We consider a family \{\mathcal {H}^arepsilon\} _ {arepsilon> 0} of \{\mathcal {H}^arepsilon\} _ {arepsilon> 0} -periodic Schrdinger operators with \{\mathcal {H}^arepsilon\} _ {arepsilon> 0} -interactions supported on a lattice of closed compact surfaces; within a minimal period cell one has \{\mathcal {H}^arepsilon\} _ {arepsilon> 0} surfaces. We show that in the limit when \{\mathcal {H}^arepsilon\} _ {arepsilon> 0} and the interactions strengths are appropriately scaled, \{\mathcal {H}^arepsilon\} _ {arepsilon> 0} has at most \{\mathcal {H}^arepsilon\} _ {arepsilon> 0} gaps within finite intervals, and moreover, the limiting behavior of the first \{\mathcal {H}^arepsilon\} _ {arepsilon> 0} gaps can be completely controlled through a suitable choice of those surfaces and of the interactions strengths.
