    Yea - mine is about that much gap and I have a high gloss surface too! Get the polish and dusters ready - they don’t half show the dust and bits in the air!!!

    yes but you will have a cold kitchen and a really warm worktop! a bit like underfloor heating but less effective!

    I’m far from being an expert but instinct suggests that it would not be a wise move. I don’t know why but I have a feeling that it may cause the worktop to warp in any event I’m sue it would effect the efficiency of the radiator in it’s attempt to heat the kitchen. As I say I have no real knowledge but am being instinctive

    Yes, you can and you will have the benefit ot the worktop deflecting the heat from the radiator into the room!

    There should be no problems. After all, people often fit “radiator shelves” just above rads, to stop dust streaks up the wall.

    Heat circulation will be slightly less effective under a deep worktop, If the rad has a thermostatic valve, I suppose this might be fooled into thinking the whole room is warm, rather than just a cosy area under the work-top,
