Description
This engineered DXF template addresses maximum-width 60-inch treads using 2cm+2cm laminated construction with classic bullnose nosing. The 60-inch width provides exceptional walking surface and architectural presence while laminated construction delivers structural integrity across this span using economical 2cm slabs. The resulting 1.575-inch thickness combines substantial strength with material efficiency. Laminated construction for 60-inch treads offers significant advantages including reduced cracking risk, improved dimensional stability, and ability to use cost-effective 2cm slabs. The bullnose profile maintains traditional elegance across the impressive width. This specification serves grand staircases, commercial applications, and residential projects where maximum tread width enhances traffic flow and architectural impact.

Installation Overview
Installing 60-inch laminated treads requires professional expertise and adequate manpower (weight 70-80 lbs per tread). Support stringers should be spaced 24-30 inches maximum on center with continuous rear bearing. Apply adhesive in full-spread fashion to prevent voids affecting the laminated bond. Use multiple measurement points across the 60-inch width to verify level. Temporary mid-span support during cure prevents sagging. The bullnose should project uniformly along the entire length.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC operations for 60-inch laminated treads demand industrial equipment and precision programming. Ensure complete lamination cure (48-72 hours minimum) before cutting. Use multiple vacuum zones for uniform hold-down across the length. The bullnose profile requires careful programming to cut cleanly through both layers without exposing the bond line. Feed rates should be conservative to prevent delamination. Manage heat buildup meticulously.
Material Compatibility
Laminated construction works excellently with granite, engineered quartz, and quartzite. Match grain patterns carefully for invisible bond lines. Engineered quartz requires manufacturer-approved adhesives. Use UV-resistant, color-matched adhesives for natural stones. The 60-inch width allows spectacular book-matching effects, with laminated construction providing necessary structural support for such wide single-piece treads.
Where to Buy
Laminated 60-inch treads require specialized fabricators with lamination equipment and large-format capabilities. Contact shops advertising architectural stonework or commercial projects. Professional fabrication ensures proper adhesive selection, vacuum pressing, and quality control. Expect 2-4 week lead times. Professional installation is strongly recommended.
