Enhance both functionality and aesthetics in luxury bathroom installations with our engineered tub platform template featuring integrated shelf components designed for 60-inch freestanding bathtubs. This sophisticated two-piece architectural DXF template provides fabricators with precision patterns for creating elegant stone platforms that combine structural tub support with practical shelf surfaces for bath accessories, candles, toiletries, or decorative elements. The integrated shelf extends the platform design vocabulary while adding valuable horizontal surfaces that enhance the bathing experience and bathroom functionality. Measuring 72 inches in length and 40 inches in width for the main platform, this multi-component template accommodates standard 60-inch by 30-inch freestanding tubs with an accompanying shelf element that integrates seamlessly into the overall platform composition. Ideal for spa-inspired bathroom designs, luxury residential projects where functionality meets refined aesthetics, and hospitality installations where thoughtful details distinguish exceptional from ordinary.
Installation Overview
Installation of this two-piece platform system requires careful coordination between the main platform and integrated shelf components to achieve proper alignment, consistent reveal dimensions, and structural stability. Begin with main platform placement following standard installation procedures including substrate verification, levelness confirmation, and structural load assessment. Position the shelf component according to template specifications, ensuring precise alignment with platform geometry and tub positioning. The shelf typically mounts adjacent to or as an extension of the main platform, requiring careful joint preparation and alignment to create seamless visual integration. Dry-fit both components before final adhesive application, verifying all dimensional relationships, joint alignments, and functional clearances. Secure components using premium stone adhesive, with particular attention to shelf attachment points to ensure adequate support for functional loading from bath accessories and decorative items placed on shelf surfaces.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC fabrication of this two-piece system requires careful nesting and cutting sequence planning to optimize material utilization and maintain consistent quality across both components. Program the main platform first, followed by shelf component fabrication from coordinated material to ensure veining continuity and color matching between pieces. Use appropriate bit selections for each component's geometry, with ball nose bits for any curved transitions and straight flute bits for clean edge profiles. Program feed rates between 80-120 IPM with spindle speeds of 18,000-24,000 RPM depending on material hardness and desired edge quality. Pay particular attention to joint surfaces where platform and shelf meet, ensuring precise edge preparation with tight tolerances for professional-quality joints in the finished assembly. Consider edge treatments on shelf surfaces including eased edges or small bevels to provide refined appearance and comfortable interaction with functional shelf surfaces.
Material Compatibility
This template performs exceptionally well with granite, marble, quartzite, and engineered quartz materials in 2CM or 3CM thickness depending on desired visual weight and structural requirements. Book-matching or coordinating material between platform and shelf components creates cohesive visual integration that enhances the custom fabricated appearance. Engineered quartz provides excellent moisture resistance and consistent appearance ideal for functional shelf surfaces. Granite offers natural variation with proven durability for bathroom environments. Marble delivers timeless luxury though requires appropriate sealing for wet areas. Select materials with sufficient hardness to resist impact damage on shelf surfaces and adequate strength for cantilevered shelf configurations if design includes overhanging shelf elements.
Where to Buy
Stone materials for multi-piece tub platform systems are available through local stone yards, specialty countertop fabricators, and natural stone distributors with experience in coordinated component fabrication. Many fabrication shops offer material selection consultation to identify slabs with sufficient dimensions and visual characteristics for book-matched or coordinated multi-piece installations. National suppliers including MSI, Daltile, and regional stone importers maintain extensive inventory suitable for this application. Work with experienced fabricators who can provide professional cutting services, component coordination, and installation support for multi-piece architectural stone projects.
