Description
This DXF template provides fabricators with precise cutting specifications for stone backsplashes installed behind kitchen sinks with window openings. The 30-inch height by 48-inch width creates a standard partial-height backsplash, while the 24x24-inch window cutout accommodates common kitchen window sizes. This configuration is one of the most frequently requested in residential kitchen renovations where natural light and outside views are prioritized. Designed for professional stone fabrication operations, this template eliminates the time-consuming process of field measuring and custom drawing each window backsplash. The standardized dimensions work with typical undermount sink installations ranging from 24 to 33 inches in width, while the square window cutout provides clean geometric lines that complement both traditional and contemporary kitchen designs.

Installation Overview
Accurate field measurement is critical for window backsplash installations. Measure the window rough opening dimensions, verifying that the 24x24-inch cutout will provide adequate coverage of the window frame while allowing the backsplash to sit flush against the wall. The backsplash typically extends 2-4 inches above the countertop, sealed with silicone to prevent water infiltration. Cut the material on CNC equipment with the window opening precisely centered or positioned according to field measurements. During installation, apply construction adhesive to the back of the stone, carefully aligning the window cutout before pressing the backsplash into place. Trim and casing around the window should be installed after the stone, creating a professional finished appearance.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program your CNC to cut the window opening with appropriate corner radius to prevent stress concentrations. Sharp 90-degree internal corners are prone to cracking, so use a minimum 1/4-inch radius tool for inside corners or plan for corner relief cuts. For 3cm material, use multiple depth passes rather than attempting full-depth cuts in a single pass. Recommended feed rates for granite and quartz are 80-120 inches per minute with spindle speeds of 12,000-18,000 RPM using diamond-coated tooling. Support the material adequately around the window opening to prevent sagging or vibration during cutting. After automated cutting, inspect all edges for chips or micro-fractures and polish as needed to achieve the specified edge profile.
Material Compatibility
This template is compatible with all standard stone countertop materials including natural granite, engineered quartz, marble, quartzite, soapstone, and solid surface products in 2cm or 3cm thicknesses. The 48-inch width fits efficiently within standard slab dimensions, typically eliminating the need for seams. For materials with dramatic veining like marble or quartzite, consider grain direction and pattern matching when positioning the template on the slab. Translucent materials may show window frame shadows, which should be discussed with clients during material selection.
