LaCanche Back Spacer or 'Equivalent' HELP!???

19 years ago

My beautiful Cluny 1400 arrived today and as the contractor was putting it together I stopped him before he got to the back vent that is supplied with the stove.

I had thought it was flush with the counter height, not raised up. I guess what I wanted was the "equivalent" piece. Where do you get one? Or do I have the stainless fabricator make it with the counters?

    Sounds like you want the "island trim" which Art Culinaire sells separately. They should be able to help you out.

    Do we get some pictures?:)

    LOL Klb it's an empty room, so the pics are just of the range...note the clearance here :) The edges scraped both sides of the wall, but since I'm plastering there it won't matter.

    This is the boys talking about "How the hell they were going to get the danged range up the stairs and down the hall to the kitchen without killing themselfs" (their primary concern was dropping the range, killing themselfs was secondary I was told heh heh)
    {{gwi:1457169}}

    And the rest will have to wait for a kitchen to show off (or even look at). Right now the ONLY thing in the kitchen is the range, sitting in the bay window waiting for cabinets to be installed (as well as 200 other things that have to be done in there). So a few more weeks to go before fun pics!

    I can't wait to see them carry the subzero up the stairs LOL

    Thanks for the info on the island. Lacanche took a long lunch today and no one was around to answer my call so I didn't realize I could use that piece, I just knew I didn't want the high piece due to the backsplash going in behind the range:

    I think it would cut the poor chicken's legs off LOL

    We have the piece being fedexed today. I guess I totally missed it when ordering :( And I was a bit confused on the web site (it says it must be used for islands). I was ready to call the stainless steel guy to make me one heh heh Glad I was saved that expense.

    Yes Igloo, what you want is the "island spacer" that gives you the full backsplash look. It's an added expense, I want to say around $100 and AC will get it to you.

    Of course I love the range. Who wouldn't? But the backsplash is to die for! Can't wait to see the pix of your finished kitchen.

    This is all part of my evil plan to make chickens popular again Martha LOL You should see the rooster chandelier for the dining room :o)

    I'm framing that marble mosaic backsplash in antiqued black granite (to get it to the same size as the hood). I certainly didn't want the piece broken up with a piece of steel.

    That will teach me to read better when I am ordering things. I really did think the spacer was the flat piece, (for islands) but fortunately AC is rushing one right out :)

    Can't wait to see pics of it up and running i-chic! How exciting that she finally made it there. How's her fur bikini? lol!

    ahhh, I had forgotten how great that mosaic is. It is truly eggscellent! Sue

    LOVE LOVE LOVE the mosaic, Igloochic!! I've got roosters galore in my current kitchen to-be-sold and I don't think I resist doing it again in my new fabulous kitchen-to-be!! Where does one go to find such eggscellent mosaics (to steal Sue's great pun!)

  • 19 years ago

    Anyone know a great place to look for mosaics? I'm not sure yet what I want on my backsplash and I'd like to research this avenue. Thanks!

    mo sgal, I read about maestromosaics on a GW forum once, you may want to try it out . . . I think the website is something like:
    www.mglasstile.com
    Oh, and we are to take delivery of our Cluny next month--we have two really steep driveways leading up to our house. Any idea how to deal with the delivery of the range? No crazy stairs like in Alaska : ), and we're only twenty minutes away from the warehouse. Is a substantial tip to the drivers adequate? Thanks!

    Thanks, eastsider! I look forward to seeing photos of your lovely Cluny installed!
