Description
This DXF template provides precise specifications for fabricating extra-wide 60-inch stone stair treads with an elegant beveled nosing profile in 2cm material thickness. The template accommodates the growing demand for generous stair widths in contemporary residential and commercial architecture, where wider treads enhance accessibility, traffic flow, and visual impact. At 2cm thickness (0.787 inches), this template is designed for applications where substrate support is continuous and uniform. While thinner than 3cm alternatives, 2cm stone offers advantages in material cost, weight reduction, and slab availability. The beveled nose profile provides a sophisticated architectural detail that complements modern design aesthetics. Fabricators should ensure adequate structural support across the 60-inch span, particularly for high-traffic applications or materials with directional grain patterns that could affect strength characteristics.

Installation Overview
Installing 60-inch wide stone treads requires careful attention to structural support and level. Verify that stair stringers or support walls are spaced no more than 24 inches on center for 2cm material, with full bearing along the back edge. Apply a full mortar bed or continuous adhesive bead to eliminate voids that could lead to cracking under point loads. Use at least three measurement points across the width to verify level during installation. The extended width makes these treads susceptible to lippage; use leveling clips or shims as needed during adhesive cure. For 2cm material spanning 60 inches, consider additional mid-span support or reinforcement mesh on the underside to prevent flexing.
CNC Cutting Notes
Programming for 60-inch wide treads requires special consideration for material handling and support during cutting operations. Ensure your CNC bed provides adequate support across the entire length to prevent flexing during cutting, which could cause dimensional variations. The beveled nose profile should be cut with reduced feed rates to maintain clean edge quality across the extended length. Use multiple vacuum zones to secure the material, particularly near the nosing overhang. For 2cm material, minimize tool pressure during profiling operations to prevent chipping or stress cracks. Plan tool paths to cut the perimeter first, then profile the beveled edge to maintain material rigidity during critical finishing cuts.
Material Compatibility
This 2cm template works with granite, engineered quartz, and quartzite materials that exhibit good structural properties. Avoid using 2cm marble or soft limestone for 60-inch spans unless laminated or reinforced, as these materials may not provide adequate strength for the width. Engineered quartz performs exceptionally well in 2cm thickness due to its homogeneous structure and engineered strength. When selecting granite, prefer materials with tight grain patterns and minimal veining across the 60-inch span. Materials with pronounced veining should be oriented to run perpendicular to the tread depth rather than parallel to the 60-inch length, reducing the risk of breakage along vein lines.
Where to Buy
Wide-format stone stair treads in 2cm thickness are available through specialized stone fabricators equipped to handle large-format materials. Many fabrication shops can source 60-inch wide slabs or book-match narrower slabs to achieve the required width. Contact local stone yards and fabricators who service commercial projects, as they typically maintain inventory of larger format slabs suitable for architectural applications. Request samples showing the beveled nose profile to ensure the fabricator's capabilities meet your quality expectations.
