Viking Range side and rear trim ? HELP!
Comments (3)Don't know about your stove, but when I looked briefly at the Viking induction range last summer, I think the side pieces and rear piece were simply covering the gap between the stove and the surrounding countertop. IIRC, the stock "island trim" is actually only a short riser for the oven vent. (It keeps the oven venting from blowing directly onto burners and also raises the vent up just enough to reduce the likelihood that stuff may roll off the stovetop into oven vent.) My recollection is that the island trim piece did not have a lip to cover the gap at the back of the stove where it meets an island's countertop. I had the impression that the P30CRT was simply a lip that somehow clipped or stuck on to the back of the island trim. The whole idea is that the lips will cover the gap and keep stuff from falling down between the counter and stove. Also, with the lip, your countertops do not have to be very tight against the stove, and that makes it muucchh easier to get in and out. Most 30" stoves are actually more like 29 7/8" wide and cutouts are usually specified and cut to 30 1/8" just so you can move a stove in and out when needed. It was hard to figure out whatthe back piece did because there did not seem to be any pictures of the rear trim piece, or at least I couldn't find any when I looked last summer. I'm guessing that has not changed. Maybe somebody who actually has one can chime in. This post was edited by JWVideo on Mon, Jan 28, 13 at 22:20...See MoreQuestion: Fireproof wall behind Blue Star??
Comments (7)fenworth has got it right, backer board behind the range as required by the spec's and to the extent you feel necessary. The 1/2 inch blends with sheetrock so you can get an even transition and not have to use backer board for the whole backsplash. Technically, if you do sheetrock covered with tile/stone/SS, above the range, you should be fine as well. The technical requirement is the 6 inches below and immediately behind the range. I set my Bluestar (island trim) 3 1/2 inches off the wall but still used the backerboard on the framing that holds the range off the wall and the granite counter strip behind the range. Above the range is a base layer of sheetrock covered with travertine, which is just fine. My motivation to move the range out was to get the full use of the back burners for big pots. I saw it in a lot of design magazines several years ago but you don't see it showcased quite as often anymore. All I can say is that it has worked marvelously and I am forever glad I did it. In addition, the 3 1/2 inch space in back makes a great decorative/functional shelf for often used spices oils and utinsels. At each end of the range there are 3 1/2 inch reeded posts to account for the kick out. The range sits even with the posts and the granite is cut to "flare" out over the posts and to the extended range top. It looks good, uses minimal space and is VERY functional....See MoreWhat to use behind BS range-non combustible and heat resistant?
Comments (15)Here are some products that give more protection in high heat situations. This was in regard to wood stove hearth and wall protection. Sweepy Sweep's Library: R Values of common hearth materials Q: My new woodstove's installation manual calls for a non-combustible hearth (floor protection) extending so many inches beyond the rear and sides of the stove and in front of the loading door. This much I understand. The manual also states this floor protection must have an "R" value of at least 0.800. This part I don't understand: what is an R value, and how do I ensure that my hearth material meets the minimum requirement? Sweepy R-value is a measurement of the insulating properties of a given material at a given thickness. Here's a chart showning the R-values of several common hearth materials: Material Thickness R-Value Ceramic Board ( Micore 160 ) 1/2" 1.270 Ceramic Board ( Rescor 360 ) 1/2" 1.110 Ceramic Board ( Fiberfrax Duraboard LD ) 1/2" 1.100 Ceramic Board ( Micore 300 ) 1/2" 1.030 Common Brick 4" 0.800 Common Brick 2-1/4" 0.450 Gypsum or Plaster Board 1/2" 0.450 Cement Board ( Wonderboard ) 1/2" 0.200 Cement Board ( Durock ) 1/2" 0.200 Cement Board ( Hardibacker 500 ) .42" 0.200 Cement Board ( Hardibacker ) 1/4" 0.130 Limestone 1" 0.153 Cement Mortar 1/2" 0.100 Slate 1" 0.100 Concrete 1" 0.095 Marble 1" 0.090 Granite 1" 0.083 Ceramic Pavers 1" 0.080 Flagstone 1" 0.079 Sandstone 1" 0.079 Ceramic Tile 1/4" 0.020 Sweepy As the chart shows, you can achieve the required R-value of 0.800 with 1/2" of Fibrefrax or Micore, 8-1/2" of poured concrete, or one layer of 4" brick. You can also meet your requirement by stacking layers of the materials listed: ie, 4 layers (2") of 1/2" Durorock would give you the 0.800 R-value you require....See MoreFill gap behind gas range & quartz backsplash scorch issue HELP please
Comments (20)Yes, @Fori, that's what I said to my husband about the molding there--he's a bit of a perfectionist!! I was like, you don't need that there! But he can be a little obsessive about some things! I will pull out the range later and look at the space for that pipe. In figure 3 it looks more centered than to the right where we have it. We'll have to see what we can do about it. Better yet, I will just pull it all out and redesign it. No worries. Lots of time during COVID. Thank you for letting me know @JuneKnow. Although, it's such a little space, not much can be redesigned as there are only the two walls! Better yet @User, I can just leave the backsplash until it scorches too--then pull it all down and put up something else. No different than pulling it down now. Same money and time. :)...See MoreNancy
