Can a storage heater be fitted under a worktop? Will the heat warp the worktop? Maybe a metal guard over the heater grill but the whole volume of air under worktop will be warm. Somebody else on the site has posted about heater under worktop and asking about adding a grill in worktop to allow hot air to pass through so presumably they found it ok?

you can never presume anything as people seldom come back and say "i was wrong" or even take the time to update threads for the benefits off others
extremes off heat and moisture may have instant effect or take years to gradually or even eventually to suddenly fail this is why we need good decent slightly to very embarrassed people to give feedback on there ideas to help others not make the same mistake
 
We have had a wet radiator 250mm under an open work top for the past 20 odd years without problem. Our top is 42mm and barely gets warm from the rising hot air.
