I recently fitted a frameless glass hob (Baumatic), but the supplied
sponge sealing strip looks unsightly. Can anyone suggest another neater
method of sealing the hob to the worktop, preferably without using
silicon sealant.

L-shaped aluminium strip but your still going to have to glue it in place.

Picture looks naff but the strip looks quite pleasing in these sort of
situations.

Thanks, but the reason I bought a frameless hob was to have no metal
visible across the surface.

I have a baumatic hob, which model do you have?

I used the sponge strip and you cant see it, it should fit under the
lip and compress down. I'm asssuming my hob is frameless not much of a
frame if it isn't but there is a slight bit of metal showing about 1mm
in diameter so maybe yours doesn't have this?

It is a B13 frameless but the sponge strip shows all along the front.

Ah yes I see it doesn't have the 1mm metal. Why do you need to seal it?
I would probably leave it as is or use silicone but you said you didn't
want to do that.

Sorry cant think of anything else.....

I want to prevent spills etc from getting to the cut worktop or onto the
top of the oven which is below the hob.
