Description
Create stunning full-height stone installations with our maximum-height end cap sidesplash template designed for dramatic contemporary kitchens and commercial applications. This 4-inch by 22-inch DXF file serves installations where backsplashes extend to upper cabinet height or beyond, creating the floor-to-ceiling stone features increasingly popular in luxury residential and hospitality design. The 22-inch vertical dimension provides coverage for the most ambitious backsplash treatments, ensuring your end caps match the scale and impact of your primary installation. This extended-height template is essential for fabricators specializing in high-end custom work where stone is used as a primary design element rather than just a functional surface. The tall proportions allow continuous stone coverage that makes spaces feel more expensive and thoughtfully detailed. Whether you're finishing a chef's kitchen with backsplash that rises to meet ventilation hoods or creating a feature wall in a commercial environment, this template ensures your vertical transitions are executed with the same precision as your horizontal surfaces.

Installation Overview
Installing 22-inch tall end caps requires methodical technique and appropriate structural support. Before beginning, verify the wall substrate behind the installation area can support the weight, installing additional blocking between wall studs if necessary. Apply construction adhesive in a full coverage pattern, not spots, using a trowel to create consistent adhesive thickness. The tall, narrow proportions make these pieces particularly susceptible to tipping during curing, so create temporary bracing that holds the piece absolutely plumb for 24-48 hours. Check level both vertically and across the face to ensure the piece doesn't lean forward or backward. Seal all perimeter joints with color-matched silicone after the adhesive has fully cured.
CNC Cutting Notes
The 4-inch by 22-inch aspect ratio creates unique challenges in CNC machining due to the narrow, tall dimensions. Secure the material with vacuum hold-down plus mechanical clamps at minimum three points along the 22-inch length to prevent harmonic vibration that appears as chatter marks on edges. Reduce feed rates by 20-25% compared to shorter pieces to minimize deflection and maintain edge quality. When using waterjet cutting, program a lead-in point that won't be visible in the final installation, as the narrow width limits options for hiding entry marks. Polish all four edges thoroughly, as all will be at least partially visible in typical installations. The narrow width makes these pieces ideal for remnant utilization, reducing material waste.
Material Compatibility
All countertop stone materials are compatible with this template, though the significant height makes material selection particularly important for visual impact. Marble with strong vertical veining creates dramatic effects at this scale, while granite with directional patterns benefits from the extended height to showcase the material's natural movement. Engineered quartz works exceptionally well, as the consistent pattern prevents visual termination that can occur with natural stone. The added height increases piece weight, making secure installation absolutely critical for denser materials. A 4x22-inch piece of 3cm granite can exceed 15 pounds, requiring appropriate adhesive coverage and curing time.
