No to this idea but really you need to post osme pics and a to scale floor plan. Since you are asking if you need a header you certainly need some pros in your life . Any time you open a hole in an exterior wall you need a header . If the window does not open you can sometimes do this but honestly that window will be filty all the time and once the hood id hung the view will be minimal.

It's against building code in some locales, but not in all. One issue is if you live in a cold climate, and the temperature against the outer pane of glass in winter is quite different from the inner pane of glass that is behind a working cooktop. The expansion and contraction differences could cause the glass to break.

On a practical note, you will have to think about how you will exhaust the range in front of the window. There is discussion about a header, but what about the hood and hood exhaust duct? In addition, splatters against glass look more unsightly and very visible vs. splatters against tile. You have a lovely view that you will have to look through smears of grease and spatter to see.

I suggest you post your kitchen layout or dimensions on the Kitchens Forum (not sure why you've posted this question on the Laundry Room Forum), and see if there are better layouts available to you.

You would absolutely need tempered glass in that window for both strength and safety reasons per the quote, but also if you are in a northern climate there is the very real possibility that the glass will be covered in condensation when you so much as boil water on the stove when it's colder outside.

Lots of picture examples on line, and it can look pretty amazing, but is it a good idea?

I debated putting my rang in front of the window also. I found many photos of it online. And found and verified the only building codes that would affect it would be for gas range, not electric. But - the code would affect the venting of the appliance and the proximity to the window. Which brings me to the 2 reasons I choose not to- it would be to difficult to vent unless using a expensive downdraft vent, and secondly because I don't think I could deal with the amount of grease and food splatter that would end up on the window, and also because I did not like where the sill of the window would fall at the stove.

Laundry room? Oops didn’t realize sorry. Google range with window backsplash there are a lot. I know one person who has it. Yes my concern was oil at first but then I realized you can use a bottom draft tall vent to block also as far as heat issues , you could do induction also I think there is 6-12 inch requirement to the glass - yes. Good point about May bot need of window doesn’t open. Yes we will hire pros - they haven’t done a lot of this- yet! It’s a new concept. Why look at stone when you can have a view.. I’m thinking even some white lights in trees at night in background.. will find out from city. Thanks just was wondering if any of you have this.

PS live near ocean in Southern California so the cold isn’t really an issue. I’m more worried about hot sun and being too bright when I cook but I’d have to do shades outside (also maybe awning or deck cover eventually) etc.. I was so worried about oil splatters but I think 1)I’ll use front burners and also I’ve seen huge metal tall splatter screens for this you can buy on Amazon! What can’t you it on Amazon! We will see.. love indiction range or cooktop and safer.. we will see hope I can edit this and get it out of laundry room category.

“Why look at stone when you can have a view.”

Keep in mind that when you are cooking, you are looking down at your pots and pans, not up and out. The next time you are cooking at your stove, see how long you can look up and out - set your kitchen timer for 30 seconds. I doubt you’ll be able to stay looking up from your pans for nearly that long.
