Installation Overview
Installing 48-inch 3cm treads requires professional techniques and adequate manpower due to substantial weight (70-85 lbs per tread). Prepare substrates with level support across full width. Support spacing can be 26-32 inches on center for granite/quartz with continuous rear bearing. Apply mortar or adhesive in full-bed fashion. Verify level at multiple points across the width. Temporary support bracing during cure is recommended. The substantial thickness provides excellent stability during installation.
CNC Cutting Notes
Cutting 48-inch 3cm material requires industrial CNC equipment with adequate bed length and robust hold-down. The material mass demands reduced feed rates for the bullnose profile. Use appropriately sized diamond tooling (3-4 inch diameter bits). The thickness allows pronounced bullnose radii (2-2.5 inches) for elegant profiles. Program multiple passes for optimal quality. Water cooling is essential for heat management.
Material Compatibility
This template accommodates all premium stone materials. The 3cm thickness particularly suits marble and limestone that benefit from added mass. Exotic granites display dramatically across 48-inch width. Engineered quartz provides maximum commercial durability. Book-matching creates stunning visual effects. The substantial dimensions prominently display stone characteristics, so select slabs carefully.
Where to Buy
48-inch treads in 3cm thickness represent premium work requiring experienced fabricators with large-format capabilities. Contact fabricators serving high-end residential and commercial markets. Expect 2-3 week lead times for material sourcing and fabrication. Professional installation is strongly recommended for these substantial elements.
