Transform ordinary bathroom installations into extraordinary spa-like environments with our engineered tub platform template featuring integrated LED recess channels designed for 60-inch freestanding bathtubs. This innovative architectural DXF template provides fabricators with precision patterns that incorporate concealed LED lighting channels directly within the stone platform structure, enabling ambient lighting effects that enhance bathroom ambiance while highlighting the sculptural qualities of both tub and platform. The recessed channels accommodate LED strip lighting, creating dramatic uplighting or perimeter illumination that elevates the bathing experience beyond functional to experiential. Measuring 72 inches in length and 40 inches in width, this single-piece platform template accommodates standard 60-inch by 30-inch freestanding tubs while integrating strategic LED recess channels that simplify lighting installation and create sophisticated illumination effects. Perfect for luxury residential projects emphasizing wellness and relaxation, boutique hotel bathrooms requiring distinctive ambiance, spa-inspired installations, and contemporary bathroom designs where lighting serves as both functional and sculptural design element.
Installation Overview
Installation of LED-integrated platforms requires coordination among stonework, electrical rough-in, and lighting system components to achieve safe, code-compliant, and visually refined results. Begin with electrical planning to determine LED power supply locations, control systems, and wiring pathways to recess channels. The platform installation follows standard procedures with additional attention to protecting LED channels during handling and placement. Position the fabricated platform to verify recess channel alignment with planned lighting runs and electrical connections. Install appropriate waterproofing membranes around recess areas while maintaining electrical code clearances and moisture protection requirements. Secure the platform using suitable stone adhesive, ensuring channels remain accessible for LED installation. Following platform placement, install LED strip lighting within recess channels according to manufacturer specifications, incorporating appropriate moisture-rated components and proper electrical connections through licensed electrical contractors.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC fabrication of LED recess channels requires precise depth control, appropriate bit selection, and careful programming to achieve recesses that accommodate LED strips while maintaining platform structural integrity. Program recess depths typically between 0.25 to 0.75 inches depending on LED strip profile dimensions and platform material thickness. Use straight flute bits in appropriate diameter for recess width, generally 0.5 to 1.0 inch to accommodate LED strips plus minimal installation clearance. Execute recess cutting in multiple passes with depth increments of 0.125 to 0.25 inches to achieve smooth recess surfaces without chipping or fracturing. Program feed rates between 80-100 IPM with spindle speeds of 18,000-22,000 RPM for most stone materials. Ensure recesses maintain consistent depth throughout their length with smooth transitions at corners or direction changes. Consider chamfering recess edges slightly to eliminate sharp corners and facilitate LED strip installation. Plan recess routing to optimize lighting effect distribution while avoiding areas of critical structural load.
Material Compatibility
This template performs optimally with granite, quartzite, and engineered quartz materials in 3CM thickness to provide adequate depth for LED recesses while maintaining robust structural performance. Translucent or semi-translucent materials including onyx, backlit quartzite, or light-colored marble can create particularly dramatic lighting effects as light transmits through or illuminates stone characteristics. Darker materials create bold contrast with LED lighting for striking visual impact. Engineered quartz offers consistent density and superior moisture resistance ideal for applications integrating electrical components in wet environments. Consider material color and finish in relation to planned lighting color temperature and intensity to optimize desired ambiance effects. Polished finishes reflect and amplify LED lighting while honed surfaces create softer, more diffused illumination character.
Where to Buy
Stone materials suitable for LED-integrated platforms are available through local stone yards, specialty countertop fabricators, and natural stone distributors with experience in custom architectural stonework. Consult with fabricators equipped to handle specialized routing operations and technology-integrated stone installations. Leading suppliers including MSI, Arizona Tile, and regional stone distributors maintain inventory of appropriate materials. Many professional fabrication shops offer design consultation services to optimize LED recess placement, material selection, and lighting integration for your specific project requirements. LED lighting components are available through specialty lighting retailers, electrical supply distributors, and online sources specializing in architectural LED systems.
