Installation Overview
Installation begins with proper subfloor reinforcement to support the combined weight of the stone platform and water-filled tub. The platform should be set on a leveled mortar bed or adjustable pedestal system, with particular attention to drainage access beneath the tub. Plumbing connections must be completed before final platform placement. The 6-inch overhang on all sides provides visual balance and practical access for tub maintenance. Seal all edges with appropriate stone sealant and allow proper curing time before filling the tub.
CNC Cutting Notes
This template is optimized for 5-axis CNC fabrication with standard 3cm stone slabs. Program your waterjet or bridge saw with slow feed rates around tight radius corners to prevent chipping. The rectangular profile allows for efficient nesting on standard 120x75-inch slabs with minimal waste. Use progressive depth cuts for materials over 2cm thickness. Edge profiles can be added using separate toolpaths—consider bullnose, ogee, or chamfer details for visual refinement. Always account for material-specific shrinkage and expansion rates in final dimensions.
Material Compatibility
Recommended materials include quartz (Caesarstone, Cambria, Silestone), granite, marble, and quartzite at 2cm or 3cm thickness. Quartz offers superior durability and stain resistance for wet environments. Natural stone materials should be sealed with penetrating sealers rated for continuous water exposure. Avoid porous materials unless properly treated. The large single-piece design works best with engineered quartz for consistency and reduced seam requirements.
Where to Buy
Source materials from specialty stone distributors, quartz fabrication shops, or direct from manufacturers like Caesarstone, Cambria, and Silestone. Many fabricators offer custom platform fabrication services using customer-supplied DXF files. Local stone yards typically stock suitable slabs for immediate projects.
