Description
This standard 8-inch by 36-inch backsplash template provides fabricators with precise dimensions for creating clean, professional backsplashes in granite, marble, quartz, and other stone materials. The 36-inch width makes this template ideal for compact kitchen installations, bathroom vanities, wet bars, and smaller countertop sections where space efficiency is paramount. The 8-inch height represents the industry-standard backsplash dimension that protects walls from water damage and food splatter while maintaining aesthetic proportions. Designed specifically for stone fabrication workflows, this DXF template integrates seamlessly with CNC waterjet cutters, bridge saws with CAD capabilities, and manual templating processes. The clean geometry ensures minimal material waste while the standardized dimensions allow fabricators to pre-cut stock pieces for faster turnaround on common installation sizes. Whether you're working with natural stone slabs or engineered quartz materials, this template delivers the precision required for tight wall-to-counter seams and professional finished edges.

Installation Overview
Installing an 8x36-inch stone backsplash requires careful substrate preparation and proper adhesive selection. Begin by ensuring the wall surface is clean, dry, and level - any irregularities should be corrected with appropriate wall preparation compounds. Apply a high-quality stone adhesive or thin-set mortar designed for the specific material type you're installing. The compact 36-inch width often allows for single-piece installation, eliminating seams and reducing installation time. Position the backsplash piece carefully, ensuring consistent spacing along the countertop edge and maintaining level across the entire width. Use appropriate shims or spacers to achieve the desired reveal between the countertop surface and backsplash bottom edge, typically 1/8 to 1/4 inch depending on the installation specifications.
CNC Cutting Notes
When programming CNC waterjet or saw cutting equipment for this 8x36-inch backsplash template, verify that your material slab has sufficient clear area to accommodate the dimensions with appropriate edge clearance. Position the template to maximize yield from your stone slab, considering vein direction and pattern matching requirements for the overall installation. Set appropriate feed rates for your specific material - harder stones like granite may require slower cutting speeds than softer marble or limestone. The rectangular geometry of this template allows for efficient nesting when cutting multiple pieces from a single slab. Apply proper edge finishing after cutting, with options including polished, honed, or eased edges depending on the project specifications and the exposed edge locations.
Material Compatibility
This backsplash template works with all common countertop stone materials including granite, marble, quartzite, soapstone, and engineered quartz surfaces. The 8-inch height and 36-inch width dimensions are material-agnostic, though fabricators should consider material-specific properties when planning cuts and installations. Thinner materials (2cm) may require additional support considerations for longer spans, while standard 3cm thickness provides excellent rigidity for this size.
