Description
The 6 inch by 60 inch herringbone backsplash template delivers a timeless decorative pattern for stone fabrication projects. This DXF template features precision-engineered scored lines that create the classic herringbone pattern, adding visual interest and architectural detail to kitchen and bathroom backsplashes. The template is optimized for CNC machining on granite, marble, quartzite, and engineered stone surfaces. Herringbone patterns have been used in architecture for centuries, offering a sophisticated alternative to standard horizontal or vertical designs. This template brings that traditional elegance to modern stone fabrication, with digital precision that ensures consistent pattern alignment across multiple panels. The 60-inch width accommodates standard kitchen backsplash runs, while the 6-inch height works perfectly for typical backsplash installations between countertops and upper cabinets.

Installation Overview
Installation begins with proper surface preparation and layout planning to ensure pattern continuity across seams. The scored lines should be machined to a depth of 1-2mm using a CNC router with appropriate tooling for the stone material. After fabrication, the backsplash panel is installed using thin-set mortar or adhesive suitable for the specific stone type. Pattern alignment is critical when installing multiple panels - dry fit pieces before final installation to verify the herringbone pattern flows seamlessly. Grouting may be applied if desired, though many installations leave the scored pattern as-is for a clean, modern appearance.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program your CNC with a small-diameter router bit, typically 1/8 inch or 3mm, for crisp pattern definition. Set cutting depth between 1-2mm depending on stone hardness and desired visual effect. Use multiple shallow passes rather than a single deep cut to prevent chipping and reduce stress on the material. Coolant is recommended for all stone types to manage heat and dust. Feed rates should be adjusted based on material density - harder stones like granite require slower speeds while softer marble can be cut more quickly. Verify pattern alignment in your CAM software before cutting to ensure the herringbone angles are correct.
Material Compatibility
This template works exceptionally well with granite, marble, and quartzite slabs that have uniform patterns or colors. Engineered quartz is also an excellent choice for herringbone patterns due to its consistent appearance. Highly figured natural stones can work but may obscure the pattern detail. Materials with strong veining should be evaluated for how the natural patterns interact with the scored herringbone lines. For best results, choose stones with subtle movement or solid colors that allow the geometric pattern to be the focal point.
