Enhance bathroom accessibility and visual interest with this innovative tub deck template featuring an integrated step design for standard 60-inch drop-in tubs. The stepped configuration creates a natural entry point that reduces the climb-over height, making bathing safer and more comfortable for users of all ages and mobility levels. This design is particularly valuable in universal design applications, aging-in-place renovations, and family bathrooms where safety is paramount without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. The 4-inch deck width provides adequate surface area around the tub perimeter while the step detail adds architectural dimension to what would otherwise be a flat surface. Stone fabricators appreciate the single-piece construction that simplifies installation compared to multi-component step systems. This template works beautifully with granite, marble, quartz, and engineered stone, creating a seamless, durable solution that combines function with form in residential and commercial bathroom projects.
Installation Overview
Verify tub dimensions and step height requirements before fabrication to ensure comfortable entry clearance. The stepped deck requires precise leveling during installation to maintain safety and prevent water pooling. Set the deck on the tub rim with waterproof adhesive, ensuring the step portion is properly supported by either the tub structure or supplemental framing. Use shims to achieve perfect level across both deck and step surfaces. The transition between step and main deck surface should be smooth and rounded to prevent trip hazards. Seal all joints thoroughly with flexible sealant rated for wet environments.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program the step detail with careful attention to depth changes and transition angles. Use a 1/2-inch endmill for general cutting, reducing to 3/8-inch for tight corners in the step geometry. Set depth of cut to 0.100-0.125 inches per pass, with multiple finishing passes at the step transition to achieve smooth surface quality. Consider programming a slight slope on the step surface for water drainage back toward the tub. Round all sharp corners on the step edge to 1/8-inch radius minimum for safety. Test toolpaths in simulation software before cutting to verify step height accuracy.
Material Compatibility
This accessible design template works with all standard stone materials in 2cm or 3cm thickness. Granite and quartzite provide excellent slip resistance in wet conditions, important for step surfaces. Textured or honed finishes are preferable to high-polish surfaces for the step area to improve traction. Engineered quartz offers consistent material properties ideal for precise step fabrication. For 2cm material, ensure adequate structural support under the step cantilever area. Solid surface materials also work well with appropriate tooling modifications.
