Description
This 2x2 grid feature wall template in 36x72 inch format with 1/4-inch grout spacing creates balanced geometric compositions ideal for contemporary stone wall installations. The template divides the panel into four equal quadrants, separated by precise 1/4" grout lines that create prominent geometric articulation. The square grid pattern creates balanced geometric interest suitable for diverse modern and contemporary design applications. This professional DXF template is optimized for CNC fabrication and suitable for residential feature walls, commercial accent installations, hospitality interiors, retail environments, and modern architectural spaces where geometric precision and contemporary aesthetics are design priorities.

Installation Overview
Installation of 36x72 inch 2x2 grid panels requires systematic approach and precise spacing control to achieve consistent geometric appearance across the 4-panel assembly. The 2x2 quadrant layout requires maintaining both vertical and horizontal alignment for proper geometric appearance. Begin by establishing accurate reference lines for the overall panel footprint, then install the 4 individual panels with consistent 1/4" spacing using premium tile spacers or custom spacing systems. Use laser levels for alignment verification, work methodically from fixed reference points, and employ temporary support during adhesive curing. The prominent 1/4-inch grout joints require proper filling techniques including adequate packing, consistent tooling, and sufficient cure time. Consider grout color as a primary design element that significantly influences the overall aesthetic.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC fabrication of the 2x2 grid template in 36x72 format involves cutting 4 panels measuring approximately 17.875 x 35.875 inches from a single 36x72 inch slab section when possible to maintain color and pattern consistency. Configure your CNC router with appropriate diamond tooling for your stone material, using spindle speeds of 3500-4500 RPM and feed rates between 80-120 IPM depending on material hardness. The equal quadrant dimensions simplify cutting operations while maintaining material stability. Implement adequate material support throughout cutting, use strategic tab placements at panel corners to prevent shifting, and label each panel by grid position immediately after cutting to facilitate correct installation sequence and pattern alignment.
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 slab thicknesses. Both uniform materials emphasizing geometric form and dramatically veined stones creating dynamic natural patterns work well with the grid structure. The 36x72 inch format yields efficiently from jumbo slabs measuring 130x75 inches or larger, and the grid division into 4 panels makes the template suitable for both premium stone selections and value-oriented materials depending on project budget and design objectives.
Where to Buy
Stone materials for grid feature wall installations are available from stone suppliers, fabrication shops, tile showrooms, and major distributors including MSI, Arizona Tile, Daltile, Cosmos Surfaces, and regional stone yards. The grid configuration makes efficient use of materials including remnants for budget-conscious projects.
