Description
This professional-grade DXF template delivers precise specifications for fabricating a behind-sink stone backsplash measuring 36 inches high by 60 inches wide, incorporating a centered 30"x30" window cutout. Engineered for stone fabrication professionals, this template accommodates larger window openings commonly found in modern kitchen designs where expansive glass provides natural light and views over the sink workspace. The 30-inch square window cutout represents a popular mid-size window configuration, offering generous openness while maintaining sufficient stone coverage for structural integrity and aesthetic balance. This dimension works particularly well with contemporary farmhouse sinks and apron-front installations where the window becomes a focal point of the kitchen design. The template ensures precise alignment between the backsplash, countertop edge, and window frame for a seamless professional installation. Fabricators working with this template benefit from optimized material utilization and reduced cutting time. The DXF file integrates with all major CNC waterjet systems, bridge saws with digital controls, and CAD/CAM fabrication software platforms. By standardizing the design-to-production workflow, shops can increase throughput while maintaining the dimensional accuracy required for perfect field installations. The template is suitable for all common stone materials including granite, quartz, marble, quartzite, and engineered surfaces.

Installation Overview
Proper installation requires accurate field templating to verify window dimensions and positioning before cutting stone. After countertop installation, measure the window opening and confirm its centerline alignment with the sink base cabinet. Clean the wall surface thoroughly and apply a premium-grade construction adhesive or silicone to the back of the backsplash panel, concentrating product along edges and around the window perimeter. Position the backsplash carefully, ensuring the window cutout aligns with the frame opening and maintaining consistent gaps for caulking. Use temporary bracing or supports to hold the panel in place while adhesive sets. The 30-inch window opening provides ample clearance for most standard window frames; maintain a 1/8" to 1/4" gap around the cutout perimeter for flexible sealant application. After the adhesive cures fully, apply color-matched silicone caulk at all seams where stone meets wall, window casing, and countertop surfaces. For installations using heavier stone materials, consider supplemental mechanical fastening hidden behind the countertop edge.
CNC Cutting Notes
Programming CNC toolpaths for this template requires attention to material orientation and grain direction for optimal aesthetics. Position the stone blank to maximize yield from your slab inventory while maintaining vein continuity with adjacent countertop sections. The 30"x30" window cutout should be cut as an interior pocket using appropriate entry and exit points—corner starts minimize visible witness marks. For waterjet cutting, use garnet mesh sizes appropriate to your stone hardness and desired edge quality. Bridge saw operators should plan multi-pass cuts for thicker materials, ensuring consistent depth control throughout the operation. The 60-inch overall width fits within most standard CNC machine envelopes, but verify your specific machine's capacity before beginning fabrication. Maintain adequate coolant flow during cutting to prevent thermal stress and micro-cracking, particularly important around the interior corners of the window opening. After cutting, inspect all edges carefully and finish as required for your installation specifications—polished edges for exposed areas, honed for caulk joints.
Material Compatibility
This backsplash design accommodates the full range of natural and engineered stone materials used in contemporary fabrication. Granite delivers exceptional durability and unique natural patterns, with each panel offering one-of-a-kind aesthetics. Quartz provides consistent coloration and pattern distribution, ideal for modern minimalist designs requiring uniformity across multiple installations. Marble brings classic elegance with distinctive veining, though it requires more frequent sealing and careful maintenance in high-moisture environments. Quartzite combines marble's aesthetic appeal with granite's superior durability and heat resistance. Engineered compact surfaces offer extreme hardness and resistance to staining. The template works with both 2cm and 3cm material thicknesses, though 3cm is recommended for the 60-inch width to ensure adequate rigidity. When selecting stone, consider how the window cutout will affect vein pattern display—position the opening to showcase the material's most attractive features while maintaining structural integrity.
