Description
This precision-engineered DXF template provides fabricators with an accurate cutting pattern for stone backsplashes installed behind cooking ranges with overhead ventilation hoods. The 36-inch height by 48-inch width dimensions accommodate standard range installations, while the integrated hood clearance notch ensures proper fitment around wall-mounted range hood supports and mounting hardware. Designed for professional stone fabrication shops working with granite, quartz, marble, and engineered stone materials, this template streamlines the production process for one of the most common kitchen backsplash configurations. The hood notch feature eliminates time-consuming manual measurements and reduces material waste by providing exact cutout specifications that account for ventilation system clearances.

This precision-engineered DXF template provides fabricators with an accurate cutting pattern for stone backsplashes installed behind cooking ranges with overhead ventilation hoods. The 36-inch height by 48-inch width dimensions accommodate standard range installations, while the integrated hood clearance notch ensures proper fitment around wall-mounted range hood supports and mounting hardware. Designed for professional stone fabrication shops working with granite, quartz, marble, and engineered stone materials, this template streamlines the production process for one of the most common kitchen backsplash configurations. The hood notch feature eliminates time-consuming manual measurements and reduces material waste by providing exact cutout specifications that account for ventilation system clearances.
Installation Overview
Installation begins with precise measurement of the range width, hood mounting hardware position, and any electrical boxes or gas lines that may affect placement. The backsplash typically sits 2-4 inches above the countertop surface to allow for proper sealing. Using this template, fabricators cut the material on CNC equipment, then finish edges according to customer specifications. During installation, the hood notch aligns with mounting brackets, allowing the backsplash to sit flush against the wall while providing necessary clearance for the ventilation system. Proper adhesive application and seam sealing ensure water resistance and long-term durability in high-heat cooking environments.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program your CNC router with feed rates appropriate for the stone material density. For granite and quartz, use diamond-coated bits with speeds between 10,000-18,000 RPM and feed rates of 60-120 inches per minute. The hood notch requires careful attention to inside corners, use radius tooling to prevent stress fractures. Support the material with vacuum tables or sub-tables to minimize vibration during cutting. For thicker slabs (3cm), make multiple depth passes rather than full-depth cuts. Verify dimensional accuracy by performing a dry-fit check before final installation, particularly around the hood notch area where tolerances are critical.
Material Compatibility
This template works with all standard countertop materials including natural granite, engineered quartz, marble, quartzite, soapstone, and solid surface materials. Material thickness typically ranges from 2cm to 3cm depending on structural requirements and aesthetic preferences. Harder materials like granite and quartzite require carbide or diamond tooling, while softer stones like marble may be cut with standard carbide bits. The 48-inch width fits within standard slab dimensions, minimizing material waste and eliminating the need for seams in most installations.
