Description
Range backsplashes with hood clearance notches accommodate ventilation systems while maintaining the protective and aesthetic benefits of stone wall coverings. This 24x36 inch template includes a precision-cut notch designed to provide clearance for range hood installations, allowing fabricators to create seamless integrations between stone backsplashes and overhead ventilation equipment. The hood notch eliminates interference while maximizing stone coverage in the cooking zone. Professional fabricators use this template when installing stone backsplashes in kitchens with wall-mounted or insert-style range hoods that require clearance at the backsplash surface. The 24-inch height provides substantial wall coverage while the integrated notch accommodates standard hood mounting configurations. The 36-inch width matches common range dimensions, ensuring proper proportion and coverage. This DXF template streamlines the fabrication of complex backsplash configurations, reducing field modifications and ensuring consistent professional results.

Installation Overview
Installing range backsplashes with hood notches requires careful coordination with ventilation equipment. Before cutting material, verify the exact location and dimensions of the range hood mounting system or ductwork that will pass through the notch area. The 24x36 template provides standard notch positioning, but field verification is essential to ensure proper clearance. Install the backsplash after confirming hood measurements, ensuring the notch aligns correctly with ventilation components. Apply adhesive carefully around notch areas, maintaining proper bonding while avoiding interference with hood mounting hardware. The notch design allows the backsplash to sit flush against walls while providing necessary clearance for ventilation equipment. Support the stone during curing, paying special attention to areas adjacent to the notch where material area is reduced.
CNC Cutting Notes
Programming hood notch backsplashes requires precise attention to notch dimensions and positioning. Import the DXF template into your CNC control software, verifying that notch coordinates align correctly with your machine's coordinate system. The notch cutout requires careful tool path programming to achieve clean edges and prevent chipping, particularly at interior corners where stress concentrations can occur. Program relief cuts at sharp corners to minimize stress during cutting and installation. Use appropriate tooling for both the perimeter cutting and notch details—typically 6mm to 10mm diameter bits for notch areas depending on corner radii. The 36x24 overall dimensions fit efficiently within standard slab layouts. Test programs in simulation mode to verify notch positioning and tool clearances before production cutting.
Material Compatibility
This hood notch template works with all standard countertop materials including granite, quartz, quartzite, and marble in 2cm and 3cm thicknesses. The notch creates stress points that require consideration when selecting materials—engineered quartz provides excellent structural consistency around cutout areas. Natural stones with pronounced veining should be oriented to avoid weak planes adjacent to the notch. Materials with high tensile strength perform best in configurations with cutouts. The 24x36 dimensions provide adequate material area around the notch to maintain structural integrity across stone types. When working with brittle materials like marble, consider additional care during handling and installation of pieces with notch cutouts.
