Description
Elevate your architectural projects with our precision-engineered 3x3 grid feature wall template designed for 30x60 inch installations. This professional DXF file creates a balanced nine-panel layout with each panel measuring 9.917 x 19.917 inches, separated by refined 1/8 inch grout lines that provide subtle definition without overwhelming the design. The larger 30x60 format offers increased visual impact compared to smaller templates while maintaining the versatility and elegance of the classic 3x3 grid configuration. Ideal for mid-to-large scale feature walls in commercial lobbies, luxury residential spaces, hospitality environments, and upscale retail locations, this template works seamlessly with a wide range of materials from natural stone to engineered surfaces. The proportions create pleasing vertical panels that draw the eye upward while the symmetrical grid provides balanced composition. Fabricators will appreciate the efficient material utilization and straightforward cutting requirements that make this template both beautiful and practical for production environments.

Installation Overview
Installing the nine panels requires careful planning and execution to achieve professional results across the 30x60 surface area. Establish precise reference lines using laser levels, marking both horizontal and vertical grid positions before beginning panel placement. The 1/8 inch grout spacing necessitates accurate substrate preparation and dimensional control - any wall irregularities or panel size variations become immediately apparent with such narrow joints. Professional installers typically work in rows from bottom to top, using leveling spacers and clips to maintain consistent grout width and panel plane alignment. Given the moderate panel size of approximately 10 x 20 inches, two-person handling is recommended for safety and accurate positioning during adhesive application.
CNC Cutting Notes
Configure your CNC waterjet or bridge saw to cut nine panels at the specified 9.917 x 19.917 inch dimensions with minimal tolerance variation. The narrow 1/8 inch grout spacing demands excellent edge quality - rough or chipped edges will be visible in the finished installation and may prevent proper panel spacing. Program corner radii or sharp 90-degree corners based on project specifications, ensuring consistency across all nine panels. For materials with directional veining or patterns, plan your cutting layout to maintain aesthetic flow across the grid. Edge finishing options include polished, honed, or eased profiles depending on the material and desired appearance. Apply permanent marking to panel backs indicating row and column positions to prevent installation errors.
Material Compatibility
This template accommodates the full spectrum of architectural surface materials including granite, marble, quartzite, limestone, engineered quartz, porcelain slabs, and sintered stone products. The 10 x 20 inch panel dimensions work well with both 2cm and 3cm material thicknesses, though 3cm creates more pronounced shadow lines at grout joints for enhanced visual depth. Natural stones with dramatic veining benefit from the symmetrical grid layout - consider book-matching or sequence-matching across the nine panels for stunning visual effects. Porcelain and sintered stone options offer weight advantages for installations where loading is a concern, while maintaining the aesthetic impact of natural materials. The template's proportions fit efficiently within standard slab sizes, minimizing waste during fabrication.
