Description
This professional DXF template provides precise specifications for fabricating an extra-wide behind-sink stone backsplash measuring 36 inches in height by 84 inches in width, featuring a 24"x24" window cutout. The substantial 84-inch width makes this template ideal for commercial kitchen installations, luxury residential projects with oversized cabinetry, or designs where the backsplash extends significantly beyond the sink area to create dramatic visual impact and comprehensive wall protection. The 84-inch horizontal dimension accommodates the widest sink base cabinets, triple-bowl commercial sink configurations, or installations where design continuity across expansive wall sections is desired. The 24-inch square window opening provides adequate clearance for standard window frames while maintaining substantial stone coverage across the extended width, ensuring both structural integrity and balanced proportions. This configuration allows fabricators to showcase premium stone materials with dramatic veining or distinctive patterns across an impressive span. Engineered for advanced CNC fabrication workflows, this template integrates with large-format waterjet cutting systems, industrial-grade CNC bridge saws, and professional CAD/CAM software platforms. The file's dimensional precision ensures accuracy critical for installations requiring coordination with commercial-grade cabinetry, extensive countertop runs, and architectural window systems. Compatible with all stone materials including granite, quartz, marble, quartzite, and engineered surfaces, with particular considerations for the exceptional 84-inch width regarding material availability, equipment capacity, and handling requirements.

Installation Overview
Installation of this 84-inch extra-wide backsplash requires professional-level expertise, specialized equipment, and multiple installers. Begin with comprehensive field measurements and structural assessment to verify that wall framing can adequately support the exceptional weight of this large panel. The 84-inch width typically spans five or more wall studs at standard 16-inch spacing, providing excellent anchoring opportunities but requiring verification that the wall is consistently level and plumb across the entire span. Clean and prepare the wall surface meticulously across the full width. Apply premium construction adhesive or structural silicone formulated for heavy stone applications to the back of the panel, with concentrated coverage along perimeter edges and around the window cutout. The exceptional size and weight of this panel—potentially 150-200 pounds or more depending on material and thickness—requires a minimum of three installers and likely specialized lifting equipment such as suction cup lifters or custom support frames. Carefully position the backsplash, aligning the 24"x24" window cutout with the window frame while maintaining consistent gaps for caulking. The 84-inch width requires extensive temporary support systems with bracing points positioned at multiple intervals across the span to prevent any sagging or movement during the extended adhesive cure time required for panels this large. Maintain 1/8" to 1/4" gaps around the window perimeter and at all intersections with adjacent surfaces. Given the panel's exceptional dimensions, mechanical fasteners anchored into wall studs are not optional but essential—use L-brackets or French cleats at multiple points across the width, concealed behind the countertop edge. After complete adhesive cure and mechanical fastener installation, apply color-matched silicone caulk at all seams. Transport to the installation site requires specialized handling and potentially custom crating to prevent stress damage during vehicle movement.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC programming for this 84-inch template requires verification that your fabrication equipment can accommodate this exceptional width within its working envelope. Large-format waterjet systems and industrial CNC bridge saws can typically handle 84-inch dimensions, but operators must confirm their specific machine's maximum capacity before accepting jobs requiring this template. Not all fabrication shops have equipment capable of cutting panels this wide in a single piece. When positioning the template on your stone slab, material availability becomes a critical consideration—verify that your slab inventory includes pieces large enough to yield an 84-inch wide panel before committing to this fabrication. Position the template to optimize material usage while considering how vein patterns or distinctive features will display across the exceptional width. The 24"x24" window cutout should be programmed as a standard interior contour operation with corner entry points. For the 84-inch width, pay particular attention to machine rigidity and gantry accuracy across the full span—some CNC systems may experience slight accuracy variation at extreme dimensions, so verify cutting precision through test cuts if this is your first panel of this width on your equipment. Adjust cutting parameters according to your stone material, with appropriate feed rates and abrasive selection for waterjet systems. The exceptional panel length creates more potential for thermal expansion during cutting, making consistent, comprehensive coolant coverage absolutely essential. Monitor coolant delivery across the entire cutting path to prevent heat buildup and thermal stress. After cutting, inspect all edges thoroughly, with particular attention to the interior corners of the window opening. The 84-inch length presents significant handling challenges during removal from the cutting table—use appropriate lifting equipment with multiple support points and engage enough operators to prevent flexing that could initiate stress cracks. Some fabricators use custom lifting frames or overhead hoists for panels this large.
Material Compatibility
This 84-inch extra-wide backsplash template is compatible with all common stone materials, though the exceptional width creates significant considerations for material selection and availability. Granite provides excellent strength for the extended span and allows dramatic natural patterns to display across the impressive width. However, finding granite slabs large enough to yield 84-inch wide panels may require access to jumbo or extra-large slab inventory, which not all suppliers stock regularly. Quartz is available in larger format slabs that can more reliably accommodate this width, and its engineered consistency provides predictable strength across the span. Marble offers classic elegance but requires 3cm thickness for this width and may present challenges in sourcing slabs of adequate size. Quartzite performs well structurally but also faces availability challenges for slabs capable of yielding 84-inch widths. For this exceptional 84-inch width, 3cm thickness is strongly recommended regardless of material type. The extended span creates more potential for flex during handling, fabrication, and installation, making the additional rigidity of 3cm material essential for risk mitigation. While 2cm material can theoretically be used, it carries substantially higher risk of stress-related issues and should be avoided unless client budget constraints absolutely require it and all parties understand the increased risk. When selecting stone, verify actual slab dimensions in your inventory—many stone slabs are not large enough to yield 84-inch widths, and you may need to source specialty jumbo slabs or coordinate custom slab orders. Evaluate how the 24-inch window opening will interact with veining or patterns across the extended width, positioning the template to create visual balance while avoiding placement of major veins or defects in structurally critical areas.
