Description
This professional DXF template provides complete fabrication specifications for a premium 36-inch stone stair tread in 3cm thickness featuring integrated anti-slip safety grooves. The 3cm single-piece construction represents the industry standard for stone stair treads, offering superior strength, durability, and long-term performance in residential and commercial applications. This thickness provides optimal balance between structural integrity, weight, and fabrication flexibility, making it the preferred choice for most stair tread installations. Stone stair treads in 3cm thickness deliver decades of reliable performance with minimal maintenance, making them ideal for high-traffic environments and demanding applications. The 3cm material (approximately 1.181 inches) provides ample thickness for deep anti-slip grooves, complex nosing profiles, and resistance to impact damage. The anti-slip grooved design enhances safety through improved traction, particularly critical in wet conditions or high-traffic areas. The 36-inch length accommodates standard residential stair widths while the 12-inch depth ensures comfortable foot placement and code compliance. Fabricators receive comprehensive technical specifications including anti-slip groove dimensions and placement, nosing profile geometry with 1-inch overhang, complete reference lines, and CNC-ready 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 of 3cm stair treads begins with verifying stair substrate is level, properly reinforced, and prepared to support the increased weight compared to thinner materials. The robust 3cm thickness provides excellent stability and resistance to deflection. Apply premium construction adhesive or thin-set mortar to substrate with complete coverage. Position each tread carefully, ensuring the 1-inch nosing overhang maintains consistent alignment with stair stringers and adjacent treads. Check level in both front-to-back and side-to-side directions. The increased weight of 3cm material aids in stability during setting but requires two-person handling. Anti-slip grooves should be oriented toward the front edge near the nosing for maximum effectiveness. Allow proper cure time - typically 24-48 hours minimum before foot traffic. The 3cm thickness accommodates minor substrate irregularities better than thinner materials. For exterior installations, use frost-resistant mortars and apply appropriate sealers rated for outdoor exposure and freeze-thaw cycles.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program anti-slip grooves on the top surface with dimensions typically 1/4 to 3/8 inch wide, positioned 1 to 2 inches from the nosing edge. The 3cm thickness allows groove depths up to 3/16 to 1/4 inch, providing excellent slip resistance while maintaining ample material thickness. Use sharp diamond tooling for natural stone, carbide for engineered quartz, with appropriate feed rates to achieve clean groove cuts without chipping. The nosing profile benefits from the 3cm thickness, allowing more elaborate designs including bullnose, ogee, or custom profiles. Program edge profiles with smooth transitions to prevent stress concentrations. Finish all exposed edges with appropriate treatment matching the design intent. The robust 3cm material allows aggressive cutting parameters compared to thinner stock. Always inspect completed treads for micro-fractures or edge chips before installation, particularly in natural stone materials with inherent veining or fissures.
Material Compatibility
Excellent for all granite varieties including absolute black, steel grey, tan brown, and exotic selections. The 3cm thickness provides optimal performance across all granite densities. Engineered quartz materials in 3cm offer maximum strength and wear resistance for demanding stair applications. Quartzite works beautifully in 3cm thickness, showcasing natural patterns while providing exceptional hardness. Marble is suitable for 3cm stair treads in interior applications, though regular maintenance and sealing are required to preserve appearance. The increased thickness accommodates materials with moderate veining or natural characteristics that might be unsuitable in thinner profiles. Select materials free from significant fissures or structural weaknesses. All materials must meet slip-resistance requirements, enhanced by the anti-slip groove design. The 3cm thickness provides fabricators maximum flexibility in material selection and design options.
Where to Buy
This professional DXF template is available as free download from Slabwise. Natural stone slabs in 3cm thickness are the industry standard and available through all wholesale stone distributors carrying granite, marble, and quartzite. Engineered quartz materials in 3cm can be sourced from Caesarstone, Cambria, Silestone, HanStone, Vicostone, Dekton, and other premium manufacturers. Installation adhesives and mortars suitable for 3cm stone are available from stone fabrication suppliers including Tenax, Akemi, and others. Sealers and anti-slip treatments provide additional protection and safety enhancement for stair tread applications.
