Description
This professional-grade DXF template delivers complete fabrication specifications for a luxurious 48-inch by 36-inch stone shower pan featuring a full-length 36-inch linear drain positioned along one side wall. The expansive 48x36 footprint combined with the full-length 36-inch side-wall drain creates the ultimate luxury shower experience, providing exceptional drainage capacity while showcasing premium stone materials across an impressive surface area. This configuration represents the pinnacle of contemporary shower design, combining generous space with maximum drainage efficiency. The 48x36 format accommodates multiple shower heads, rainfall systems, body sprays, and other luxury fixtures while the full-length 36-inch side-wall drain captures water instantly along the entire drain-equipped wall. This larger format with extended drain showcases premium stone materials beautifully, allowing fabricators to highlight dramatic veining patterns and natural stone characteristics. The simple single-plane slope from the opposite wall toward the full-length drain ensures efficient water management while simplifying fabrication compared to traditional drainage systems. Fabricators receive comprehensive technical specifications including precisely calculated slope geometry optimized for the 48-inch span, exact drain channel pocket dimensions for the full 36-inch wall-mounted placement, complete perimeter reference lines, and CNC-ready toolpaths compatible with all major fabrication systems. The template supports granite, marble, quartzite, and engineered quartz materials.

Installation Overview
Installation of this premium large-format shower pan demands careful planning and execution. Verify substrate can support substantial weight, critical for second-floor installations. Confirm rough plumbing accommodates the full-length side-wall drain with horizontal piping within or behind wall structure. Prepare waterproofing extending from floor up the entire drain-equipped wall. Set the 36-inch linear drain body perfectly level along the full wall length at correct height for 1/4 inch per foot slope across the 48-inch width. Apply premium thin-set mortar with complete coverage. Position the stone pan using long level to verify slope accuracy across the full span. The full-length drain channel requires precise alignment along entire wall. Install waterproofing membrane integrating the extended drain flange with floor and wall surfaces. Allow complete cure time and perform thorough water testing.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program single-plane slope from high edge across full 48-inch width toward side-wall drain, maintaining precise 1/4 inch per foot pitch. The larger span requires careful toolpath planning for consistent finish. Cut the full-length drain channel pocket along one 48-inch edge, extending 36 inches along the wall. The extended pocket demands precise depth control and ramping strategies to prevent tool stress. Use sharp diamond tooling for natural stone, replacing bits proactively. For engineered quartz, carbide bits with appropriate feed rates produce optimal results. Recommend 3cm material for this span. The high edge requires appropriate finishing. The drain-side edge must be precisely cut for tight wall fit. Dry-fit the actual 36-inch drain body before final polishing.
Material Compatibility
Best suited for dense granite varieties providing structural integrity across the 48-inch span. Premium selections like absolute black granite and steel grey offer excellent performance. Engineered quartz materials excel due to uniform density and superior stain resistance. Quartzite provides exceptional hardness for luxury installations. Marble can be used with proper sealing. The 48x36 size with full-length drain pocket requires materials free from natural fissures, heavy cross-grain veining, or thickness variation. Verify slip-resistance ratings for shower floor safety.
