Description
Designed for deeper countertops and commercial-grade installations, this 6-inch by 12-inch end cap sidesplash template accommodates oversized depth requirements while maintaining standard backsplash height. The increased 6-inch depth dimension suits countertops deeper than standard residential specifications, commonly found in commercial food service, laboratory environments, and custom residential designs featuring extended overhangs or specialized workspace requirements. This template ensures your end caps properly seal and finish countertops regardless of depth specifications. The wider depth also provides benefits for installations where thicker edge treatments extend the effective countertop depth beyond the base slab dimension. When fabricating countertops with substantial built-up edges, waterfall profiles, or decorative edge laminations, the 6-inch depth ensures your end cap fully covers the assembled thickness. Professional fabricators serving commercial clients and high-end residential markets will find this template essential for accommodating the diverse depth specifications encountered in custom stonework.

Installation Overview
Installation of wider end caps requires attention to the increased surface area and corresponding adhesive coverage. Apply construction adhesive across the full 6-inch depth using a trowel to create consistent thickness, avoiding gaps that could compromise bond strength. The wider footprint distributes weight more effectively but also means there's more surface area that must achieve solid contact with both the countertop edge and the wall. Check for voids behind the piece before the adhesive sets, using spacers or shims if necessary to compensate for wall irregularities. The 12-inch height pairs well with the wider depth, creating balanced proportions that don't appear visually distorted.
CNC Cutting Notes
The 6-inch width provides more substantial material to work with compared to 4-inch templates, resulting in a more stable workpiece during CNC machining. This additional width reduces vibration concerns and allows for more aggressive feed rates if your machine can accommodate them. However, the increased material dimension also means more cutting time and tool path length. Program efficient toolpaths that minimize air cutting and rapid moves. The wider dimension makes this template suitable for bookmatched or patterned materials where you want to showcase more of the stone's natural movement. Polish all edges thoroughly, and consider applying a more decorative edge profile to the exposed perimeter edges given the larger visual presence.
Material Compatibility
All countertop stone materials are compatible with this template, with the wider 6-inch depth particularly well-suited for materials with horizontal patterns or veining that benefits from extended visual width. The increased dimensions also make this template appropriate for thicker 3cm material where narrower end caps might appear disproportionately thin. Commercial applications often spec thicker, deeper materials that require these wider end cap dimensions. The heavier weight of 6-inch wide pieces in dense materials like granite requires proper adhesive selection and adequate curing time before subjecting the installation to stress.
