Funny you say that ...QRM wrote:Worth noting if you are going down the "cheap glass route" stick a s/s section just behind the hob as the heat from the cooking often cracks the non toughen glass splash back.
I agree with you just get cheap Ikea carcass and fluff it up with nice fittings, and a decent solid worktop, even the "expensive" kitchens cabinets are still made from mdf and chip board.
The whole panel expanding - unlikely the reason, likely, the stresses within the glass itself. If the glass is thicker (anything above 1 mm) it will crack easily with even pretty mild thermal-shock treatment.
