Description
Create stunning architectural feature walls with our 4x4 grid template engineered for 36x72 inch installations. This professional DXF file produces 16 precisely cut panels, each measuring approximately 8.9 x 17.9 inches with 0.125" grout spacing. The sixteen-panel grid creates detailed geometric precision, making it ideal for large-format commercial and residential applications. Designed for professional fabricators, this template ensures accurate CNC cutting across natural stone, engineered quartz, porcelain slabs, and sintered stone materials. The refined 0.125" grout spacing provides contemporary aesthetic appeal while maintaining practical installation tolerances. Compatible with standard CNC waterjet and bridge saw equipment, this template delivers repeatable precision for feature walls, accent installations, and architectural cladding projects.

Installation Overview
Professional installation of this 16-panel system requires careful substrate preparation and precise layout marking. Establish reference lines using laser levels to ensure accurate panel positioning across the 36x72 surface area. The 0.125" grout spacing demands flat substrate conditions and dimensional consistency. Use professional tile leveling systems designed for large-format applications to maintain uniform spacing and plane alignment. Installation typically proceeds from bottom to top or following systematic grid patterns, with each panel numbered according to template position for error-free placement. Allow proper adhesive cure times before grouting, following manufacturer specifications for your chosen installation materials.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program CNC equipment to cut 16 panels at approximately 8.9 x 17.9 inches with tight dimensional tolerances. The 0.125" grout spacing requires excellent edge quality - invest in proper cutting tools and speeds to achieve clean, chip-free edges. Plan cutting layouts to optimize material usage and maintain grain or pattern flow across panels. For natural stone with directional veining, arrange cuts to create desired visual effects through book-matching or sequence-matching. Apply permanent grid position labels on panel backs to ensure correct field installation. Edge finishing specifications should match installation requirements - polished or honed for exposed perimeters, standard cut where grout conceals edges.
Material Compatibility
This versatile template works across all major architectural surface materials. Natural stone including granite, marble, and quartzite showcases beautifully at this scale. Engineered quartz offers consistent color when sourced from matching production lots. Porcelain slabs and sintered stone provide lightweight, low-maintenance alternatives. Material thickness options include 2cm for weight-conscious applications and 3cm for substantial presence with deeper grout line reveals. The panel configuration suits both uniform materials for clean geometric impact and dramatic veined materials where the 4x4 grid layout enhances natural patterns through strategic panel arrangement.
