Description
This professional DXF template provides complete fabrication specifications for a 36-inch stone stair tread featuring anti-slip safety grooves and laminated 2cm+2cm construction. Laminated stair treads combine two 2cm stone pieces to create a robust 4cm (approximately 1.575 inches) assembly that provides exceptional strength while managing weight effectively. The anti-slip grooved design incorporates safety channels near the nosing edge to prevent slipping, critical for residential and commercial stair applications. Stone stair treads represent the pinnacle of architectural durability and aesthetic appeal, offering decades of performance in high-traffic environments. The laminated construction technique bonds two 2cm pieces using structural adhesive and reinforcement, creating strength superior to single-piece 3cm treads while allowing fabricators to utilize readily available 2cm material. The 36-inch length accommodates standard residential stair widths with the 12-inch depth providing comfortable foot placement and code-compliant tread dimensions. Fabricators receive comprehensive specifications including anti-slip groove placement and dimensions, nosing profile geometry with 1-inch overhang, lamination reference lines, and complete CNC toolpaths. The template supports granite, marble, quartzite, and engineered quartz materials, compatible with all major CNC fabrication systems and CAD software platforms.

Installation Overview
Installation begins with verifying stair substrate is level, properly supported, and prepared to accept stone treads. The laminated 4cm thickness provides excellent stability and reduces deflection concerns. Apply high-strength construction adhesive or thin-set mortar to the substrate, ensuring complete coverage without voids. Position each tread carefully, verifying the 1-inch nosing overhang is consistent and aligned with stair stringers. Check level both front-to-back and side-to-side, shimming if necessary. Anti-slip grooves should face the front edge near the nosing. Allow proper cure time before foot traffic - typically 24-48 hours depending on adhesive type. For exterior installations, use frost-resistant mortar and ensure proper drainage. Professional installation of stone stair treads requires attention to structural support, proper adhesive selection, and precise alignment.
CNC Cutting Notes
Fabricate each 2cm piece separately before lamination. Cut anti-slip grooves into the top 2cm piece using appropriate tooling - typically 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch wide channels positioned 1 to 2 inches from the nosing edge. Groove depth should be 1/8 to 3/16 inch for effective slip resistance without compromising structural integrity. Program the nosing profile on the bottom 2cm piece - common profiles include bullnose, bevel, or ogee depending on design requirements. Use sharp diamond tooling for natural stone, carbide for engineered quartz. After individual pieces are cut and finished, bond them using two-part structural epoxy or approved lamination adhesive. Apply adhesive evenly, use proper clamping pressure, and allow full cure time. The laminated assembly creates a strong, unified tread. Finish exposed edges with appropriate profile, typically matching the nosing style.
Material Compatibility
Ideal for dense granite varieties that provide superior durability in stair applications. Absolute black granite, steel grey, tan brown, and other low-porosity granites resist wear and maintain appearance over decades. Engineered quartz materials perform exceptionally well due to uniform density and scratch resistance. Quartzite offers natural beauty with exceptional hardness suitable for high-traffic stairs. Marble can be used for interior applications but requires diligent maintenance and may show wear over time. For laminated construction, both pieces should be from the same material lot to ensure color consistency. Verify materials meet slip-resistance requirements for stair treads, particularly important with polished finishes. The anti-slip grooves provide critical safety enhancement regardless of material selection.
Where to Buy
This professional DXF template is available as free download from Slabwise. Natural stone slabs in 2cm thickness suitable for stair tread fabrication are available through wholesale stone distributors carrying granite, marble, and quartzite. Engineered quartz materials in 2cm can be sourced from Caesarstone, Cambria, Silestone, HanStone, and other premium manufacturers. Structural adhesives for lamination are available from Tenax, Akemi, and other stone fabrication suppliers. Anti-slip treatment products can provide additional safety enhancement beyond the grooved design.
