Cooktop Trim Kits



Cooktop Trim Kit for a Standard Opening
Cooktop Trim Kits for standard rectangular openings are designed for situations where a larger cooktop has been replaced with a smaller model. They cover the oversized countertop cutout, eliminating the need for costly countertop replacement or re-tiling.
Note: These kits are decorative only and not intended to support the cooktop’s weight. Some countertop modifications may be needed to properly support the new appliance.
Cooktop Trim Kit for a Notched Opening
Cooktop Trim Kits for notched-back openings are designed for situations where an old cooktop and downdraft have been removed, leaving a cutout with a recessed section at the back. These kits provide a clean way to install a new all-in-one cooktop/downdraft or a separate cooktop and downdraft combination. They cover the irregular or oversized countertop cutout, removing the need for expensive countertop repair or replacement.
Note: These kits are decorative only and not intended to support the cooktop’s weight. Some countertop modifications may be required to ensure proper support for the new appliance.
