Enhance fireplace installations with this premium hearth slab template featuring integrated log holder storage for medium to large fireplace applications. The 60x20 inch dimensions provide generous coverage for wider fireplace openings while maintaining the sophisticated design of the built-in log holder cavity. This professional-grade DXF template delivers precise cutting specifications for stone fabricators working with granite, marble, quartz, and other premium natural stone materials. The expanded 60-inch width accommodates larger residential fireplaces and provides proportional balance for great rooms and open floor plans. The integrated log holder eliminates clutter from standalone wood storage while creating an architectural focal point that complements traditional and contemporary fireplace designs. This template includes complete fabrication specifications, edge profiles, and cavity details required for accurate CNC programming and manual layout. Designed for professional stone shops and CNC operators, this template ensures repeatable precision across multiple installations. The 20-inch depth provides improved heat protection for flooring and increased storage capacity in the log holder cavity. Compatible with all industry-standard CAD software and CNC systems, this template streamlines the fabrication process from initial layout through final edge finishing, reducing material waste and production time.
Installation Overview
Proper installation of this 60x20 hearth requires structural evaluation of the supporting floor system to accommodate the increased weight of wider stone slabs plus firewood load. Install adequate blocking and reinforcement beneath the hearth location before setting the stone. Position the slab to maintain required clearances from combustible materials, typically 16 inches minimum in front of the fireplace opening and 8 inches on sides. The log holder cavity should face room traffic patterns for convenient access. Secure the hearth using high-temperature construction adhesive combined with mechanical anchors through pre-drilled mounting points. Edge finishing and sealing should be completed before the fireplace is used. Allow full curing of all adhesives before loading firewood or exposing the hearth to heat cycles.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC programming for this larger hearth template requires careful consideration of material handling and support during cutting operations. Secure 60-inch wide slabs properly to prevent vibration during routing and edge profiling. Begin fabrication with exterior profile cutting, followed by cavity routing for the log holder feature. Use progressive depth passes when creating the raised 2-inch profile and log holder cavity to prevent stress fractures, especially important with larger stone pieces. Tool path optimization should minimize repositioning and ensure consistent depth control across the wider surface area. Account for material grain patterns when positioning the template to maximize visual appeal and structural integrity. Verify all dimensions against fireplace specifications before cutting, as custom installations may require field measurements.
Material Compatibility
Select stone materials with adequate thickness to support the 60-inch span without flexing or cracking under use. Minimum 3cm thickness is recommended for this width, with 4cm or 6cm preferred for maximum durability and refined aesthetics. Granite offers exceptional strength for wider hearth spans and excellent heat resistance for active fireplaces. Marble creates luxurious appearance but requires careful selection of structurally sound varieties for larger dimensions. Engineered quartz provides consistent color and pattern across wider pieces with good heat tolerance when properly installed. Soapstone delivers traditional fireplace aesthetics with natural heat management properties. Consider reinforcement options like fiber mesh backing for very wide installations in high-traffic areas.
Where to Buy
Source premium stone slabs for 60-inch hearth fabrication through wholesale distributors specializing in architectural stone products. National suppliers like MSI, Daltile, and Bedrosians maintain inventory of wide-format slabs suitable for hearth applications. Regional stone yards often provide competitive pricing and local delivery for large-format materials. For engineered quartz, consult authorized dealers for Cambria, Caesarstone, Silestone, or other major brands. Establish relationships with multiple suppliers to ensure material availability and access to diverse stone selections for custom hearth projects.
