Description
This professional wide-format DXF template provides precise specifications for fabricating a decorative stone backsplash measuring 4 inches in height by 60 inches in width, featuring the classic subway tile scored pattern. This extended-width template creates the timeless visual aesthetic of individual subway tiles through precision scored lines cut into a single continuous stone panel, delivering traditional subway tile appeal across an expansive span while maintaining the practical advantages of solid stone surfaces that eliminate grout maintenance and simplify cleaning. The 4-inch height represents standard decorative backsplash dimensions ideal for behind cooktops, ranges, or as accent borders, while the substantial 60-inch width accommodates wide commercial ranges, extensive cooktop configurations, or installations where the decorative backsplash extends across broader wall sections for enhanced visual impact and design continuity. The 60-inch dimension also coordinates well with common 60-inch sink base cabinets and standard kitchen design modules. The subway tile pattern consists of precision scored lines replicating the appearance of classic 3x6 inch subway tiles arranged in traditional running bond offset pattern, creating visual depth and textural interest across the extended width without the installation complexity and ongoing maintenance challenges associated with authentic tile and grout installations. Designed for CNC fabrication systems equipped with scoring capabilities, this template integrates with waterjet equipment using pressure reduction techniques for shallow groove cutting, CNC routers with V-bit or specialty scoring cutters, and dedicated stone scoring tools. The file ensures dimensional accuracy for creating evenly spaced, consistently deep scored lines across the full 60-inch width that deliver authentic subway tile aesthetics while preserving the structural integrity and maintenance ease that makes continuous stone backsplashes superior to traditional tile for many residential and commercial applications.

Installation Overview
Installation of this 60-inch wide scored pattern backsplash requires careful attention due to the extended width combined with the decorative scored surface. Clean the wall surface meticulously across the full 60-inch span and verify it is consistently level—any wall irregularities become more apparent across extended widths. Apply construction adhesive or premium silicone to the back of the panel, using controlled application that provides adequate coverage without excessive product that might squeeze out and interfere with the scored pattern on the front face. The 60-inch width will require two installers for safe handling and accurate positioning, even though the modest 4-inch height keeps overall weight manageable. Carefully position the backsplash with particular attention to level alignment, as the scored horizontal lines create strong visual reference points that make any tilt or angle immediately and obviously visible. The extended width may span multiple wall studs, providing good support opportunities. Ensure the panel sits flat against the wall across the entire 60-inch width without gaps or high spots. Maintain consistent gaps at all perimeter edges for proper caulk joint formation. After adhesive cure is complete, apply color-matched silicone caulk meticulously at all seams where stone meets adjacent surfaces, countertops, or side walls. The scored pattern on the front face requires no special post-installation finishing—the lines should remain clean and crisp as fabricated. Despite the decorative scored surface, the shallow depth of scoring means this panel behaves structurally like solid backsplashes, requiring only standard adhesive coverage patterns for secure long-term installation. The scored pattern delivers the classic visual appeal and textural interest of traditional subway tile while completely eliminating the grout line maintenance burden that makes authentic tiled installations more demanding over time.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC programming for this 60-inch scored pattern template requires coordinating two distinct operation categories: the exterior profile cut that defines the 4"x60" panel boundaries, and the interior scoring operations that create the decorative subway tile visual effect. For waterjet fabrication, execute the exterior profile using standard cutting parameters appropriate to your stone material type, then program scored pattern lines using significantly reduced pressure settings—typically 30-50% of normal through-cutting pressure combined with proportionally slower traverse speeds to achieve consistent shallow V-groove scoring of 1-2mm depth rather than complete through-cuts. The 60-inch width requires attention to maintaining consistent scoring depth across the full span, as some waterjet systems may show slight pressure variation at extended distances from the cutting head home position. CNC routers equipped with V-bit cutters provide excellent scored pattern results, with precise depth control settings that create visually distinct lines without excessive material removal. Program the subway tile scored pattern as continuous horizontal and vertical toolpaths that intersect to form the tile grid appearance, rather than programming individual tile rectangles which can create inconsistencies at line intersections. The 60-inch width fits within most standard CNC equipment working envelopes, though operators should verify their specific machine capacity. Maintain adequate coolant application throughout all operations, though the reduced pressure used for scoring generates significantly less heat than through-cutting operations. After completing all cutting and scoring operations, conduct thorough inspection of the scored pattern for consistency in depth and width across all lines throughout the full 60-inch span—any variations will be visually apparent in the installed backsplash. The modest 4-inch height makes post-fabrication handling straightforward despite the extended width. Some fabricators apply selective finishing techniques such as differential polishing or honing to scored lines versus panel surfaces to enhance visual contrast and emphasize the subway tile appearance.
Material Compatibility
This scored subway tile pattern template is fully compatible with all common stone materials used in backsplash fabrication, with material selection influencing both the immediate visual impact and long-term performance of scored lines across the extended 60-inch width. Granite provides excellent performance characteristics for scored patterns, maintaining crisp line definition through years of kitchen use and offering superior resistance to wear, heat, and staining. Granite's natural grain patterns and color variations can significantly enhance the subway tile aesthetic, with darker granite colors displaying scored lines more prominently as kitchen lighting interacts with the three-dimensional groove geometry. Quartz delivers highly consistent coloration and clean, precise scoring characteristics across the full 60-inch width, though fabricators should be aware that some heavily filled or dramatically patterned engineered quartz formulations may show slight visual variation in scored line appearance depending on filler particle distribution within the material matrix. Marble creates classic, timeless subway tile aesthetics with elegant simplicity and accepts scored lines beautifully when CNC parameters are properly optimized, though the inherently softer material characteristics require more carefully controlled cutting parameters to prevent edge chipping or micro-fracturing at scored line intersections, particularly where horizontal and vertical scores cross. Quartzite successfully combines marble's visual elegance and veining beauty with granite-like hardness and durability, maintaining crisp scored line definition under long-term kitchen use including regular cleaning and occasional impacts. Standard 2cm thickness is structurally adequate for this 4-inch height panel even across the extended 60-inch width, as shallow scored patterns create minimal structural compromise to the continuous stone panel. 3cm thickness can be specified if matching adjacent countertop thickness, accommodating specific client preferences, or if fabricators prefer additional material mass for handling confidence during the extended-width fabrication and installation process. When selecting stone and positioning the template on your slab, carefully consider how the material's natural veining or pattern characteristics will interact visually with the orthogonal scored subway tile grid across the full 60-inch width—some fabricators deliberately align natural veining directions with scored line orientations to create unified visual flow, while others intentionally create visual contrast between organic natural patterns and geometric scored patterns for enhanced visual interest and design complexity.
