Hi All.
We have a half-height glass splashback in the kitchen with a curved canopy rangehood. I wanted the top of the glass to meet the top of the curve of the rangehood (see picture below, hopefully...). I specifically requested this during the pre-start process, and it was drawn into the final plans and specified as part of the variations.
The splashback went in a while ago, but the rangehood has only just gone in, but they've installed it above the glass. They are telling us that the curved glass on the rangehood is flush with the back of the rangehood, so it can't come out the 8mm or so of the splashback glass and still have the flue flush with the wall.
The supervisor says nothing can be done, and DH is telling me to suck it up, princess. But, not only does it look odd, the curved bit of wall now between the splashback and the canopy is just going to get dirty and horrible. DH thinks it will be alright - but he won't be the one having to clean it!
So - can it be done?? Is the builder just spinning a yarn that it's not possible because they can't be bothered re-doing it?
I know it could be done easy if the splashback was full height, and if they'd told us when the plans were being drawn up it was going to be a problem, we would've either gone full height or picked a different rangehood.
How it's supposed to be:
