Curved backsplashes
Radius work is where a fabricator's equipment shows: curved backsplashes, curved countertops, rounded bar tops and edges that follow a curve.
What it is
- Radius and curved backsplashes
- Curved countertops and bar tops, with the backsplash following the curve
- CNC machining for profiles
- Edge polishing and hand finishing
- Digital laser templating on site
Radius work is where a fabricator's equipment shows. A curved backsplash or a rounded counter edge has to be machined to a template of the room as it was built, then polished by hand so the curve has no flat spots.
We machine radius profiles on our own CNC and finish edges by hand in our Saint Cloud shop. It is among the details most fabricators quietly decline.
Questions
Curved backsplashes: what to ask.
Can you cut curved backsplashes and rounded edges?
Yes. Radius profiles are machined on our own CNC from a laser template of the room as it was built, then polished by hand.
Why is curved work uncommon?
It needs a precise template, a machine that can follow it and hand finishing so the curve has no flat spots. Many fabricators decline it.
