In this episode of my granite fitting saga, it appears that there won't be
enough room for the 40mm wooden beam across the twin appliance gap to
support the granite. What width steel box section would have the same
bending resistance as the 40mm wood specified?

Also, can granite rest directly on the metal, or should there be a soft
material on top, such as hardboard?

Christian.



If you're having difficulty sourcing the box section, what about a few runs
of angle iron to support? With a suitable facing if any of it is on show,
of course....
