Description
This professional DXF template provides complete fabrication specifications for a 36-inch by 36-inch stone shower pan featuring an extended 30-inch linear drain positioned along one side wall. The 30-inch drain length offers enhanced drainage capacity compared to shorter models while maintaining the space-efficient side-wall configuration ideal for curbless and barrier-free shower designs. This template delivers the perfect balance between drainage performance and contemporary minimalist aesthetics. Side-wall linear drains transform modern bathroom design by integrating drainage directly into the wall structure, leaving the shower floor clean and unobstructed. The 30-inch drain extends nearly the full width of the 36-inch pan dimension, providing exceptional water capture capability suitable for high-flow shower systems including rainfall heads and body sprays. The single-plane slope from the opposite wall toward the drain-equipped wall simplifies fabrication while ensuring reliable drainage performance. Fabricators receive comprehensive technical specifications including precise slope calculations, extended drain channel pocket dimensions, perimeter reference geometry, and CNC-ready toolpaths. The template supports all premium stone materials including granite, marble, quartzite, and engineered quartz, with file compatibility across all major CNC fabrication systems and CAD software platforms.

Installation Overview
Installation begins with verifying rough plumbing matches the template's side-wall drain position, remembering that side-wall drains require horizontal piping within or behind the wall before dropping through the floor. Prepare the substrate with waterproofing that extends from the shower floor up the drain-equipped wall. Set the 30-inch linear drain body level along the wall at correct height to achieve 1/4 inch per foot slope across the 36-inch width. Apply thin-set mortar with full coverage to prevent voids. Position the stone pan using a level to verify consistent slope toward the wall drain. The extended drain channel must align perfectly with the wall, creating tight junction that prevents water intrusion. Install waterproofing membrane integrating the drain flange with both floor and wall surfaces. Allow proper cure time and perform water testing before completing wall tile. This configuration excels in curbless shower applications when properly coordinated with bathroom floor elevation.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program single-plane slope from the high edge toward the side-wall drain location, maintaining precise 1/4 inch per foot pitch across the full 36-inch width. Cut the extended drain channel pocket along one 36-inch edge to exact specifications for your side-wall drain model, extending 30 inches centered along the wall. The extended pocket length requires careful toolpath planning to maintain consistent depth and avoid chipping at the ends. Pocket depth should be 1/8 inch deeper than drain flange thickness. Use sharp diamond tooling for natural stone, monitoring bit condition during the extended pocket cut. For engineered quartz, carbide bits with reduced feed rates produce optimal results. The high edge requires appropriate finishing profile - commonly small eased edge or safety chamfer. The drain-side edge must be precisely cut for tight wall fit. Always dry-fit the actual 30-inch drain body before final polishing to verify pocket dimensions and wall alignment.
Material Compatibility
Ideal for dense granite varieties that maintain structural integrity across the 36-inch slope. Engineered quartz materials perform exceptionally well due to uniform density and non-porous composition. Quartzite offers natural beauty with excellent hardness for long-term performance. Marble can be used with proper sealing, though darker granites show less water spotting. The extended 30-inch drain pocket removes significant material along one edge, so select stones free from natural fissures or inconsistent thickness. Verify all materials meet slip-resistance requirements for shower floor safety. The side-wall configuration showcases stone grain patterns when aligned perpendicular to the drain for visual flow.
Where to Buy
This professional DXF template is available as a free download from Slabwise. Side-wall linear drain systems in 30-inch length are manufactured by Schluter Systems Kerdi-Line, Infinity Drain, QuickDrain USA, ACO ShowerDrain, and Laticrete Hydro Ban Linear Drain. Verify your drain model supports side-wall mounting. Natural stone slabs are available through wholesale distributors carrying granite, marble, and quartzite. Engineered quartz materials from Caesarstone, Cambria, Silestone, and HanStone work excellently in this application.
