You should have had your 4" counter backsplash run continuous across. Who designed this?

Oh My! Oops.
Get in touch with your counter top person. They can fabricate the additional stone for behind your stove.
I can see why they didn't put it originally. It fights with the piece above.

The easiest solution is to raise the stove. There are DIY ways to do it, like build a large frame on the bottom and sit the stove on top, or it is something very easy for a handy man to do.

I'm in the wood floor biz... so I know nothing.
But I believe llilliegoggiespad is, perhaps, referring to the gap on the side being a "catch-all"

If you can't get a granite backsplash installed then get a piece made out of stainless steel and get it installed in the gap between the stove and the back tiled wall. If you are talking about the right and the left side of the stove then how big is this gap.

lilleigogglespad: I'm not a professional, but the gap doesn't look particularly large to me--just a bit more than what we have, though you can't really see ours because both the stove and the counters are dark. I hope one of the professionals on Houzz who specializes in countertops can weigh in on whether your gap is within the normal range or not.

I agree the gap at the sides looks normal. We are just installing a new range and it specifies a minimum 7mm gap

I bought these little metal strip things with magnets once that fit in those spaces. When I have company coming, I take them off. I got them from one of those catalogs like Carol Wright or something.

Here's a photo of a professionally designed Houzz kitchen that seems to have a similarly sized gap between the stovetop and the counter:

Yes I agree with others, try to locate your counter top fabricators and see if they have any left over remnants otherwise it maybe be pricey. Stainless steel is also another cost effective alternative. See picture below.

I am speaking about the gap on the right and left hand side of the stove, not the rear where it meets the backsplash ... we have a Viking island trim kit coming to close that gap.

Well, this post provided a good laugh. Half of us thought it was behind the stove and the other half got it right. Perhaps I led with the confusion, as I was the first to post with the wrong area, and answer. Sorry ,llillygoggiespad

It looks like you used to have whats called a free standing range, that's the reason for the missing piece of back splash, the gap behind the stove and on the left and right. Now that you have a slide-in range which is meant to slide on top of the countertop the easiest solution for this kind of problem is what Sstarr93 suggested. We had a client that requested a piece of granite to go under the stove to cover the gaps around the stove as shown on these pictures.

Try an appliance store for stainless steel strips for those sides. I need them too! The silicone ones are functional, but stainless will better complement your range and can stay in when company comes.

sstarr93 beat me to it. Those strips are designed to do what you need, just gotta find them.

Because I'm an expert in gap analysis.

We had the same problem in our kitchen and ordered the strips from amazon, they come in different lengths, they're very inexpensive

Viking makes a countertop side trim to handle this condition. See attached link

You might check your range owner manual - I believe some manufacturers want this gap open for heat escape. I'm struggling with this issue, too, as I'm trying to plan my kitchen remodel.

Thanks to everyone for all the help/suggestions. I am going to work with Viking on their side trim as Scott Designing, Inc. suggested ... I hope that will give the stove a finished look. Thanks , again, to everyone!

Lowes and Home Depot in the appliance dept. sell stainless steel metal strips that fit in between the counter and the stove so food doesn't get in. They work great! Also, come in white.

Viking countertop trim. I siliconed these in. Did not want to screw into side of range.

Try these, they work great for me!

dcarendt - Just what I need, also! They look good. Are yours 24", or 20"? I've been finding only the 20", but need the other. Thanks!

Has anyone found the strips in the 24" length? My stove has controls on the front and has a small gap that is the full depth of the counter. The short ones don't work for this.
