Description
This clean, professional DXF template provides the foundation for fabricating seamless 6-inch tall by 120-inch wide stone backsplashes without electrical outlet cutouts. Designed for modern kitchen installations where outlets are positioned elsewhere or incorporated into pop-up outlet systems, this template allows fabricators to create uninterrupted stone surfaces that showcase the natural beauty and pattern continuity of premium stone materials. The 120-inch length is particularly well-suited for long kitchen wall runs, island applications, or commercial installations requiring extended backsplash coverage. By eliminating outlet cutouts, this template maximizes material yield and reduces cutting complexity while creating a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that emphasizes the stone's inherent characteristics.

By eliminating outlet cutouts, this template maximizes material yield and reduces cutting complexity while creating a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that emphasizes the stone's inherent characteristics.
Installation Overview
Installation begins with comprehensive site measurement to verify that the 120-inch length matches the intended space and that no electrical outlets will interfere with the backsplash placement. Clean and level the wall surface, removing any old backsplash material, adhesive residue, or wallboard irregularities that could prevent proper adhesion. Load the DXF template into your CNC controller or bridge saw software, confirming all dimensions are accurate before cutting. Select appropriate cutting speeds and tooling based on your specific stone type, using diamond blades or CNC bits designed for the material hardness. After cutting, inspect all edges for chips or irregularities, addressing any issues before installation.
CNC Cutting Notes
Programming this straightforward rectangular template for CNC cutting requires attention to toolpath efficiency and material support over the long 120-inch span. Use a single-pass perimeter cutting strategy with appropriate tool diameter compensation to produce accurate finished dimensions. A 10-12mm diameter diamond bit works well for most applications, balancing cutting speed with edge quality. Program your lead-in and lead-out positions at a back corner to minimize visible tool marks on edges that will be exposed after installation. For the long edges parallel to the 120-inch dimension, maintain consistent feed rates between 100-150 inches per minute for granite and 120-180 inches per minute for quartz, adjusting based on material hardness and finish quality requirements.
Material Compatibility
This template accommodates the full range of natural and engineered stone materials used in contemporary countertop fabrication. Granite remains a popular choice for backsplashes, offering exceptional durability, heat resistance, and unique natural patterning that becomes particularly dramatic across the 120-inch uninterrupted surface. Engineered quartz provides consistent coloring and pattern repeatability, making it easier to match with quartz countertops while offering superior stain resistance and lower maintenance requirements. Marble creates stunning visual impact with its distinctive veining, especially when the 120-inch length allows for book-matched or sequentially cut slabs that display mirror-image patterns. Quartzite combines natural beauty with durability exceeding most granites, though its hardness requires appropriate cutting speeds and tooling.
