Description
This professional-grade DXF template provides precise specifications for fabricating a 30-inch wide by 30-inch tall backsplash designed specifically for installation behind cooking ranges. The template includes an integrated hood clearance notch that accommodates modern range hood installations while maintaining seamless stone continuity. Ideal for residential kitchen projects where homeowners want a continuous stone surface behind their cooktop, this template eliminates the guesswork in creating proper clearances for ventilation equipment. The hood notch feature ensures adequate space for range hood mounting hardware and ductwork while preserving the aesthetic appeal of natural stone backsplashes. Fabricators working with granite, quartz, marble, or other stone materials will find this template streamlines the layout process and reduces measurement errors. The standardized 30" x 30" dimension fits most residential range installations, making it a versatile choice for kitchen remodeling and new construction projects.

Installation Overview
Installation begins with field verification of the range dimensions and hood placement to confirm template compatibility. The backsplash should be installed after countertop fabrication is complete, with careful attention to alignment with existing cooking surfaces. Apply construction adhesive or thinset mortar to the wall surface, ensuring even coverage across the mounting area. Position the backsplash carefully, using spacers to maintain consistent gaps for caulking. The hood notch must align precisely with the ventilation system mounting points. Seal all edges with color-matched silicone caulk, paying special attention to the interface between the backsplash and countertop to prevent moisture infiltration.
CNC Cutting Notes
Import the DXF file into your CNC control software and verify all dimensions match the template specifications. Set tool paths for the perimeter cut first, followed by the hood notch interior cutout. Use appropriate bit selection based on stone material - diamond-coated router bits work well for most natural stones and engineered materials. Program cutting speeds between 60-120 inches per minute depending on material hardness and machine capabilities. Execute the hood notch cutout with multiple passes if needed to prevent chipping, starting with a smaller bit for tight corners. Maintain consistent coolant flow throughout the cutting process to minimize heat buildup and extend tool life. Verify final dimensions before removing the piece from the CNC bed.
Material Compatibility
This template works excellently with all common countertop materials including granite, quartz, quartzite, and marble. Engineered quartz surfaces provide the most consistent results due to their uniform density. Natural granite and quartzite may require adjusted cutting speeds based on hardness variations within the slab. Marble fabrication benefits from slower feed rates to prevent edge chipping. The template is also compatible with porcelain slabs and solid surface materials, though tooling requirements differ for each material type. Minimum recommended material thickness is 2cm, though 3cm provides better structural integrity for larger backsplash installations.
