Create a complete, integrated bathtub installation with this two-piece template system featuring both deck and apron components for standard 60-inch drop-in tubs. The deck portion provides a functional 4-inch wide surface around the tub perimeter, while the matching apron panel conceals the tub structure and rough plumbing for a finished, furniture-quality appearance. This design is perfect for alcove installations where the tub front is exposed to the bathroom. Fabricators appreciate the coordinated design that ensures visual continuity between the horizontal deck and vertical apron surfaces. When fabricated from the same slab, the grain and color flow seamlessly from deck to apron, creating a custom, high-end look that elevates any bathroom. This template works beautifully with granite, marble, quartz, and quartzite materials, allowing you to showcase dramatic book-matched patterns or subtle solid colors. The two-piece design simplifies handling and installation compared to monolithic tub surrounds.
Installation Overview
Begin by fabricating both the deck and apron pieces from your selected slab material, maintaining grain direction continuity if working with veined stone. The deck installs first, setting on the tub rim with appropriate shimming and leveling. Apply silicone adhesive to the tub flange before positioning the deck to ensure a waterproof seal. Once the deck is secured and leveled, install the apron panel against the tub front, securing it to framing members behind the tub. The apron should align flush with the deck overhang, creating a clean vertical transition. Seal all joints between deck and apron with color-matched silicone or epoxy for moisture protection.
CNC Cutting Notes
Cut both pieces in a single CNC session to maximize material utilization and ensure consistent finish quality. Use a 1/2-inch diameter carbide endmill for all cutting operations, starting with the deck cutout and perimeter, then proceeding to the apron panel. For the apron, program edge profiling toolpaths to match the deck edge treatment exactly. Consider adding registration marks or alignment tabs to the apron piece to ensure proper field positioning. Standard depth of cut ranges from 0.100 to 0.125 inches per pass for most stone types, with reduced feedrates near corners to prevent chipping.
Material Compatibility
This two-piece template system works with all common stone materials in 2cm or 3cm thickness. Granite and quartzite provide exceptional durability for high-traffic family bathrooms. Marble offers classic elegance for traditional or luxury installations. Engineered quartz delivers consistent color and pattern matching between deck and apron pieces, ideal for contemporary designs. For best results with strongly veined materials, nest both pieces on the slab to achieve book-matching or grain flow continuity.
