Description
This full-height backsplash template delivers professional specifications for fabricating a 36-inch tall by 48-inch wide stone panel designed for installation behind residential and professional-style 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 48-inch width makes this template ideal for professional-style ranges and larger cooking surfaces, providing generous splash protection and commanding visual presence. Professional designers often specify full-height backsplashes behind ranges to showcase premium stone materials and create cohesive aesthetics with stone countertops. Fabricators will appreciate the clean, straightforward geometry of this template that maximizes material yield while delivering an impressive finished product. The 36" height extends to standard upper cabinet clearance, creating maximum visual impact, while the 48" width allows for dramatic veining displays in natural stone.

Installation Overview
Full-height backsplash installation at 36" x 48" dimensions 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 48-inch width should be confirmed against the actual range width and cabinet spacing. Wall preparation is critical - ensure the surface is flat, plumb, and free of obstructions across the entire mounting area. For installations this size, use construction adhesive applied in a continuous pattern with additional mechanical fastening if needed. Position the backsplash with at least two installers due to the weight and dimensions, particularly important given the substantial ${h}" height. Use temporary bracing at multiple points to support the piece while adhesive cures, typically 24-48 hours. Verify the piece is level and plumb before allowing the adhesive to set. Seal all perimeter edges with premium silicone caulk color-matched to the stone. The countertop-to-backsplash joint requires special attention - apply a continuous bead and tool it smooth to create a water-tight seal that prevents moisture infiltration behind the installation.
CNC Cutting Notes
Import the DXF file and confirm all dimensions in your CNC control software before generating toolpaths for this 36" x 48" piece. For a backsplash this size, proper material securing is essential - use vacuum hold-down or mechanical clamps at multiple points to prevent any movement during cutting. The 48-inch width represents a substantial piece that requires careful setup and adequate machine capacity. 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 specific machine capabilities. Consider programming a light scoring pass around the entire perimeter before full-depth cutting, particularly beneficial for brittle materials like marble given the larger dimensions. Ensure adequate coolant delivery across the entire cutting path - the extended cut time for larger pieces generates more heat that must be managed. Verify tool path efficiency to minimize non-cutting time while the material is under machine control. Run a dry simulation to verify tool clearances, confirm proper cut sequencing, and ensure the finished piece will remain properly supported after all cuts are complete.
Material Compatibility
This template delivers excellent results across all standard countertop materials including granite, quartz, quartzite, marble, and porcelain slabs. Engineered quartz surfaces provide the most consistent cutting characteristics due to their uniform density and engineered composition. Natural granite showcases beautiful veining patterns dramatically at this width, though cutting parameters may require adjustment based on hardness variations within individual slabs. Quartzite produces stunning installations but requires specialized diamond tooling and reduced feed rates due to its extreme hardness. Marble creates elegant backsplashes but demands careful handling during both fabrication and installation - use slower cutting speeds and increased coolant flow to prevent thermal cracking. Porcelain slabs work exceptionally well for this application, offering thin profiles that reduce weight which is beneficial for larger installations while maintaining excellent strength and durability. Ultra-compact surfaces like Dekton provide extreme durability ideal for the high-use area behind cooking surfaces. Material thickness typically ranges from 2cm to 3cm - 2cm is often preferred for larger pieces to manage weight, though 3cm provides maximum presence and durability. Always coordinate material thickness selection with the installer regarding weight considerations and wall mounting capabilities.
