Description
Offering balanced proportions for contemporary installations, this 6-inch by 6-inch end cap sidesplash template provides the perfect solution for deeper countertops paired with minimal-height backsplashes. The square dimensions create visual harmony and structural stability while accommodating oversized countertop depths without requiring the extended height of taller templates. This template is ideal for modern minimalist kitchens where low-profile backsplashes or painted accent walls replace traditional full-height stone treatments, yet the countertop depth exceeds standard residential specifications. The symmetrical 6x6-inch format creates an end cap with substantial presence despite the compact height, making it particularly well-suited for commercial applications like reception desks, retail display counters, and hospitality environments where deeper work surfaces require proper finishing but full backsplash coverage isn't needed. Fabricators working on contemporary design projects will appreciate how these proportions complement modern aesthetics while providing the functional protection and refined detail that distinguishes professional stonework.

Installation Overview
The balanced square proportions make installation straightforward and stable compared to narrower or taller alternatives. The 6-inch depth provides substantial contact area with the countertop edge, while the modest 6-inch height keeps the center of gravity low for excellent stability. Apply construction adhesive across the full back surface, using adequate coverage for the increased surface area compared to 4-inch templates. The square format naturally resists tipping during installation, though you should still check plumb and use temporary support if needed. The moderate weight allows confident handling while still requiring proper adhesive curing before subjecting the installation to stress. Seal all perimeter joints with color-matched flexible caulk for a refined finished appearance.
CNC Cutting Notes
The square 6x6-inch format provides excellent stability during CNC machining, with sufficient material in both directions to resist vibration and maintain rigid workholding. The balanced dimensions allow standard feed rates and cutting speeds without the concerns about deflection that narrow pieces present. This size is ideal for utilizing remnant material from larger fabrication projects, maximizing slab yield and reducing waste. Program consistent edge treatments on all four perimeters, as the square format means all edges have equal visual importance. The moderate size cuts quickly and efficiently, making these pieces economical to produce. Consider nesting multiple pieces when cutting to further improve material utilization and throughput.
Material Compatibility
All countertop stone materials work excellently with this template, with the square format particularly well-suited for materials with balanced patterns or symmetrical design elements. The 6x6-inch dimensions showcase stone character effectively without requiring large perfect areas of material, making this size forgiving for materials with occasional natural characteristics. The moderate dimensions work equally well in 2cm or 3cm thickness, providing flexibility in material selection. Weight in 2cm granite is approximately 6-8 pounds, manageable for single-person installation while still substantial enough to feel premium. The square format looks intentional and designed rather than like a compromise, making it an excellent choice for contemporary installations.
