I was told to be careful if I tiled with larger glass/subway tile or more behind the area where my under cabinet range hood would go as the installation could crack the tile sending spider like cracks to other tiles and eventually show needing replacing of the wall of tiles. It happened to a woman selling the range hoods and she had to replace her lovely sea glass subway tiles with mosaic to avoid it again. and---- it is best to tile all the way up since replacing range hoods may not always be the same size to cover. Any advice would be helpful. How high does one tile up behind stove before installing an undercabinet range hood?
