Description
This full-height backsplash template delivers professional specifications for fabricating a 30-inch tall by 36-inch wide stone panel designed for installation behind residential cooking ranges. The full-height designation means this backsplash extends from the countertop to the typical upper cabinet height, creating a dramatic, uninterrupted stone surface that serves as a focal point in kitchen designs. The 36-inch width makes this template ideal for standard 30-inch range installations with additional coverage extending beyond the cooking surface edges. This extra width provides enhanced splash protection and creates better visual proportion when the range sits between cabinet sections. Professional designers often specify full-height backsplashes behind ranges to showcase premium stone materials and create a cohesive aesthetic with stone countertops. Fabricators will appreciate the clean, straightforward geometry of this template that maximizes material yield while delivering an impressive finished product. The larger format allows for dramatic veining patterns in natural stone or full display of engineered quartz designs. This template is particularly popular for kitchen remodels where homeowners want to elevate the cooking area into a design statement.

Installation Overview
Full-height backsplash installation requires careful planning and field verification before fabrication begins. Measure the actual distance from countertop to upper cabinet bottom, accounting for any ceiling or soffit variations that might affect the final height. The 30-inch dimension should be confirmed to ensure proper fit in the available space. Wall preparation is critical - ensure the surface is flat, plumb, and free of obstructions. For installations this large, mechanical fastening with construction adhesive is recommended. Apply adhesive in a continuous bead pattern with additional dots for full coverage. Position the backsplash with at least two installers due to the weight and size. Use temporary bracing to support the piece while adhesive cures, typically 24-48 hours. Seal all perimeter edges with premium silicone caulk, color-matched to the stone. The countertop-to-backsplash joint is particularly critical and should receive extra attention during sealing.
CNC Cutting Notes
Import the DXF file and confirm all dimensions in your CNC control software before generating toolpaths. For a piece this size, proper material securing is essential - use vacuum hold-down or mechanical clamps at multiple points to prevent any movement during cutting. Program perimeter cuts with conservative feed rates, especially at corners where stress concentrations can cause chipping. A 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch diameter bit works well for most applications, though bit selection should account for material hardness and machine capabilities. Consider programming a light scoring pass around the perimeter before full-depth cutting, particularly for brittle materials like marble. Ensure adequate coolant delivery across the entire cutting path, as the extended cut time for larger pieces generates more heat. Run a dry simulation to verify tool clearances and confirm the finished piece will remain properly supported after all cuts are complete.
Material Compatibility
This full-height backsplash template works beautifully with all common countertop materials. Granite and quartzite showcase their natural veining patterns dramatically at this size, making each installation unique. Engineered quartz provides consistency and allows for matching the backsplash perfectly to countertop selections. Marble creates stunning installations but requires careful handling during fabrication and installation due to its softer nature. Porcelain slabs are increasingly popular for full-height applications, offering thin profiles that reduce weight while maintaining strength. Ultra-compact surfaces like Dekton work exceptionally well for this application, providing extreme durability for the high-use area behind cooking surfaces. Material thickness can range from 2cm for most applications to 3cm for maximum durability and presence, though the larger size of this template makes weight a consideration during installation.
