A window above the stove provides direct exposure to outdoor elements, which can introduce challenges during cooking. Rain, wind, or dust may enter the kitchen through an open window, complicating meal preparation and cleanliness. Insects, pollen, and debris can also make their way inside, particularly in homes without window screens.. This is a beautiful look. I would love a huge window on the entire backsplash/wall above lowers and range- would have to move over the sheer wall behind the stove and do asymmetrical or maybe the engineer will be able to do with a steel beam or header just wonder if any of you have any experience in.
* Hi, I'm new to the discussions and I would appreciate your help with a problem. I'm redesigning our kitchen and want to place the stove (nothing fancy, a GE 30″ gas slide-in) on an outside wall, with a window behind it. I have read in several places that a window behind a stove is not a good idea, but I have seen no explanation of why. One set of "kitchen design rules" said that it.. This is why many would like to place their stove under a window. But before doing this, it is important to think of the pros and cons. A window above the stovetop can provide better ventilation while cooking, natural lighting, and good views. However, it can come with potential fire risks due to the wind or curtains.
