A trim piece is usually provided by the manufacturer (at additional cost) or you can have a metal fabrication place create one to attach to the wall. If you are also getting new counters, that space is usually done as a separate piece of stone and glued in place.

Yes i am getting new counters done. So if i let the contractor know before hand about getting a slide in rangestove, he should be able to take care of it right?
Can somebody share some pictures with what they did.

Yes, your stone fabricator will need the specs of all of the appliances that he will need to deal with as well as the template of the new sink that you will be using. Print off the specs and give them to him, with a copy retained for yourself that he has signed. Same with the sink template. Same with the template of your counters on the granite slab itself.

Here's a quick pic I found on the web that shows how the stone goes behind the range. The expensive way to do it is to do the counter all in one piece and cut the range cutout out. The inexpensive way to do it is to do a separate piece with a seam on either side of the range.

Aynb, I don't have pictures to share with you, but I have a suggestion. If you download the installation manual of a few slide-in ranges, you will see schematic diagrams of how it should be done. (I.e., the way GD described.) And, yes, your contractor will know how to handle it, in general, although he or she will (or should, anyway) want to see the installation manual of the range you chose.

Thank you for the suggestions and the photos. For details we are planning to go for Quartz countertop and slide in. Is the combination good or granite is better?
i am also thinking if slide in is worth the hassle or should we go with freestanding one?

I have the somewhat maligned E'lux slide in with quartz, however I did plan for the weirdly specific install (1" filler between range opening and door/drawer clearance). I don't think it makes much difference going with granite or quartz... it's just a matter of what colour/style you prefer.

Remember if you are not changing your cabinets, you might have a gap to fill between the side cabinets and the side of the range. This picture of my before kitchen illustrates this to an extreme!

I too had a "bridge" filler piece made for behind my range. I've attached a close up picture to show the seam between it and my perimeter counter (it's there, I swear!).

I do like my stove, BTW... reviewed it in appliances forum.

this is exactly what i was looking for Co-co. thanks a ton. btw, how's the experience with quartz and slide in range in regards to cleaning and maintenance?

CoCo, is it about 3" behind the range? How far out does the handle stick out? We really liked the look of your range but we concerned about the depth.
