Answer summary
What is the Full-Depth Raised - 72x22 DXF template for?
Full-Depth Raised - 72x22 is a architectural stone DXF template for countertop fabrication. Use it only after matching the manufacturer, model, dimensions, variant, and shop workflow to the actual job.
Risk check: Similar-looking products can use different cutout geometry. Confirm the official spec, shop tolerance, material behavior, and CNC output before production.
Next step: Run a DXF check, compare related templates, and keep the current manufacturer spec with the job packet.
Template decision guide
Should you use the Full-Depth Raised - 72x22 DXF template?
Use the template page to shortlist a production file, then verify the exact model, variant, and machine workflow before cutting.
Best fit
Full-Depth Raised - 72x22 is most useful when the product, manufacturer, model, install type, and variant match the job you are fabricating.
What to compare
Compare model number, dimensions, reveal or overhang, bowl or appliance geometry, material thickness, and CNC output requirements.
Risk check
Do not use a similar-looking template as a final production file. Small changes in flange, radius, trim, or reveal can cause a failed cutout.
Evidence to verify
Check the current manufacturer spec, field measurement, template preview, DXF layers, and a shop-approved tolerance before production.

Page-specific notes for Full-Depth Raised - 72x22
These notes are assembled from this exact template record, its category, available variants, and nearby template comparisons. They are meant to make the page more useful than a generic download page.
Exact record SlabWise is using
Full-Depth Raised - 72x22 is filed under Architectural Stone. The normalized record lists width 72", depth 22", so the safest use is as a production starting point that still gets checked against the current job packet.
Variant choice
This record is shown as a single template variant. Treat that as a reason to verify reveal, overhang, and cutout assumptions before the file reaches production.
Category-specific production check
Architectural Stone files should be checked for fit against material thickness, edge treatment, sink or appliance clearance, CNC layer expectations, and the shop's preferred tolerance before cutting customer material.
Closest comparisons
Before choosing this file, compare it with Corner Hearth - 48x18, Corner Hearth - 60x20, Corner Hearth - 72x22 to catch small model, radius, flange, or layout differences that can change the final cut.

Installation Overview
Installation of a 72x22 hearth begins with thorough preparation of the support substrate to ensure it can bear the weight of the stone slab—typically 150-200 pounds for 3cm material in this size range. Verify that the substrate is level within 1/16 inch across its entire surface, shimming or grinding as necessary to achieve proper flatness. The hearth must extend at least 16 inches from the fireplace opening per NFPA 211 building code requirements, with this 22-inch template providing appropriate clearance. Apply a full bed of construction adhesive or thin-set mortar rated for high-temperature applications to the substrate surface. Position the hearth carefully, checking for level in all directions. For full-depth-raised designs, pay particular attention to front-edge alignment to ensure the distinctive profile presents uniformly across the width. Allow adhesive to cure for minimum 24 hours before subjecting the hearth to any load or beginning fireplace operation.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC fabrication of this 72x22 hearth template requires standard setup procedures with attention to edge finishing details that define the full-depth-raised style. Import the DXF file into your CAM software and verify all dimensions before generating toolpaths. Establish your origin point at a corner location and ensure the slab is properly secured with vacuum or mechanical clamping to prevent movement during cutting. For the full-depth raised platform, program your edge profile cuts with appropriate tool selection and feed rates to achieve smooth curves and clean edges. Use a finishing pass with fine-grit diamond tooling to minimize hand-polishing requirements. Program internal cuts before perimeter cuts to maintain slab rigidity during critical operations. Apply coolant consistently during all cutting operations to manage heat and prevent material stress that could cause microfracturing.
Material Compatibility
This 72x22 hearth template is compatible with all standard countertop materials suitable for fireplace applications. Granite remains the most popular choice for wood-burning fireplace hearths due to its exceptional heat resistance, durability, and variety of colors and patterns. Dense granite varieties with consistent structure perform best in applications with regular heat cycling and potential impact from fireplace tools or logs. Engineered quartz surfaces work well for gas fireplace and electric fireplace installations where heat exposure is minimal. Marble and limestone create beautiful hearths for decorative fireplace applications but should be sealed to prevent staining from soot or ash. Quartzite offers an excellent combination of marble-like aesthetics with granite-level durability and heat resistance, making it suitable for all fireplace types.
