Description
This specialized angled backsplash template provides precise geometry for corner transitions, angled walls, and contemporary kitchen designs that feature non-perpendicular surfaces. The 4-inch tall template is cut at a 45-degree angle across its 24-inch width, creating a professional transition piece that connects straight backsplash runs at inside or outside corners.\n\nModern kitchen designs increasingly feature angled walls, diagonal corner cabinets, or geometric design elements that require precisely cut stone transitions. This template eliminates the complexity of field measuring and hand-calculating angles, providing factory-tested geometry that ensures perfect miter joints and seamless corner installations. The 45-degree angle is one of the most common angles in residential and commercial construction, making this template essential for fabricators handling contemporary design projects.

Installation Overview
Verify the actual wall angle at your installation site before fabrication, as walls that appear to be standard angles may vary slightly from theoretical measurements. This 45-degree template provides the ideal starting point that can be fine-tuned if necessary. Position the angled template on your slab to optimize material usage - angled pieces often generate more waste than straight cuts, so careful layout is essential. The 4-inch height should align with adjacent straight backsplash sections to maintain consistent coverage. When installing, the angled piece typically sits between two straight runs, creating a clean corner transition. Test fit with adjacent pieces before final adhesive application to ensure tight miter joints.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program your CNC to handle the 45-degree angle carefully - angled cuts create different stresses on the material than straight perpendicular cuts. The template's geometry accounts for this, but your toolpaths should use conservative feed rates of 75-95 inches per minute when cutting the angled edges. Use sharp diamond tooling and multiple shallow passes rather than attempting to cut the full 4-inch height in one pass. The acute and obtuse angles created by the 45-degree cut may require special attention to prevent chipping at corner transitions. Orient your climb cutting direction to support the material at critical edges. The 24-inch width gives adequate material for stable fixturing during cutting - ensure the piece is properly clamped to prevent movement when cutting across the angle.
Material Compatibility
Compatible with granite, quartz, marble, and all engineered stone materials. The angled cut creates a longer exposed edge than straight cuts, so edge finish quality is especially important. Works best with 3cm material for strength at the angled intersections. The 4-inch height provides good structural stability even with the angled geometry. When working with directionally figured materials like linear-veined marble or book-matched granite, carefully consider grain direction - the 45-degree angle will intersect the grain differently than straight cuts, which can either enhance or detract from the overall appearance depending on orientation.
