Description
The Curved Backsplash template featuring 6-inch height combined with 48-inch radius creates an ideal balance between substantial vertical presence and graceful, moderate curvature. This template serves fabricators seeking curved backsplash solutions that provide enhanced splash protection without sacrificing the elegant aesthetics of sweeping arc geometry. The 48-inch radius delivers smooth, flowing curves while the 6-inch height meets code requirements for cooking zones and high-splash areas. This specification proves particularly valuable in contemporary kitchens where curved design elements extend behind ranges and cooktops. The moderate radius works efficiently with standard slab dimensions while creating enough visual interest to serve as a focal point. CNC precision ensures the 48-inch radius maintains mathematical consistency across the full 6-inch height, producing professional results impossible to replicate through manual fabrication. Designers appreciate how this template bridges functional requirements with sophisticated curved aesthetics.

Installation Overview
Start by verifying that your installation space accommodates both the 48-inch radius arc span (approximately 50-52 inches of linear wall space) and the 6-inch vertical height. Import the DXF into your CNC software and position it for optimal material utilization, considering that the increased height requires more slab area. Program your CNC with cutting parameters suited to your stone material, maintaining consistent speeds through the curved profile. The combination of height and radius demands secure workholding across the full piece to prevent deflection or vibration. Consider the installation weight when planning lifting and positioning logistics. After CNC fabrication, the curved backsplash integrates with straight sections through the template's precise tangent geometry.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program continuous arc interpolation to maintain the 48-inch radius smoothly across the 6-inch height dimension. Use carbide or diamond tooling appropriate for your stone hardness, with spindle speeds typically in the 15,000-20,000 RPM range. Feed rates around 40-55 inches per minute through curved sections provide good balance between production speed and edge quality. The moderate radius combined with increased height creates manageable cutting forces but requires attention to tool rigidity. Ensure adequate support along the full 6-inch height to prevent deflection during edge profiling. Multi-pass operations work well for achieving final edge quality, with roughing passes removing bulk material and finishing passes producing final geometry.
Material Compatibility
All standard stone materials perform well with this 6-inch height and 48-inch radius combination. Quartz composites deliver exceptional results due to their homogeneous composition and consistent machining characteristics. Granite handles the moderate curve and increased height well, with the 48-inch radius reducing stress concentration that might cause issues in more brittle stone varieties. Marble machines smoothly at this radius with appropriate sharp tooling and conservative feed rates. Quartzite and ultra-compact surfaces remain manageable with diamond tooling. The 6-inch height provides sufficient material mass for structural stability while the moderate radius avoids the extreme bending stresses associated with tighter curves.
