Hi Jake- We are excited to hear of your interest! The front control design allows you to showcase a solid backsplash visual without being broken up by a control panel. Tile and glass art backsplashes are prevalent in every style of design, from subway tile to ornate glass mosaic. View the following -  FRONT CONTROL SLIDE-IN RANGES: http://www.geappliances.com/ge/range-stove/front-control-range.htm -  As indicated, make sure the wall covering, countertop, flooring and cabinets around the range can withstand the heat (up to 200°F) generated by the range (includes back wall).
