Master the fundamentals of stone tub deck fabrication with this classic flat deck template for standard 60-inch drop-in bathtubs. The straightforward rectangular design with integrated tub cutout represents the most common and versatile tub surround configuration in residential construction. With a functional 4-inch deck width on all sides, this template provides adequate space for bath accessories while optimizing material usage and minimizing fabrication complexity. It's the go-to choice for production fabricators, contractors, and CNC operators handling volume bathroom installations. This single-piece construction simplifies both fabrication and installation compared to multi-component systems. The clean lines work seamlessly with any bathroom design style from traditional to contemporary, making it ideal for spec homes, apartment buildings, hotel renovations, and residential remodels where efficient, reliable execution matters. Fabricate in granite for durability, marble for timeless elegance, or engineered quartz for consistent modern aesthetics across multiple units.
Installation Overview
The flat deck design offers straightforward installation with minimal complexity. Begin by verifying tub dimensions match the 60" x 32" template specifications. Clean the tub rim thoroughly and apply a continuous bead of waterproof silicone or construction adhesive around the perimeter. Set the deck on the tub rim, using shims as needed to achieve perfect level in both directions. Check for proper water drainage pitch away from walls if the tub is in an alcove configuration. Allow adhesive to cure fully before sealing deck-to-wall joints with flexible sealant. The deck's weight provides natural stability once properly leveled and adhered.
CNC Cutting Notes
Flat deck templates are ideal for optimizing CNC efficiency and material yield. Nest multiple decks on full slabs when fabricating production quantities. Use a 1/2-inch carbide endmill for all cutting operations, programming the interior tub cutout first followed by perimeter shaping. Standard depth of cut of 0.125 inches per pass works well for most stone materials. Program tabbing or micro-joints to prevent cutout drop during machining if using vacuum hold-down. Apply edge profiling in a separate operation after primary cutting. This simple geometry allows for maximum feedrates and minimal tool changes, ideal for production environments.
Material Compatibility
The flat deck design works with virtually any stone material in 2cm or 3cm thickness. Budget-conscious projects benefit from standard granite selections offering durability at competitive pricing. Mid-range marble provides classic appeal for traditional bathrooms. Engineered quartz delivers consistency for multi-unit installations where pattern matching matters. For high-end applications, exotic granites and quartzites showcase dramatic veining. The rectangular shape makes efficient use of standard slab dimensions, minimizing waste across all material types.
