature is justified, as all edges were really well deburred and smooth as received. This feature was duplicated on the cuts, and once installed the final appearance was quite nice. Pictures attached.Final score: 4 stars for the quality and expected durability of the material used (316 stainless) together with the quality of the delivered product. It might have been 5 stars, but one star was deducted for 3 reasons: (1) DIY work is required to create a custom length (with the right tools and skills this should not take much time, say 15 minutes up to 3/4 hour); (2) this design does nothing for the gap at the front edge of the countertop, although that is relatively minor, in our opinion. Fully solving it would be very complicated, given the great variety of countertop materials and edge profiles that exist; and (3) as others have noted, the cost seems a bit high. While the cost is mitigated by the high quality of the finished surfaces and deburring, it does make the final result just a bit less than "perfect".The side of this gap filler ended up quite close but not always perfectly flush against our new range. A thin knife can still slip between the range and gap filler in spots. However, I did not take anything off due to that because it is not caused by the seller's product; the sides of the gap fillers we received are perfectly flat (other than the projections of the "springs"). Rather, the problem is caused by the sides of the range itself not being completely flat, something which is not under the control of the seller. Only a flexible gap filler constructed using silicone or a similar material might have a chance of sealing better, while still maintaining range maintenance access. We prefer the appearance of these stainless fillers over any of the silicone-based gap fillers that we found. These are not overly wide, look great, and can be easily removed for cleaning if we do spill something, or if food crumbs accumulate there, or if (or rather, when) the range needs to be slid out for service.Definitely happy with this product - it does a good job of covering imperfections in range to countertop gaps, results in a very high-quality finished look, and if desired the fit can even be customized provided appropriate DIY tools and skills are available.

These work as described and give an updated and clean look to my stove. I had debated what finish to get; I have a lot of stainless steel in my kitchen. But another reviewer talked about the gap cover seamlessly looking like just part of the stove. So I got black and I’m very happy that I did. They were a snap to put in and look sturdy and well made. Packaging was great including good quality rubber strips that kept them from scratching against each other. I’ve already reused the rubber strips as chair levelers on my patio - Bonus!

Love this product! It has saved so much food from going in between the counter and the stove.It’s well made and looks nice, easy to clean and durable.

Other brands fit just fine, but are either very flat matte or super shiny. These are semi-gloss and match a smooth top range.
