hi
is it ok for kitchen stove facing clear glass partition wal?
this mean when cooking my back is facing toward the clear glass.
do clear glass consider a wall?
please advice if this is ok.
thank you

These are some considerations:
1. "What is behind the glass?"
1.1. Based on Symbolic Feng Shui; a stove or oven should not face a bedroom door.
1.2. Thus if the glass overlooks INTO a bedroom and if some one is sleeping in that bedroom; then based on symbolism. the concern is that of getting a fever or falling sick.
2. Other considerations:
2.1. In theory, some geomancers may frown upon clear glass as not being a wall.
2.2. Often, for practical purposes a stove table top is often around the range of 33 inches to 35 inches high.
2.2.1 And often, the clear glass SITs higher than that. If this is so, this would dispel or make Para 2.1. less of a concern as ultimately, in reality the stove (hob) level would often still face a partion or opening.
3. Anyway, what you are talking about is MODERN times. And in modern times; nowadays more and more homes do have such a senario as what you had mentioned.
3.1. Frankly,I don't think it is a major issue.
3.2. In addition, one could easily paste an opaque film if one still feels very uncomfortable over the situation.
3.3. On the extreme end, there are now many modern homes with an open kitchen concept and with or without the glass; it makes no difference, here.
4. From a practical point of view; most of the time, we see that the kitchen is dark and dim. And often, when we are in the kitchen, we have to turn on the lights.
4,1 Clear glass or even opague glass or more glass means that natural light can flow into the kitchen. I believe this is the major reason for such a design. And this is a plus point: that we should not forget.
