Create refined bathroom installations with our professionally engineered tub platform template featuring an elegant oval cutout designed for 60-inch freestanding bathtubs. This sophisticated architectural DXF template provides fabricators with precision patterns for stone platforms that incorporate graceful oval recesses, allowing tubs to nestle partially within the platform structure for integrated appearance and enhanced design cohesion. The flowing oval geometry creates softer visual transitions than rectangular cutouts while providing structural support and establishing elegant relationships between tub and platform elements. Measuring 72 inches in length and 40 inches in width, this single-piece platform template accommodates standard 60-inch by 30-inch freestanding tubs with an oval cutout that coordinates with tub base geometry for seamless integration. The oval configuration works beautifully with both contemporary and transitional bathroom designs, offering versatility across diverse aesthetic preferences. Perfect for luxury residential projects emphasizing custom details, spa-inspired bathroom renovations, boutique hospitality installations, and refined bathroom designs where thoughtful integration between architectural elements elevates the overall composition.
Installation Overview
Installation of oval cutout platforms requires careful coordination between tub geometry and oval recess alignment to achieve proper fit and visual integration. Begin with precise template positioning to center the oval cutout relative to final tub placement, accounting for tub base dimensions and ensuring adequate structural support around the cutout perimeter. The oval geometry demands attention during dry-fitting to confirm tub seating depth within the cutout, verifying proper clearance, drainage access, and stable tub support on platform surfaces. Position the platform ensuring levelness across the entire surface with particular attention to areas surrounding the oval cutout where tub weight concentrates. Secure using appropriate stone adhesive with coverage patterns optimized for load distribution around the cutout opening. Following platform installation and adhesive curing, carefully position the tub within the oval recess, confirming proper seating, drain alignment, and visual centering within the oval geometry.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC fabrication of oval cutouts requires precise elliptical toolpath programming to achieve smooth, consistent oval geometry without flat spots or irregularities. Use appropriate ball nose bits for the oval curve, typically 3/8-inch to 1/2-inch diameter depending on cutout radius specifications and desired edge smoothness. Program the oval using CAD ellipse functions rather than approximating with multiple arcs to ensure true oval geometry throughout. Execute cutting in multiple depth passes with increments of 0.125 to 0.25 inches to prevent chipping along the interior oval edge. Program feed rates between 80-100 IPM with spindle speeds of 18,000-22,000 RPM for most stone materials. Pay careful attention to maintaining consistent edge quality around the complete oval perimeter, as variations become readily apparent in the flowing curve. Plan comprehensive edge finishing including routing, polishing, and easing along the oval interior to achieve refined presentation where visible around tub placement. Verify oval dimensions match tub base geometry allowing appropriate clearance for installation while minimizing visible gaps.
Material Compatibility
This template performs exceptionally with granite, marble, quartzite, and engineered quartz in 3CM thickness to provide adequate structural support around the oval cutout opening. The oval cutout showcases material veining and patterns beautifully as the flowing interior edge reveals material characteristics from varying angles. Book-matched or coordinated slabs create particularly elegant effects where veining flows continuously around the oval geometry. Engineered quartz offers consistent appearance with superior moisture resistance ideal for areas around tub placement. Natural stone materials including marble or quartzite provide organic beauty that complements the flowing oval form. Select materials with sufficient structural integrity to support cutout geometry without risk of fracture along the curved interior edge, avoiding highly fissured or weak materials in critical stress areas.
Where to Buy
Stone materials suitable for oval cutout platforms are available through local stone yards, specialty countertop fabricators, and natural stone distributors with experience in custom architectural stonework. Consult with fabricators equipped with CNC capabilities for precision oval cutting and experienced in complex cutout fabrication. Leading suppliers including MSI, Daltile, Arizona Tile, and regional stone distributors maintain inventory of appropriate materials in required thicknesses. Many professional fabrication shops offer design consultation to optimize oval cutout dimensions, material selection, and installation approach for successful tub platform integration.
