Description
The 4x48 inch clean horizontal 3-line backsplash template delivers professional-quality decorative patterns for stone fabrication projects. This DXF template features precision-engineered scored lines optimized for CNC machining on granite, marble, quartzite, and engineered stone surfaces. 4-inch height provides clean, contemporary proportions while 48-inch width reduces seam count for mid-sized runs. The horizontal 3-line pattern provides contemporary minimalist aesthetics with three evenly-spaced scored lines that create subtle depth and visual interest. This template brings that design aesthetic to modern stone fabrication with digital precision that ensures consistent pattern execution across multiple panels. The scored lines add architectural detail and visual interest to kitchen and bathroom backsplashes, transforming standard installations into custom design features.

Installation Overview
Installation begins with thorough surface preparation and accurate layout planning to ensure pattern consistency across all panels. The scored lines should be machined to a depth of 1-2mm using a CNC router with appropriate stone tooling. After fabrication, install the backsplash panel using thin-set mortar or adhesive formulated for the specific stone type and installation conditions. Maintain consistent spacing when installing multiple panels to ensure the clean horizontal 3-line pattern flows seamlessly. Use spacers during installation and verify level alignment before the adhesive sets. Consider electrical outlet placement during layout to minimize pattern interruption.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program your CNC machine with a 1/8 inch or 3mm router bit for crisp, clean scored lines. Set cutting depth between 1-2mm based on stone hardness and desired visual effect. Execute cuts in multiple shallow passes rather than single deep cuts to prevent chipping and material stress. Ensure lines are perfectly parallel by verifying CAM toolpaths and checking machine calibration. Coolant is essential for all stone types to manage heat generation and control dust. Adjust feed rates according to material density - harder stones like granite require slower speeds while marble and softer materials can be cut more quickly. Run toolpath simulation before cutting to verify complete pattern coverage.
Material Compatibility
This 4x48 template works excellently with granite, marble, and quartzite slabs that have uniform or subtly patterned surfaces. Engineered quartz is an ideal choice due to its consistent appearance and predictable cutting characteristics. The clean horizontal 3-line pattern shows best on stones with solid colors or gentle movement that doesn't compete with the geometric design. Highly figured natural stones with dramatic veining may obscure the pattern detail, though some combinations create interesting visual contrasts. Evaluate how the stone's natural characteristics will interact with the scored three horizontal lines to achieve your desired aesthetic.
