Hi,
When sourcing a hardwood worktop, I came across a supplier recommending fitting of "endcaps" on exposed edges to cover the endgrain, and on any edge adjacent to an Aga-style range to reduce the chance of splitting due to excessive heat.
Anyone have experience of this? They don't mention how it should be fitted, but I assume it needs to allow expansion/contraction across the width like a breadboard end, otherwise it'll cause splitting rather than prevent it.
Thanks
Drew
