Refrigerator Gap Cover FAQs
Got questions about our stainless steel refrigerator gap filler? Here are answers to the most common questions about fit, widths, measuring, materials, ventilation, installation, and availability.
The trim is designed for the opening above your refrigerator, between the top of the appliance and the underside of the upper cabinet.
Available trim widths are 30, 33 and 36 inches. Measure the opening above your refrigerator before choosing a width. If your opening falls between sizes, contact us to confirm fit before ordering. Do not round up.
The trim is made of brushed stainless steel.
Each kit includes five stackable trim pieces, each approximately 1 inch tall. The pieces overlap when stacked, so installed coverage is less than the combined individual piece heights. Measure your opening and confirm the coverage needed before ordering.
The vented design provides openings for airflow. Compatibility depends on your refrigerator's required clearances and airflow paths, so check its installation manual before installation.
You can view illustrative renderings on our product page showing the trim above a refrigerator. Actual appearance and fit will vary by kitchen and installation.
A refrigerator gap cover is a panel that fills the empty space between the top of your refrigerator and the cabinet above it. The Fridge Gap Co. cover is a stackable stainless steel trim kit: five vented trim pieces, each approximately 1 inch tall, that build to your gap height.
Most refrigerators require clearance above and behind them for ventilation and so the appliance can be slid in and out. While necessary, this space often leaves kitchens looking unfinished. A vented gap cover hides the gap while providing openings for airflow.
Measure the width of the cabinet opening above your refrigerator (left to right, inside edge to inside edge), then measure the vertical height from the top of your refrigerator to the bottom of the upper cabinet. See our detailed measuring guide for step-by-step instructions.

Yes. The gap cover can be removed if needed for appliance replacement, maintenance, or future kitchen updates.
