Description
This professional DXF template provides precision cutting specifications for 36-inch by 48-inch stone backsplashes with integrated 20x24-inch window cutouts. Designed for professional stone fabrication shops working with granite, quartz, marble, and engineered materials, this template streamlines production for kitchen installations where natural light and functionality meet premium stone aesthetics. The 20x24-inch window opening accommodates standard residential window frames while the 36x48 overall dimensions provide taller full-coverage backsplash protection. This configuration is popular in standard kitchen layouts where compact windows create visual connections to outdoor spaces while the stone surface protects walls from water damage and cooking splatter.

Installation Overview
Installation begins with accurate field measurement of the window rough opening and wall conditions across the 48-inch span. The backsplash typically sits 2-4 inches above the countertop surface, sealed with silicone to prevent water infiltration. Apply construction adhesive in a strategic pattern that supports the material while avoiding visible squeeze-out around the window edges. Align the 20x24-inch window cutout precisely with the window frame before pressing the backsplash into position. Window trim and casing should be installed after the stone is fully set, creating professional finished reveals that conceal the clearance gap between stone and window frame.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program your CNC equipment with appropriate parameters for the stone material being fabricated. Use diamond-coated tooling for granite and quartz with spindle speeds of 12,000-18,000 RPM and feed rates of 70-110 inches per minute. The 20x24-inch window cutout requires radiused internal corners with minimum 1/4-inch radius to prevent stress cracking. For 3cm material, employ multiple depth passes rather than full-depth cuts to reduce tool loading and improve surface finish. Monitor cutting operation for vibration or chatter, adjusting feed rates as needed. After automated cutting, inspect all edges for chips or micro-fractures and polish to achieve specified edge profiles.
Material Compatibility
This template is compatible with all standard 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 seams. Material thickness selection should consider both structural requirements and aesthetic preferences, with 3cm providing enhanced durability for taller installations.
