Description
Create accessible luxury with our 72-inch freestanding tub platform featuring an elegant integrated step. This premium two-piece DXF template delivers precision cutting paths for fabricating an expansive 84x44-inch main platform paired with a proportional step component. The design addresses the practical challenges of oversized tub installations while maintaining the sophisticated aesthetic expected in high-end bathrooms. Perfect for aging-in-place remodels, multigenerational homes, and hospitality environments where accessibility meets luxury. The generous platform dimensions accommodate the largest residential freestanding tubs while the stepped entry eliminates the mobility barriers often associated with elevated stone installations. This template represents the intersection of universal design principles and premium materials, proving that accessible bathrooms need not compromise on visual impact or material quality.

Installation Overview
Begin with structural assessment to verify floor capacity for the combined 400+ pound weight of platform, step, tub, and users. Install the main platform on reinforced substrate with perimeter blocking. Position the step piece at the optimal access point with independent leveling to accommodate floor variations. Maintain consistent step height between 7-8 inches for safety and accessibility standards. Both components require marine-grade sealant application and 48-hour cure time. The large format demands professional installation with mechanical lifting assistance.
CNC Cutting Notes
Large-bed CNC capacity of 90x50 inches minimum is required for single-slab efficiency. Program separate toolpaths for platform and step with strategic nesting to minimize material waste. The step profile demands fine-radius edge tooling for user-safe surfaces—program multiple finishing passes at reduced feed rates. For waterjet applications, reduce cutting speed by 25 percent on step edges and transitions. Edge polishing should achieve minimum 180-grit on all horizontal surfaces, 120-grit on vertical faces. Consider chamfered edges on the step for enhanced safety.
Material Compatibility
Premium 3cm quartz is highly recommended for durability and slip resistance in this high-traffic application. Suitable materials include Caesarstone in honed or textured finishes, Cambria Matte collections, or Silestone Suede surfaces. Natural stone alternatives include leathered granite, honed quartzite, or textured basalt—avoid polished finishes on step surfaces. Both pieces should be cut from the same slab to ensure perfect color and vein matching. The large dimensions may require jumbo slabs from specialty suppliers.
Where to Buy
Source jumbo-format slabs from premium stone distributors or direct from quartz manufacturers offering extended sizes. Professional fabrication shops with large-bed CNC capability can produce both components from customer-supplied DXF files. Accessibility consultants and universal design specialists often maintain preferred fabricator relationships for projects with specific mobility requirements. Luxury bathroom showrooms typically partner with qualified stone fabricators for integrated project execution.
