Installation Overview
Installing drop-in tub decks requires professional expertise to ensure both structural integrity and aesthetic excellence. Verify the substrate is perfectly level and structurally sound across the entire deck area to prevent stress concentration. Use high-quality polymer-modified stone adhesive with proper trowel coverage to achieve complete bonding. Coordinate with plumbers for proper drain access and sealing at the deck-to-tub interface. The deck must be positioned precisely to maintain uniform reveals and proper alignment. Allow adequate cure time before use.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program your CNC router to cut the deck outline with centered tub cutout maintaining precise dimensional accuracy for proper fit. The cutout requires smooth internal corners with appropriate radii matching your tub flange configuration. Use secure workholding with multiple vacuum zones for large deck pieces. Select appropriate cutting tools for your material type and thickness. Edge profiling should create elegant finished edges appropriate for luxury bathroom applications. Run simulations to verify toolpaths and optimize cutting sequences.
Material Compatibility
This template works with premium stone materials at 3cm thickness. Granite provides durability and unique natural patterns ideal for statement pieces. Marble offers classic luxury with elegant veining. Quartzite combines beauty with exceptional hardness. Engineered quartz delivers consistent appearance with superior stain resistance and minimal maintenance. Select materials with appropriate slip resistance for wet bathroom environments. Seal natural stone properly for moisture protection.
Where to Buy
