Description
This 2x2 grid feature wall template in 30x60 inch format with 1/4-inch grout spacing creates medium to large-scale geometric wall installations where prominent grout lines serve as significant design elements that emphasize the grid structure and create strong visual rhythm. The template divides the panel into four quadrants measuring approximately 14.875 x 29.875 inches each, with the quarter-inch grout joints providing clear geometric articulation that works beautifully in contemporary and modern interior design contexts. The 30x60 inch overall dimension offers substantial coverage area while the defined grid pattern prevents the scale from appearing monotonous, making this format ideal for feature walls in residential living spaces, commercial environments, hospitality design, retail installations, and professional office settings. The prominent grout spacing allows for creative color coordination where grout can either complement the stone selection for subtle geometric interest or contrast dramatically for bold modern statements.

Installation Overview
Installation of 30x60 inch grid panels with 1/4-inch grout spacing requires systematic approach and precise spacing control to achieve consistent geometric appearance across the four-panel assembly. The wider grout joints compared to 1/8-inch versions provide slightly more installation tolerance while still demanding careful alignment to maintain parallel grid lines and level panel positioning. Use professional-grade tile spacers specifically sized to 1/4-inch, establish accurate laser level reference lines for the overall panel footprint, and work methodically from fixed reference points to ensure grid consistency throughout the installation. The prominent grout joints require proper filling techniques including adequate packing to avoid voids, consistent tooling for uniform surface finish, and sufficient curing time before final cleaning. Consider grout color as a primary design element, as the 1/4-inch width makes grout highly visible and influential to the overall aesthetic character of the installation.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC fabrication for the 30x60 inch format with 1/4-inch grout spacing produces four panels measuring approximately 14.875 x 29.875 inches from a single 30x60 inch slab section when possible to maintain color and pattern consistency across the grid assembly. Configure your CNC router with appropriate diamond tooling for your specific stone material, using spindle speeds of 3500-4500 RPM and feed rates between 80-120 IPM depending on material hardness and density. The moderate panel sizes balance manageable handling characteristics with efficient cutting times and material yield. Ensure adequate material support throughout the cutting process to prevent flexing that could compromise dimensional accuracy, and use strategic tab placements at panel corners to prevent shifting during fabrication. Label each panel by grid position immediately after cutting to facilitate proper installation sequence and intended pattern arrangement.
Material Compatibility
This template is compatible with the full range of architectural stone materials including granite, marble, quartzite, engineered quartz, and porcelain panels in standard 2cm to 3cm thicknesses. The 30x60 format with prominent grout spacing works particularly well for multi-material installations where different but complementary stones occupy different quadrants, creating dynamic compositions with clear visual separation. Uniform materials emphasize clean geometric form, while veined materials create interesting interplay between natural patterns and imposed grid structure. The prominent grout lines also work effectively with smaller-scale stone patterns, mosaic-like materials, or textured stones where the grid provides visual organization and architectural framing of material characteristics.
Where to Buy
Stone materials suitable for grid feature wall applications are available from stone suppliers, fabrication shops, tile showrooms, and major distributors including MSI, Arizona Tile, Daltile, Cosmos Surfaces, and regional specialty stone yards. The 30x60 format represents moderate material requirements that can be fulfilled with standard inventory, though the grid configuration also makes efficient use of remnant materials or value-priced selections for budget-conscious projects.
