Description
This standard backsplash template provides precise fabrication specifications for an 8-inch tall by 60-inch wide stone backsplash without outlet cutouts, designed for clean, uninterrupted installations. This DXF file is ideal for countertop fabricators working on kitchen sections where electrical outlets are positioned elsewhere, installed via pop-up outlets in the countertop itself, or where the design calls for a seamless backsplash appearance. The template works with all natural stone materials including granite, marble, quartzite, and soapstone, as well as engineered quartz and porcelain slabs. The 60-inch width makes this template perfect for standard kitchen countertop sections, smaller preparation zones, peninsula installations, and specialty areas like coffee bars or baking stations. At 8 inches tall, this backsplash provides complete coverage behind standard 25-inch deep countertops while maintaining proportional aesthetics. The absence of outlet cutouts simplifies fabrication, reduces material stress points, and allows for dramatic veining patterns or bookmatched stone to be displayed without interruption. This template is particularly popular in modern minimalist kitchens, installations utilizing under-cabinet outlets, and applications where outlets are integrated into countertop surfaces rather than backsplashes.

Installation Overview
Installation of this standard backsplash is straightforward due to the absence of cutouts or penetrations. Begin by measuring your installation area carefully, ensuring the 60-inch width fits your countertop section with appropriate reveals at each end. Clean and level the wall surface thoroughly, removing any irregularities that could prevent proper adhesion. Apply a high-quality stone adhesive or thin-set mortar to the back of the backsplash using a notched trowel, ensuring complete coverage to prevent voids. Position the backsplash against the wall, maintaining a consistent 1/8-inch gap above the countertop surface to allow for caulking. Use temporary supports or shims to hold the backsplash in place while the adhesive cures. The simple rectangular geometry allows for quick installation with minimal risk of stress cracking during handling.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC programming for this standard backsplash is simplified by the rectangular geometry without outlet cutouts. Program your perimeter cut using a 10mm or 12mm diamond router bit with feed rates of 1000-1500mm/min depending on material hardness. The straight edges can be cut efficiently with minimal tool changes, making this template ideal for batch processing multiple pieces. For materials with dramatic veining or patterns, consider optimizing the nesting layout to maximize visual impact on the finished piece. Program corner radii of 2-3mm to prevent chipping during handling and installation. The absence of interior cutouts reduces cutting time and eliminates potential weak points, making this one of the most efficient backsplash profiles to produce.
Material Compatibility
This standard backsplash template is universally compatible with all countertop materials including granite, marble, quartzite, soapstone, slate, travertine, engineered quartz, and porcelain slabs. The 8-inch height works seamlessly with both 2cm and 3cm material thicknesses. The simple rectangular geometry without cutouts makes this template particularly suitable for fragile or highly veined materials that might be compromised by outlet openings. The uninterrupted surface area is ideal for showcasing bookmatched slabs, dramatic veining patterns, or specialty finishes. This template also works well with cost-effective material utilization strategies, as the rectangular shape can be efficiently nested on remnant pieces.
