Even in the most beautifully fitted kitchens there tends to be a space - a gap if you like - where the top of the cooker meets the work-surfaces. And this gap acts like a black hole for crumbs, food scraps and spills, drawing them down to moulder, fester and attract germs.

Fortunately, it's a problem with a quick and easy solution. Called Gap Cover, it's a flexible PVC strip with a full-length T underside, so it fits snugly into the gap, effectively sealing it closed.

Easy to fit and just as simple to remove for cleaning (you can even pop it in the dishwasher), Gap Cover won't mark either cooker or worktop, and is heat-resistant to 280°C. And if the counter is a bit higher than the stove, you can still use these gap covers.

Useful for other gaps too, like between the washer and dryer. In two lengths, choose: Medium – 21.3" and Large: 25.2"
