Description
The 8 inch by 36 inch herringbone backsplash template provides a taller decorative pattern ideal for applications where extended vertical coverage is desired. This DXF template features the classic herringbone scored line pattern, engineered for precision CNC fabrication on natural and engineered stone surfaces. The increased 8-inch height offers more dramatic visual impact compared to standard 4-6 inch backsplashes. This template size works particularly well for smaller backsplash areas, bathroom applications, or as accent sections in larger kitchen installations. The 36-inch width is perfect for compact spaces, island sides, or range hood surrounds where a shorter run is needed. The herringbone pattern adds architectural sophistication without overwhelming smaller areas, making it an excellent choice for powder rooms, wet bars, and breakfast nooks.

Installation Overview
Surface preparation is critical for successful installation of taller backsplash panels. Ensure walls are flat and plumb, as any irregularities become more noticeable with increased height. The 8-inch dimension requires careful consideration of upper cabinet clearance and electrical outlet placement. Apply thin-set mortar or appropriate adhesive in a consistent layer, using spacers to maintain proper alignment during curing. For the herringbone pattern to read correctly, verify the template orientation before cutting - the pattern should flow in the intended direction based on your design intent. Multiple panels can be installed side-by-side, maintaining pattern continuity at vertical seams.
CNC Cutting Notes
The 8-inch height provides more surface area for the herringbone pattern, requiring careful toolpath planning to minimize cutting time while maintaining quality. Use a 1/8 inch router bit for standard applications, cutting to 1-2mm depth in multiple passes. Program your CNC to cut the pattern lines efficiently, optimizing tool movement to reduce air time between cuts. With the increased height, securing the slab properly becomes more important to prevent vibration during cutting. Check pattern alignment in your CAM software and run a simulation to verify all scored lines will be cut completely and accurately. Adjust feed rates based on your specific CNC machine capabilities and stone material properties.
Material Compatibility
The 8x36 template dimensions work well with most stone materials, though the increased height makes this size particularly suitable for stones with vertical veining or movement. Granite slabs with consistent patterns showcase the herringbone geometry effectively. Marble varieties with subtle veining create elegant combinations where the natural stone character complements the geometric pattern. Quartzite and engineered quartz are both excellent choices, offering durability and consistent appearance. For stones with dramatic veining, consider how the natural patterns interact with the herringbone design - sometimes the combination creates stunning results, while other times a simpler scored pattern might be more appropriate.
